To know her is to love her.
It takes just one look for you to fall head over wheels in love with this iconic sports vehicle. Its front-engine rear-drive platform and unmistakable design help distinguish itself from any other sports car.
Who is she? The Chevrolet Corvette.
Design
For seven generations you have either known her or have been in awe of her. The Chevrolet Corvette shines on her own accord with a pinch of attitude, a slice of sass and a side order of boldness that elevated her superstar status over the years and separates her into a league all her own.
The Corvette's exterior has smooth angular lines that turn heads, a sharp silhouette that leaves a lasting impression and a wide grille that will only have you smiling in return.
Under its hood, the Corvette stands out, with maximum airflow combining a delicate balance of hot and cold air to flow evenly throughout its body as it feeds into its engine bay. This airflow is what ensures that the brakes run cool even in extreme situations.
The low stance of the Corvette enables a proper downforce allowing atmospheric air to slip through the upper reaches of the body for a drive that is more precise.
Her look is daring, almost enticing you to rev the engine and peel away, that is of course if you can stop staring.
Interior and Technology
The interior of the Corvette is as artful as you imagined. From its intrinsic instruments, heated and vented seats and driver-adapted cockpit; your experience with the Corvette is never left in the dust like it does its competitors.
Using top-notch materials the Corvette's interior balances out its rugged exterior and provides comfort with seats designed to lock you in.
Its instrumentation panel is customizable with the inclusion of the Driver's Information Center, where crucial information is placed directly in plain view without posing as a distraction.
The technology within the Corvette continues with the MyLink touchscreen, which makes connecting you with your Corvette easier. If you are more analytical and would love to see driving data from the track or on the road, the Performance Data Recorder inside your Corvette compiles every bit of information for you to review or share the information on your TV.
The new Corvette takes your need for technology even further with adding OnStar 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, enabling you to connect wirelessly, and yes, this includes your driving data.
OnStar is also on-hand to assist in case of an accident or theft of your Corvette and is available twenty-four hours a day. It too can provide your 'need for speed' directions to any destination.
Connecting your smartphone with your Corvette is easier than ever before. The Remotelink app will allow you to control your Corvette near and far and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity will have you synced with your Corvette in a matter of minutes.
