The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
2014 marked the dawn of a new era with the introduction of the seventh-generation Corvette, the C7. Chevrolet revived the iconic Stingray nameplate for the first time since the legendary 1963-1967 second-generation Corvettes, signaling that the all-new C7 represented a complete redesign from the ground up. The 2014 Stingray featured revolutionary design with a sculpted exterior, advanced technology, and world-class performance. The all-new aluminum frame structure combined with the new 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine producing 450-460 horsepower delivered exceptional performance with 0-60 acceleration in under 4 seconds. The interior featured real carbon fiber, aluminum trim, hand-wrapped leather, and dual configurable screens. Advanced technologies included the Driver Mode Selector with five modes (Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track), direct-injection engine, Active Fuel Management, and a revolutionary seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching. The 2014 model year saw an estimated 37,562 Corvettes produced as customers embraced the new generation's blend of cutting-edge design, technology, and accessible performance. The Stingray's return marked Corvette's establishment as a true world-class sports car capable of competing with the finest performance vehicles on the planet.
