As the classic American sports car, the Corvette is power and style personified. It is a great performance value that matches cars costing twice as much. A 6.2L and 7.0L V-8 (Z06 only) is coupled to 6-speed manual or paddle-shift automatic (N/A on Z06). The Z06 has uprated brakes, larger wheels, run-flat tires, and lighter magnesium chassis components. Three suspension calibrations and Active Handling vehicle dynamics control are available.

What Changed:

A ZR1 model rejoins the lineup offering performance above that of the exclusive Z06. The ZR1 is powered by a 620hp supercharged 6.2L V8. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. Larger brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires (P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear) are unique to the ZR1. Carbon fiber is used extensively in the hood, roof and rocker panels. The ZR1 differs visually from other Corvettes with a distinct hood, side ducts, rocker panels, spoiler, and wheels. A new instrument cluster features a boost gauge.
