Ever wondered how fast a C8 Vette can go on the German autobahn? Well YouTuber Eckart has you covered
This was one of just three C8 Stingray's in the country and is a 2021 model year example
Finished in this sinister shade of jet-black, this C8 looks nothing short of a bat mobile, albeit a bit toned down obviously
He then moves on to take a look under the hood. The C8 is mid-engined and packs the NA 6.2-L LT2 V-8 that's good for 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque
Euro-spec C8's will be slightly detuned to comply with tighter emissions there, but with 482 hp and 450 lb-ft, the Stingray should still be plenty fast
Especially when you consider that every Euro-spec C8 will get the Z51 package as standard
With that, he climbs himself into what is essentially a cockpit
He fires up the LT2 to hear the rumble cross plank V8
Soundcheck complete, it was now time to unleash its fury on the open road. Here he is on the On-ramp of the autobahn
Thankfully it wasn't very busy and Eckart was able to push the C8 to an impressive 282 km/h or 175 mph
Given enough space, it should easily be able to crack 180. I wonder what the light Z06 will be able to do in Germany. Swipe up to watch the video.
