Factor in that dramatic, unmistakable Corvette styling, razor-sharp handling, and some of the most advanced engineering in the sports car world and you've got something unique.

   A new, 6.2 liter LS3 small-block V-8 is the standard engine in Coupe and Convertible models. It is rated at 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque with the standard exhaust system. The LS3 with the six-speed paddle-shift automatic is the fastest automatic-equipped Corvette ever, with 0-60 mph capability in 4.3 seconds.

Dramatic fender forms and exposed headlamps combine with the grille to create a strong visual identity for the Corvette, while the tapered rear deck and fascia improve high-speed performance. Corvette’s interior is inspired by the car’s dual-cockpit heritage. High-quality materials, craftsmanship and functionality help deliver premium quality and enhance performance driving. The instrument panel and doors are covered in cast-skin foam trimmings, and look as if they are wrapped in leather and padded. This trim has double the life of conventional trim materials.
