Peterson Automotive Museum will showcase new 2020 Corvette on a special occasion

The Peterson Automotive Museum will host two days of special events celebrating the life and accomplishment of former Chevy chief engineer and racer Zora Arkus-Duntov, a.k.a. the "Father of the Corvette". This two-day celebration will feature some premium events, which will display the new 2020 Corvette Stingray, a VIP reception, exclusive Corvette rally event, Corvette car show and a special panel for discussion.

As you might know, 2020 Corvette Stingray is the first-ever production mid-engine Corvette and is by far the most powerful Corvette ever produced. The vehicle features a large next-gen 6.2-liter Small Block V8 LT2 engine that produces a total of 495hp and 475lb-ft of torque. What is special about this mid-engine platform is the fact that it allows greater handling performance and also contributes to this bold and futuristic sporty expression.
