A Corvette engine is an icon of performance. The new all-aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 engine is no exception. With a top speed of 300 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 4.3 seconds, it's one of the most powerful Corvette engines ever.
Every aspect has been refined to balance power with economy. Capable of 437 hp/321 kW and 575 Nm of torque, the engine also delivers a smooth, fuel-efficient drive. So you can put the top down and chase the sun.
A new 6-speed short-throw manual transmission unleashes Corvette power via its superb shift quality.
Mounted in a transaxle configuration, directly connected to the rear axle, it delivers a near 50/50 weight balance for exceptional control and stability.
There's also an optional 6-speed paddle shift with two automatic modes: ‘Drive’ for ice-smooth shifts, or ‘Sport’ for firmer shifts and enhanced performance.
Corvette’s distinctive curved shape is as much about aerodynamics as it is about style.
The body is made of lightweight composite materials, carefully selected for their fit, finish and durability.
Digital simulations, Corvette racing expertise and more than 400 hours of wind tunnel testing ensure peak performance even when the top is down.
High performance demands high concentration levels. To keep you focused on the road, an optional Head-Up Display projects key gauges like the speedometer, g-force meter, audio and navigation data onto the windshield.
You can even choose between two track modes and a street mode to create your optimal layout.
A key part of performance is control. Corvette’s rack-and-pinion steering has been refined to improve road feel at all speeds. For more grip, it also presents the tire flat to the road when first turning into a corner. Plus, Magnasteer speed sensitive steering offers more assist at lower speeds and firm, precise control on the highway.
With 437 hp and 575 Nm of torque, the new all-aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 engine delivers a top speed of 300 km/h, making it one of the fastest Corvette engines ever.
Use of advanced materials and thorough wind tunnel tests have resulted in a Corvette Convertible that’s lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic.
The new 6-speed manual transmission is mounted in a transaxle configuration, directly connected to the rear axle. This results in a near 50/50 weight balance for improved agility.
The strong yet lightweight convertible top can be lowered at the touch of a button, delivering the sun in seconds.
The latest cluster technology places every control within easy reach, while the Head-Up Display projects key data onto the windshield to improve driver focus.
Speed-compensated volume ensures the exceptional audio quality from the Bose<sup>®</sup> 7-speaker Sound System is maintained even when the top is down.
Fitted as standard across the range, this advanced technology unlocks the doors remotely when your fob is in range and allows you to start the engine at the push of a button.
Along with head and thorax protection as standard, both front airbags can deploy at one of two different rates depending on crash severity.
