The Wicked Car Magazine was born to bring to its readers the true Americana Car Culture. We want to showcase the brotherhood it brings with it along with the open highways, corn fields, farms, swap meets, cruise nights, and historic locations.

The magazine is not about how much advertising can be cramped into each page but more about showing our readers where we go and what we capture.

Along the way in this journey, we meet interesting people, visit unique places and try our best to bring you their stories and provide you with informative and practical articles.

From front- to mid-engine, in under three seconds “Corvette has always represented the pinnacle of innovation and boundary-pushing at GM. The traditional front-engine vehicle reached its limits of performance, necessitating the new layout,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history. Customers are going to be thrilled with our focus on details and performance across the board.”

The new mid-engine layout gives the 2020 Stingray:

Better weight distribution, with the rear weight bias enhancing performance in a • straight line and on the track.

Better responsiveness and sense of control due to driver positioning closer to the front • axle, almost on top of the front wheels.

The fastest 0-60 time of any entry Corvette ever — under three seconds when • equipped with Z51 Performance Package.

A race car-like view of the road due to lower positioning of the hood, instrument panel • and steering wheel. Excellent forward sightlines throughout the vehicle for both driver and passenger.

An enhancement of Corvette’s traditional utility strengths, with dual trunks for a total of • 12.6 cubic feet of cargo volume, ideal for luggage or two sets of golf clubs

Design inspired by racing and aeronautics The 2020 Stingray’s exterior has a bold, futuristic expression with mid-engine exotic proportions, but it is still unmistakably Corvette. It’s lean and muscular, with an athletic sculptural shape conveying a sense of motion and power from every angle.

“As America’s most iconic performance nameplate, redesigning the Corvette Stingray from the ground up presented the team a historic opportunity, something Chevrolet designers have desired for over 60 years,” said Michael Simcoe, vice president of Global Design, General Motors. “It is now the best of America, a new arrival in the mid-engine sports car class. We know Corvette can stand tall with the best the world has to offer.”

A supercar level of craftsmanship, premium materials and attention to detail were critical in designing every component of the Stingray. The new location of the engine is truly the focal point for the car’s design. It’s the heart of this next generation Corvette and it sits like a jewel in a showcase, visible through the large rear hatch window. The added attention to detail optimized the appearance of every wire, tube, bolt and fastener, similar to those found in modern track and all-road motorcycle design.
