And so we thought we’d dig up a *gentle* (disclaimer: not at all) reminder of just how blasphemous the 5.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine is.
Join the Corvette Racing C7.R at the Sebring International Raceway back in 2019 for one of the last races before Chevrolet switched to the flat-plane crank, mid-mounted V8 engine in the C8.R.
With this engine configuration now consigned to the history books, it’s a marvellous memorial to the shoutiest V8 we know. So, open your ears and revel in the peaks and troughs of its glorious rev range.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: Le Mans with a Carrera RSR 2.8
