The Chevrolet Corvette Manta Ray Will Not Be Produced

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the big problem about the “Manta Ray” name on Chevrolet cars or any of their future concepts cars is that the automaker actually already applied for this trademark name back in 2015.

But this is not an impediment to still launch the C8 variants that features a fiat-plane crank V-8 engine which delivers from 600 hp and 1,000 hp on the all-wheel-drive hybrid.

Also, the future 2022 Corvette Z06 is expected to deliver 650 hp and 813 Nm of torque. Eagerly we expect the new range-topping variant named Zora powered by the twin-powered V8 helped by an electric motor to create the perfect all-wheel-drive hybrid to deliver 1,000 hp and 1321 pf torque.
