I am Kelsey Mays for cars dot com this is the car you've been waiting for
probably
the reason that you come to watch all of our 2013 Detroit auto show coverage
the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette reimagined
redesigned seventh generation at Chevys icon
the Corvette actually takes the Stingray moniker now
celebrating the Corvette have 1963 to nineteen
67 same we're gonna take a closer look at what differentiates this
from the sixth generation Corvette very dramatic restyling in fact several a
says
that just two parts are shared between this Corvette
and its predecessor are you look up your the headlights have car
LED on implements up there the
could the and the roofer actually carbon fiber it's a standard feature
on this generation Corvette lowers wat especially up top here
to keep the weight distribution toward the bottom part in the car which should
improve handling up Jeffrey says
all love these vents that you see on the Corvette are functional
heat extraction hear from the engine again over here on the side as you come
around to the back here
up this that right here funnels air into the rear differential
when it comes out here in these areas at the very end to the car
now as you look at the end this is probably the most dramatic
redesigned element up the Corvette you've got very bold looking taillights
the
traditional Corvette quad exhaust have been moved in the center now
your Corvette at more of a traditional look this one
definitely not it's gonna it's gonna make a big impression on you
as it's driving away versus the last
base Corvette wheelbase is about it inch overall like about two and a half inches
the car sits about a half inch lower but most importantly
overall with is up almost internet happen facts only about two inches short
at the outgoing party 06 which had a wider track
if you want there's a Corvette z51 Performance Package
which adds things like dry sump oil
pump it's got and electronic limited slip rear differential it's got enhanced
aerodynamics
it's got additional cooling systems for the transmission
for the oil stuff like that should really even take the Corvette no
intention to the next level
big interior upgrade you can see there's a lot of upholstery rap services around
years
two types ac2 there's a GTC which is what you're seeing
that's got a magnesium frame in if you really want to take the car the track
a Chevy makes a competition sport see with even more
bolstering a couple standard features there's a standard
my link to system the second generation uva GM's my link system
I occupies the center part of the dashboard got a large screen there's
also
an LCD screen between analog gauges line for the steering wheel
which allows you to a look at a lot of different things there as well
is also a Chevy calls a competition sport seats got even higher bolsters
their flight a car
to the track under the hood is a newbie aidid still push rod 6.2 liter but it's
got a bunch of new technologies
things like cylinder deactivation improve fuel economy
a direct fuel injection variable valve timing a lot of firsts for the Corvette
450 horsepower 450 pound-feet of torque drives the rear wheels
and gets the car from zero to 60 in less than four seconds
Chevrolet says how to do that well goes through a six-speed
automatic with paddle shifters or first-ever a seven-speed
manual transmission now that makes
Chevrolet the second render such portion offer seven-speed manual and in a
Corvette
it Rev matches for you much like the manual transmissions in a Nissan see
or a BMW m5 you downshift it automatically kicks up the revs
that makes it a lot easier to do that kinda cool but it's now in the Corvette
was the first to the seventh-generation Corvette sand
most likely there will be other additions like convertible 06 other
high-performance cars
coming out a afterwards this is the first one
comes out this fall so stay tuned for more
