And only a Corvette with the perfect balance of technology, design and performance can wear the iconic Stingray designation.

The Corvette Stingray features an estimated 450 horsepower and 610 Nm of torque, and it is able to accelerate from 0-60 in less than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. This model takes advantage of lightweight materials, advanced manufacturing techniques and technology transfer from the Corvette Racing program to produce an ideal 50/50 weight balance and to deliver a world-class power-to-weight ratio.

The technologically advanced foundation is an all-new aluminum frame structure that is 57 percent stiffer and 45 kg lighter. The greater torsional rigidity reduces unwanted noise and improves ride and handling.
This model features main rails composed of five customized aluminum segments, including aluminum extrusions at each end, a center main rail section and hollow-cast nodes at the suspension interface points. Each segment is tuned - varying in thickness from 2mm to 11mm - tailoring the gauge, shape and strength properties to optimize the requirements for each frame section with minimal weight.

The innovative use of materials includes a standard carbon fiber hood and roof panel, as well as underbody panels created with carbon-nano…
