What defines a supercar? Is it a mid-engine configuration? Or is it the ability to hit 200 mph? Both are qualification criteria I’ve heard argued in the past, the latter often while laughing at a brand whose sports car could only hit 199 mph. Well, if you believe both of those are valid hoops a car has to jump through to count, then your argument that a base Corvette Stingray isn’t a supercar is officially out the window. That’s because the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray — now with a new 6.7-liter LS7 V8 — is capable of hitting 200, as has been verified by the Corvette engineering team. And all for less money than you have to fork out for a BMW M4. Did someone say “supercar bargain?”
