Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible Rental in San Diego
The red Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible with the tan interior is based in San Diego. It is the mid-engine car strangers read as Italian until they see the badge, and with the hardtop folded the tan cabin is part of the picture. Book it for the first supercar weekend, the birthday drive up the coast or the bayfront photo at sunset. We deliver it across San Diego, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Need a driver?
A chauffeur is available on request for this car, so you can take the back seat and let the arrival do the talking.
How It Drives
Hold the switch and the hardtop folds into the deck behind you in about 16 seconds at under 30 mph, so it goes down leaving the hotel driveway. Then the 6.2 liter V8 is right behind your head with nothing in the way. It is naturally aspirated, 490 hp, and it answers the pedal now, with no turbo to wait for. The 8-speed dual-clutch is lazy for the first foot off the line and then quicker than your hand. You sit far forward, almost over the front wheels, with the windshield close and the hood short, so the car feels smaller than it is. Take it down Highway 101 through Del Mar and Solana Beach at 35 mph with the top down. That is where the V8 burble under the surf shops lands. Cold start is loud on every C8.
How It Photographs
Red Mist is a dark metallic red, not the flat Torch Red. In direct sun it goes candy and the creases down the door read as hard black lines. In open shade it drops to a deep wine colour and the tan seats become the brightest thing in the frame. After dark the taillights and the bayfront lights do the work. The black wheels and high wing hide in low light, so shoot the side profile against water, top down. Shoot the tan door panel and the squared wheel close from the driver's seat. These photos were taken on the San Diego bayfront at sunset with the downtown skyline across the water, which is still the frame to take.
Why This One
Red Mist over tan is the pairing, a dark metallic red that goes candy in sun and deep wine in shade, with the tan cabin as the brightest thing in the frame once the hardtop is down. This is the Stingray Convertible, the power hardtop C8, 490 hp with no turbo to wait for. It is based in San Diego at $495 a day and delivers to Orange County and the Inland Empire. If the weekend is about the top down on 101, this is the one.
What's On This One
This is the Stingray Convertible, the power hardtop version of the C8. The top is a 2-piece hardtop that folds under the deck behind the seats, so it looks like a coupe with it up. The 6.2 liter V8 makes 490 hp through the 8-speed dual-clutch, rear-wheel drive, 2 seats. On this car the paint is Red Mist metallic, the wheels are gloss black 5-spoke, and it carries the Z51 high-wing rear spoiler. Inside it is the Natural Dipped tan cabin, tan leather seats with the flag badge stitched into the headrests, tan door panels and center console, a tan stripe at the top of the squared-off wheel, and the C8 button wall running down the driver's right side.
