Sports cars may not really be popular in Nigeria, mainly because of the lack of good roads. Despite this, Burna Boy, Jowi Zaza, and other Abuja billionaires who own one or two sports cars hardly drive them. There was a video trending online a few years ago showing Julian Osula struggling to bring out his Ferrari 458 Italia at his home in VGC due to issues with his landscape.

Ola of Lagos has promised to reward anyone who can bring a buyer for the newly arrived 2023 Corvette C8, which was brought into the country by the popular luxury car dealer, Mayfair Autos Ltd. According to him, the 2023 Corvette C8 is selling for just 250 million naira and comes in a 3L version. The 2023 Corvette C8 comes in three trim levels: 1, 2, and 3 LT, while the 3 LTE is the highest tube. It also features a couple of extra packages, like a spoiler at the bottom, rear summer tyres, and operating and breaking for performance.
Additionally, this high-value performer comes with a 490-hp 6.2-litre V-8 engine mounted behind the cabin enough grunt to pull off a 2.8-second 60-mph time in our testing. Sadly, you can’t get a Corvette with a stick shift, but the eight-speed automatic does a great job of choosing gears and provides satisfyingly quick shifts when you use the steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
What’s New for the 2023 Corvette C8?
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Corvette, and to celebrate, Chevrolet will offer a special commemorative edition. The 70th Anniversary model will be available only on the top-line 3LT trim but can be ordered on both the coupe or convertible body style.
