Return of the Stingray: The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
DETROIT –
Chevrolet is redefining modern performance with today’s debut of the all-new
Corvette Stingray. And only a Corvette with the perfect balance of technology,
design and performance can wear the iconic Stingray designation.
The 2014
Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever, with an estimated
450 horsepower (335 kW) and 450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 Nm). It is also the most
capable standard model ever, able to accelerate from 0-60 in less than four
seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. It is expected to be the
most fuel-efficient Corvette, exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 mpg of the current
model.
“Like the ’63 Sting Ray, the best Corvettes embodied performance
leadership, delivering cutting-edge technologies, breathtaking design and
awe-inspiring driving experiences,” said General Motors North America President
Mark Reuss. “The all-new Corvette goes farther than ever, thanks to today’s
advancements in design, technology and engineering.”
The all-new Corvette Stingray shares only two parts with the previous generation Corvette.
It incorporates an all-new frame structure and chassis, a new powertrain and
supporting technologies, as well as completely new exterior and interior
designs.
