Corvette Stingray 2014 Hits Dealerships, Completely Redesigned

Chevrolet’s 2014 Corvette Stingray recently began arriving in dealerships and promises a near-complete redesign of the previous model.

The new Corvette boasts an improved V-8 engine that’s more powerful than the predecessor and more fuel-efficient. For the standard model: The Stingray's exterior has an aluminum frame and a carbon-fiber hood. On the inside, the latest model shows off its seven-speed manual transmission and an 8-inch color touchscreen that can access ChevyMyLink and Bluetooth phone and audio. There’s also keyless entry and start.

The more one’s willing to pay for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, the more feature-heavy packages can be purchased. The Z51 Performance package comes with 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels, and upgraded suspension. Meanwhile, the $4,210 ZLT package comes with lumbar for the seats, power heated rearview mirrors and a 10-speaker Bose stereo system among other niceties.

As GM’s primary sports car, the 61-year-old Corvette, competes against luxury brand sports cars such as Porsche Boxters. The Corvette has also found worthy competition against Ford’s Mustang, which keeps a relatively classic look to pair with the more modern automotive technology. With the redesign, car experts anticipate that the 2014 Corvette Stingray will appeal to a broader and younger clientele, consequently boosting their sales.
