A heavily camouflaged Chevrolet Corvette C8 prototype has been spotted during testing, its engine bay and body details carefully concealed. Spy shots circulating online point to potential tweaks in the sports-car lineup for the 2026 model year.The biggest talking point is the sealed-off engine area and a Buick badge on the wheel caps — a curious touch that may hint at the return of the Grand Sport. Historically, that version bridged the gap between the Stingray and the Z06.Foreign media suggest the camouflage could be hiding a new 6.2-liter V8 from the Gen 6 Small Block family. The unit is said to promise greater efficiency and smoother operation and could replace the current LT2 in the Stingray. There’s no official power figure yet, but preliminary estimates point to more than 490 hp.If these assumptions prove accurate, the new Corvette would mark another step in the evolution of the American supercar, blending familiar character with modern technology. The approach looks like measured progress — enough to keep it in the fight with the class leaders without straying from the formula that made it desirable in the first place.
