Here it is the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

After years of planning, designing and engineering, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray made its stunning debut tonight in Detroit. For those who appreciate the past, but look forward to the future, this is your Corvette Stingray – a finely tuned trifecta of technology, design and performance. A new Corvette worthy of the Stingray’s name and heritage.

This is the most powerful standard Corvette ever conceived. With an estimated 450 hp, 450 lb.-ft of torque from its new generation 5 LT1 V8, it surpasses the C6′s base Corvette and the Grand Sport with specs like 0-60 in under 4 seconds, 1G cornering and a 60-0 stopping distance that’s comparable to the Z06. The new engine develops 50 lb-ft. more low-end torque, matching the C6′s LS7 V8 from 1,000-4,000 RPMs. Race-proven aerodynamics will ensure the new Stingray cuts through the air while the breakthrough fuel saving technologies are expected to make this the most fuel efficient Corvette ever.

The new Corvette Stingray features a seven-speed TREMEC manual transmission with Active Rev Matching. Exclusive to Corvette, Active Rev Matching ensures the perfect shifts whether you’re up-shifting or down-shifting. Also available is a six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission which has been optimized for the new car. Both transmissions will use Active Fuel Management (AFM), another first for manual transmissions. And for you automatic lovers, Launch Control is now available too!

Performance junkies will flock to the Stingray’s new optional Z51 package that offers an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD), dry sump oil system, integral brake, differential and transmission cooling as well as a unique aero package for high speed stability.

Two new active exhaust systems which are less restrictive than the previous model are available on the new Stingray. The four exhaust ports feature a larger 2.75 inch diameter openings than the 2.5 inch openings on the C6. Both have butterfly valves that open for enhanced performance and sound. The standard system has a 13% improvement in airflow while the optional dual-mode system offers a 27% improvement in airflow.

 The new Corvette will come standard with Brembo Brakes and 18/19″ wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport run-flat tires. Both brakes and tires are upgraded when the Z51 package is ordered for even more performance.
