Corvette C8 Interior
Click here for Corvette C8 slideshow
The P-R-N-D-M transmission controls. Previous Corvettes had a stick emanating from the console, but for the C8 three dimensional pull toggles switches (Reverse and Drive) and push buttons (for Park, Neutral and Low/Manual) are used. The result is that in a critical area of the interior, much space is freed up.
In front of the drive mode control knob is a set of three buttons. The left button can turn off the traction control, or, with a double tap, bring on more sophisticated traction and stability in the form of Chevrolet's Performance Traction Management. The center button summons the front end lift which raises the nose two inches. There's also a prompt on the screen that asks if you want the GPS to remember the location so it can automatically raise the front the next time it is in the area. Very slick! The far right button brings on the forward facing camera in case you need the extra visibility.
The climate controls for the Corvette C8 are a definite departure from just about anything automotive. The problem, according to designer Tom Peters, is that putting them in the usual place - under and around the navigation screen - would have forced the screen to be repositioned higher or made smaller.
The solution was found in jet fighter cockpits, which similarly have many committed buttons and limited space. Their problem is solved by placing them to the side of the pilot and a similar solution was decided on for the C8.
The buttons control fan speed, temperature, seat heating and cooling for driver and passenger along with windshield and rear window defogging.
The instrumentation on the C8 is 100% digital; its C7 predecesor had analog speedometer, fuel and oil pressure gauges. The 12 inch diagonal C8 instrument screen features three distinct themes.
2020 Corvette C8 steering wheel is "squareish", a reflection of it's performance roots as under aggressive driving situations the hands are always in the "three o'clock, nine o'clock" position. A flat bottom wheel first appeared in the 2015 C7 Z06 and was so popular it was included in all the subsequent C7s.
As with the C7, there are three interior options available. Above is the 3LT, which includes Custom Leather Wrapped Interior Package (Leather-wrapped upper instrument panel, door trim panels and console cover)

WAITING FORMY S51 STINGRAY TO BE BUILT.
Hi Felippe:
Thank you for your comment, but I will disagree. Corvettes typically have not had a real mid-front configuration.
I to am disappointed at the lack of a manual transmission but there is some justification. Also, they were never practical and are being made with traditional Corvette materials.
~paul
It always was mid engine, never heard about mid-front? Until 2019 it was too 50-50, and now is 40-60.
I really can't see the advantage: Don't drive as a Corvette anymore, don't looks like a Corvette, don't have the practicality of a Corvette, don't use the materials of a Corvette, don't have stick shift like every single Corvette and in the Z06 version don't even sounds like a Corvette anymore.
What is this? a Ferrari 458 replica that GM made and named a "Corvette"? This is just a mistake.
