A big leak -- more like someone leaving the faucet on full blast -- has supposedly outed the Chevrolet C8 Corvette's future. And the details of the leak largely confirm past rumors about new variants in the pipeline.

Hagerty reported Wednesday after obtaining a General Motors document explained a company-wide order to halt future vehicle development, the Chevy Corvette included. In it, Hagerty shared details from the document surrounding what's supposedly in the works for the mid-engined Corvette, and if it's valid, there is a total of four new Corvettes coming.

First is the Corvette Z06, which is really a no-brainer addition. According to the information, there will be a 5.5-liter dual-overhead cam V8 mounted, with the LT6 designation, in the middle that produces 650 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. Note, there's no indication of a turbocharger or supercharger mentioned, and this matches some specs from the Corvette C8.R race car. The new machine also sports a 5.5-liter DOHC V8 sans forced induction. It's widely speculated this is the same engine that'll plop into the Corvette Z06 down the road. According to this information, that's supposedly coming for 2022, but delays could push it back further.

My takeaway is that the earliest the car will go on sale is 2022 and we are making the assumption that CBR wheels will be offered same with the upcoming Ferrari SUV which once again is not due to 2022 and once again the assumption is made that CBR wheels will be offered as an option. Thats a full 18 months !!!!!!
