TOP DESIGN
Corvette Stingray Convertible utilizes an all-new fully electronic top with a smooth and clean appearance. When the top is stowed, it is completely closed out (no mechanisms are visible) behind a hard tonneau cover that takes on the exterior appearance of the rest of the vehicle, incorporating full design integration (some competitors utilize a soft boot or a hard plastic molding). Four convertible top colors are available depending on the exterior color of the vehicle: Black, Gray, Kalahari and Blue. The top can even be lowered or raised remotely (up to 195 feet away) with the key fob.

PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGY CARRY OVER
All of the performance technology and capabilities introduced on the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe carry over to the convertible including the more rigid aluminum frame structure, which is 57 percent stiffer and 99 pounds lighter than the current Corvette steel frame. The structural changes are limited to those necessary to accommodate the folding top and repositioned safety belt mounts. As no chassis reinforcements are required for the convertible, both models will share almost identical power-to-weight ratios.

ALL-NEW CUTTING-EDGE FRAMEWORK
The 2014 Corvette Stingray utilizes an all-aluminum frame assembly that’s 99 pounds lighter and 57 percent stiffer than the previous Corvette frame. Numerous chassis components have been updated and advanced to help increase performance characteristics and adjust to different driving conditions. Drivers will have a solid feel and experience no extraneous motion around the sports car when traveling down the road or around a track.

NEW LT1 SMALL BLOCK V8 ENGINE
A race-proven 6.2L V8 will power the 2014 Corvette Stingray, making it the most powerful standard Corvette ever (GM-estimated 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque), the quickest standard Corvette ever (estimated 0-60 mph of less than 4 seconds) and the most fuel-efficient Corvette ever (estimated by GM to exceed the 2013 EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway.) This technological powerhouse integrates a suite of advanced technologies that can only be found in a handful of engines around the world — Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management™ and Continuously Variable Valve Timing to support an advanced combustion system. The 2014 Corvette Stingray will be the most fuel-efficient car on the market to offer 450 horsepower and achieve 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds (GM estimates). It also provides more torque than Porsche 911 (325 lb.-ft.) and Ferrari 458 (398 lb.-ft.)

7-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH ACTIVE REV MATCHING
The LT1 engine of the 2014 Corvette Stingray is mated to a new 7-speed manual transmission that offers improved performance and fuel economy. It's also equipped with Active Rev Matching, a feature that provides smooth shifting by using throttle "blips." In most manuals, a smooth downshift requires a "blip" of the throttle to match the engine rpm with the speed of the lower gear. Shifting during braking requires the one-foot, two-pedal technique known as heel-and-toeing - your right foot "blips" the throttle while at the same time pushing the brake pedal. With Active Rev Matching, there is no need to perform these techniques during upshifts or downshifts. The result is increased enthusiasm and confidence during performance driving. Active Rev Matching can be toggled on and off using the steering wheel paddles.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system on the 2014 Corvette Stingray provides the best steering feel for all driving situations. It incorporates "smooth road shake prevention" that can sense when the driver is experiencing "excitation" and prevents that force from transmitting back through the wheel (known as steering wheel shake). The system also prevents steering pull and increases or decreases the amount of assist needed depending on the steering wheel angle — all seamlessly for the driver.

POWER TILT AND TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
The 2014 Corvette Stingray will incorporate a standard four-way power tilt and telescoping steering column. This switch-operated system easily helps the driver find the right level of driving comfort (many competitors offer only a manual system.) The steering wheel will be unique to Corvette Stingray and offer a dynamic impact and driving feel (with a 360-millimeter diameter).

DRIVER MODE SELECTOR
The new five-position Driver Mode Selector allows drivers to quickly and easily adjust the performance abilities of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The primary control near the shifter on the console makes the system easy to use and understand. The selector controls up to 12 performance variables that would be too difficult to control with conventional buttons, levers or screen menus, including: Gauge cluster configuration, Electronic Throttle Control, paddle-shift automatic transmission, Active Fuel Management, exhaust, electronic limited slip differential, steering effort or feel, Magnetic Ride Control, launch control, active handling, traction control and Performance Traction Management. Each Driver Mode is optimized for a particular driving condition:

ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (ELSD)
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential (ELSD) is included with the Z51 Performance Package and helps the driver optimize the torque split between the wheels in all situations. On the track, the system can sense when you have wheel slip and automatically prepare the real axle for corner entry. ELSD works to keep Corvette Stingray in the right driving line whether it's on a track, a road or a wet surface.

BREMBO® BRAKES
Brembo brakes, with four-piston calipers at all four corners, help optimize braking force. On the track, drivers will experience less fade, improved modulation and reduced drag.

Z51 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
The Z51 Performance Package will be offered as the top performance Stingray. This package includes larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, dry sump oil system, ELSD, larger front brakes (13.6 inch vs. 12.6 inch) with black calipers, specific shocks, springs and stabilizer bars, differential and transmission cooling, as well as a unique Aero Package that reduces lift for high-speed stability. Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Performance Traction Management are available. In addition, the Michelin Pilot® Super Sport® ZP tires on the Z51 Performance Package are unique and aggressively tuned to provide outstanding handling, grip and road-holding capability.

AVAILABLE MAGNETIC SELECTIVE RIDE CONTROL
The 2014 Corvette Stingray will incorporate the world's fastest-acting suspension with available Generation 3 Magnetic Selective Ride Control. This real-time damping system delivers precise body motion control, "reading" the road every millisecond and changes damping in just 10-15 milliseconds.

EXTERIOR COLORS
Corvette Stingray will be offered in Arctic White, Black, Blade Silver, Crystal Red, Cyber Gray, Laguna Blue, Lime Rock Green, Night Race Blue, Torch Red and Velocity Yellow. (Some colors will carry an extra cost.)
