21:30 video starts of the unveiling.
I like it actually…
Looks good! The back is a little ugly, but the rest of the car is sweet. I can’t wait to see the performance numbers.
Nice dodge viper.
Err.
Nice Ferrari 458.
Errrr…
Nice car!
Not bad company to keep!
looks promising, finally some technology in the motor
and lol at the 7th gear… basically there to make the gas standards for the epa
Cheaply made ferarri look a like. I guarantee it will be as flimsy as the rest.
I can’t wait to see if they make a ZR1 version to rape the ferraris and vipers as it used to.

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. Highlights include:
An interior that includes real carbon fiber, aluminum and hand-wrapped leather materials, two new seat choices – each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame for exceptional support – and dual eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens
Advanced driver technologies, including a five-position Drive Mode Selector that tailors 12 vehicle attributes to the fit the driver’s environment and a new seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time
An all-new 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine combines advanced technologies, including direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing and an advanced combustion system that delivers more power while using less fuel
Lightweight materials, including a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels; carbon-nano composite underbody panels and a new aluminum frame help shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance that supports a world-class power-to-weight ratio
A sculptured exterior features advanced high-intensity discharge and light-emitting diode lighting and racing-proven aerodynamics that balance low drag for efficiency and performance elements for improved stability and track capability
Track-capable Z51 Performance Package including: an electronic limited-slip differential, dry-sump oiling system, integral brake, differential and transmission cooling, as well as a unique aero package that further improves high-speed stability.
“Stingray is one of the hallowed names in automotive history,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice president of global design. “We knew we couldn’t use the Stingray name unless the new car truly lived up to the legacy. The result is a new Corvette Stingray that breaks from tradition, while remaining instantly recognizable as a Corvette the world over.”
The new Corvette Stingray will be built at GM’s Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant, which underwent a $131-million upgrade, including approximately $52 million for a new body shop to manufacture the aluminum frame in-house for the first time.
“We believe the Corvette represents the future of modern performance cars because it delivers more power, more driving excitement and better fuel efficiency,” said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. “The result is better performance by every measure. The 2014 Corvette delivers the fastest acceleration, the most cornering grip, the most track capability, the best braking performance and what we expect to be the best fuel economy ever for a standard Corvette.”
The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe goes on sale in the third quarter of 2013.

i like it!

When did it rape Ferraris and Vipers? Same for vice versa, they all are pretty close to one another

Also 7 speed manual, seems like a lot of shifting, six is enough IMO
:cjerk:
Yea but mpg and the environment…
Exactly my point.
Hate the camaro ish rear end
I think it looks awesome! I might have to of the current car and upgrade…
Looks like a stretched Lotus to me. I don’t hate it.
looks like gm is running low on ideas? new camaro looks similar in the back
I like the look but I hate the 7 speed gear box.
Well until anyone on here drives it or a 7 speed manual car for that matter, don’t hate. I’d love to try it out, but first impression of the unknown makes me believe it’s a lot of extra work.
I cant see it being that much extra work. I mean, obviously it is more work since its 1 more gear to go into. But - its just a cruising gear for EPA. there if you need it/want it but its not like the car will shut down if you dont shift into it.
