TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Audi R8 is a mid-engine superhero in a suit and tie. Its performance is blinding, even compared to high-dollar exotics.

The switch to a mid-engine design makes the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette faster in a straight line and around a track. Mission accomplished.

TCC Likes

Stupefying performance
Updated looks
Lusty V-10 engine

Mid-engine layout promises better rear-wheel traction
Fast as the dickens
Corvette lines work with new form

TCC Dislikes

...but not an approachable price
No cargo storage
Comparatively dull looks

Performance was already paramount
Less usable cargo space
No more manual transmission
