Forza Horizon 4: Making the Corvette great again!

The Chevrolet Corvette is the ultimate symbol of American freedom since 1953. On the road and on the track, the Corvette has showcased what America is capable of when battling against the best of Europe and Japan.

Through the years, the Corvette has seen numerous evolutions with the seventh-generation Corvette served as the biggest turning point in its history for being the last front-engined, rear-wheel drive Corvette ever made. With the eighth-generation Corvette, America's sports car gained the most radical evolution ever witnessed.

The C8 Corvette marks a radical beginning in the Corvette's over six-decade history because, for the first time, it's mid-engined. While purists called the transition treason to the Corvette heritage, the people behind the development called it a fulfillment of the dream envisioned by a certain expert who tried creating mid-engined prototypes for General Motors. It's armed with the newly-built 6.2L LT2 V8 engine mounted in the middle, which produces up to 495HP of power and 470lb-ft of torque, while mated to a double-clutch gearbox for the first time.

I won this car from the recent Horizon Series 31 Summer Playlist and since I'm familiar with the mid-engined Corvette Stingray (I tried one from another game, you know), I'm getting used to its newfound behavior this C8 Corvette possesses ever since its transition to a mid-engine layout. It's about as advanced, as dynamic, and as enjoyable to drive as, let's say, a Ferrari F430 and looks like Chevrolet's on the roll for making the Corvette great again, whatever that is.

To see how much the C8 Corvette evolved, let's take it to the streets of Edinburgh as it deals against the world's best sportscars just to show them how capable this new version is. Roll the tape.

Even with new tech and layout, it's still as old school as any American muscle can be.

The mid-engine C8 Corvette is no longer a muscle car from the past and has evolved into a supercar that takes on the world's best machines. Clichés aside, the new Corvette is proof of American greatness that can't be denied, and guess what, they've made the Corvette great again! Well, that's not a nice way to say it but well done about that. This is by no means the best Corvette I have ever experienced and that is the bottom line.

Enjoy your new ride!
