10 Cars The 2020 Corvette C8 Can Beat Off The Line

Some of the priciest supercars on the market have plenty of power and speed, but not all of them are as fast as GM’s (GM) 2020 Chevy Corvette C8. This sports car boasts a 490 horsepower mid-mounted engine that can hit zero-to-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, beating out many of its competitors in a race.

MotorTrend has tested some of the fastest cars to grace the streets, and it has put the C8 up against 10 competitors in a head-to-head face-off to see if the C8 is the fastest. Here are 10 cars that the C8’s zero-to-60 mph acceleration time beats off the line.

2017 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

For starters, the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet has a zero-to-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds, just shy of the C8’s speed record, according to MotorTrend. This car has 540 horsepower with 486 pounds-per-feet of torque, which is more power than the C8, but it can’t match its speed.

2019 McLaren Senna

The 2019 McLaren Senna is a beast with a sticker price of $982,816, but it too comes in over the C8’s 2.8 second time at a tenth of a second more, the news outlet reported. This lightweight car is rated 789 horsepower and has 590 pounds-per-feet of torque, which is just not enough to beat this new 2020 Corvette.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo

Also, reportedly coming in with a zero-to-60 mph speed time of 2.9 seconds is the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo. This sports car is powerful and aerodynamic with a 600-horsepower rating, but it doesn’t have the power to keep up with the C8.

2019 McLaren 600 LT

Hitting the 2.9-second mark is an accomplishment for any vehicle, including the 2019 McLaren 600LT, but it is just not quick enough to beat out the C8, MotorTrend said. This supercar has a light, fast design with a 562 horsepower V8 engine.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador

With a 2.9 second record for hitting zero-to-60 mph, the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is quick but not as quick as the Corvette C8, according to the news outlet. With a 691 horsepower V12 engine, the car just isn’t a match for the speed of Chevy’s new model.

2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

One of the slower on the list with a reported 3.0 second zero-to-60 mph time is the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Even with the newest technology and development, this sports car comes in behind the C8 even with is 4.0-liter engine rated 520 horsepower.

2016 McLaren 675LT

Also, with a reported 3.0 second zero-to-60 mph speed time is the 2016 McLaren 675LT. This sleek vision has 180 horsepower more than the C8, and it weighs less too, but it is not enough to beat it off the line.

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

Hitting the 3.0-second benchmark is a natural for the 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia, the news outlet reported. Both the 458 and the C8 have a V8 engine mounted in the middle of the vehicle with dual-clutch transmissions, but the Corvette is just a faster car.

2017 Ford GT

The 2017 Ford GT is quick at 3.0 seconds, but it has nothing on the C8, which beats its zero-to-60 mph time by a reported two-tenths of a second. The GT is equipped with more power and has a lighter bodyweight, but it can’t keep up with the lightening speed of the C8.

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye

Hitting the 3.8 second zero-to-60 mph mark is the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, MotorTrend said. This demon of a car is rated 797 horsepower with a wide-body stance, but it is no match for the quickness of the C8.
