The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT 

“Finally,” our new mid-engine C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette 3LT has arrived. It is the first generation to have its naturally aspirated V-8 engine mounted behind the passenger compartment, and its sharp handling and explosive acceleration are a match for sports cars costing hundreds of thousands more. The stunning, very rare color combination on this Corvette is Elkhart Lake Blue with Natural Dipped leather interior.

2023 marked the 70th anniversary of Corvette, the longest running nameplate of any car on the road today. Our Corvette Gallery now includes samples from all eight generations of the Corvette.

More About the Corvette 3LT
Although its engine is in a new location, the 3LT remains a 6.2 liter V-8, producing 490 horsepower and 470 ft-lbs of torque. With the dual-mode performance exhaust that is part of the optional Z51 package, it increases to 495 hp. The Z51 option also adds an electronic limited-slip rear differential, more aggressive brakes, suspension upgrades, and summer tires.

An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic (a Corvette first) is the only transmission offered; it pre-selects the next gear so that shifts are virtually seamless, up or down. There are five drive modes –Weather, Tour, Sport, Track and Individual – with not only the shift patterns altering through the modes but also the electronic differential settings, steering, throttle map and more. The 3LT is the highest trim available with many of the most luxurious features included.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette furthers its reputation as a high-value everyday supercar by providing blistering acceleration, phenomenal handling, a comfortable and well-trimmed cabin, and usable cargo space, yet it costs far less than its exotic competition.
