2014 Pristine Corvette Z51 LT3

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Description

Chevrolet's iconic sports car, the Corvette, has been redesigned for the 2014 model year. With the launch of the seventh-generation version the Stingray name returns, and the car is powered by a new 6.2-liter V-8 engine that makes an estimated 450 horsepower. The 2014 Corvette hits dealerships in the third quarter of 2013, and competitors include the Ford Shelby GT500 and Nissan GT-R.

ExteriorThe 2014 Corvette forgoes some of the car's traditional design cues and in the process attains a more muscular, modern look. The car's new face is reminiscent of another great American sports car: the all-new SRT Viper. From the exposed headlights, which include sleek LED accents, to the gaping lower grille, there's more than a passing resemblance to the reborn Viper. While the Viper has a hulking look to it, the Corvette's lines give the design a sharp precision — especially the body sides with their defined rocker creases and shoulder lines. With the reintroduction of the Stingray name to the car, there's also a Stingray badge aft of the front fender vents.
The car's rear styling represents a big departure from the past, with a design that ditches the circular taillights that have been used on Corvettes for years in favor of a more rectangular style that's vaguely similar to the current Camaro's. The new taillights combine with a tall rear diffuser that eliminates some of the slab-sidedness for which late-model Corvettes have been known. Familiar quad exhaust tips round out the tail. Exterior features include:

• Hood and removable roof panel made of carbon fiber
• High-intensity-discharge headlights with LED accents
• LED taillights
• Functional hood vent
• 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels (19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with Z51 Performance Package)
