The C8 Chevrolet Corvette is plenty fast in its base Stingray trim. Specifically, Chevy lists an official top speed of 194 mph for the 'Vette, provided it doesn't have the optional Z51 package which adds a bit more drag. We don't know if the blue C8 featured in this new AutoTopNL video is equipped as such, but it doesn't waste time reaching well beyond a buck fifty ... when traffic allows.
That's what makes this video a bit different from other autobahn speed runs we've seen from the AutoTopNL team. Simply having a stretch of highway with no speed limit doesn't always mean it's prudent to put the hammer down, but there are some breaks in the traffic where the Corvette can stretch things out. Even then, we see a maximum speedometer reading of 266 kph, which equals 165 mph. It's well short of the Corvette's official top speed, but with the car still pulling strong at that point, there's clearly more for the mid-mount V8 to give.
