Open air driving in a 400-bhp package.

Overview Information

As the classic American sports car, the Corvette is power and style personified. This is the fastest convertible in its class, and is a great performance value. The standard 6.2L V-8 coupled to a 6-speed manual or automatic, provides unmatched power in its segment. Three suspension options allow the driver to choose their preferred handling and ride preferences. Active Handling stability control is optional. Goodyear EMT run-flat tires are standard. An power-operated top is optional.

What Changed:

The Corvette receives an all-new LS3 6.2L V-8 engine rated at 430 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. An optional dual mode exhaust upgrade improves the output by 6 hp and 4 lb-ft of torque. The manual transmission has been reworked to improve shift effort. The automatic has improved shift times with the paddle shifter. The appearance is virtually unchanged with the exception of some new exterior and interior color choices.
