Thank you Sheepdog, No Plasboy I do not believe these cars are going to be flown to Tustin.These test cars are most likely tired The four reported cars headed to Tustin are on a Truck enroute.
Looks as though , they are definitely leaving The Ring, hopefully with good OFFICIAL track times, something we did see with the C7. Could the test times be the next leak ??? Maybe GM will leak the track times. My prediction is 6 minutes 52 seconds. ??? Could there be a sub 7 minute track time??? Will GM make track times official??? I feel if GM does not with voiced pressure, then maybe the Track Times weren't as expected. Was there a TT version in that mix.?? A TT version in a Stingray Body?? May want to start a survey/ poll.
Seeing the cars leaving the track sure raises a lot of questions for me.

Wonder if they are going on an airplane to be at the reveal.

Nice find! In the second photo you can see the car on the right has red competition seats and a red ring around the center of the wheel. Perhaps this wheel centerline will match whatever interior color you choose?

Six 2020 Corvette Prototypes Spotted Departing The Nurburgring

BY SERGIU TUDOSE | POSTED ONJULY 15, 2019

We’re only a few days away from Chevrolet unveiling the all-new 2020 mid-engine Corvette, an event that you’ll be able to follow online via livestream.


Proceedings will kick off on July 18 at 7:30 pm PDT / 10:30 pm EDT, and you can get in on the action using this link. Until then, the automaker is apparently calling for all hands to be on deck, as no fewer than six Corvette C8 prototypes were spotted recently departing their testing grounds at the Nurburgring.

These prototypes, getting loaded onto a transport truck, are all heavily camouflaged and there aren’t any new visual cues for us to pick up on, especially since they are the exact same cars that had previously been scooped during track tests in Germany.

While largely the same as the current LT1 6.2-liter V8 from the C7, Chevrolet has apparently updated the unit’s active fuel management system and also made various valve improvements for the sake of refinement. In terms of power, it could produce somewhere between 480 and 500 horses, giving it a slight edge over the 460 HP currently offered up in the C7 Stingray Z51 and C7 Grand Sport models. As for torque, that should also go up from 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) to around 480 lb-ft (650 Nm).
