Chevrolet is ready to uncover its all-new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Convertible in the coming month. The company released a seven seconds video recently which shows the disappearance of the roof from the top and also a Facebook post showing convertible C8 race car at the end of July. 

In a recent presentation, the Corvette assembly plant manager, Kai Spande mentioned a more clear timeline for the upcoming vehicle. Spande stated that the convertible is set to arrive "in the October time frame" while giving a presentation during the National Corvette Museum's annual event.

The exterior styling of the Chevrolet Corvette 2020 can be observed from the pictures, the front end up to the A-pillar is similar to the coupe. It includes a folding hardtop, nacelles behind the seats for rollover protection, and also a glass panel between them to control increased wind protection in the cabin. As far as the rear deck is concerned, the earlier design showing engine view is changed and now only vents can be seen in the panel.

The mechanical bits of the vehicle are still not disclosed by the automaker but it can be estimated that the same 6.2-litre V8 in the droptop model will be there, which makes 490 PS of power in stock form and 495 PS with the optional performance exhaust. An eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only provided option for the gearbox. As per the leaked data, the vehicle weighs 1,650 kilograms with the Z51 package and 46 kilograms less without that.

The official premiere of the vehicle is scheduled for October 2, it will go on sale in early 2020. However, convertible C8 may not excite the buyers initially as the winters are approaching but still the folding hardtop vehicle is more four-season friendly in comparison to open-roof Corvette.
