Corvette coupe has carved a permanent niche into the global automotive landscape, defining freedom and state-of-the-art technology. It boasts a standard 430-hp LS3 aluminum block V8 good for 190 mph on the test track. A standard removable roof panel can be stowed in seconds for open-air driving. Engage the road with a standard short-throw six-speed transmission with launch control or an available six-speed paddle shift automatic for precise, clutchless shifting without ever taking your hands off the wheel. Get the exhilaration of an open-air convertible with the standard removable roof panel. It’s easy to handle and stores conveniently in the rear cargo area. A transparent roof panel is also available. Or you can order an available Dual Roof Package with both solid and transparent roofs. The available Magnetic Selective Ride Control, available on select models, stiffens suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city driving and freeways. Here’s how it works. An electromagnetic coil resides inside each damper piston. When an electrical current is applied – variably controlled by a microprocessor – ferrous particles in the shock fluid instantly bond, making the fluid more flow resistant, effectively stiffening the shock’s damping. Conversely, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows more freely, allowing easier suspension movement. There are two cockpit settings: “Tour” and “Sport.” This option also includes larger, crossed-drilled brake rotors.
