Chevrolet Corvette 2014 UAE Prices & Specs

The all-new Chevrolet Corvette debuted as a 2014 model year. It features a new LT1 V8 engine, but still has the same 6.2-litre displacement. Power has gone up however, with the new Corvette Stingray producing more horsepower and torque. More interesting is the 7-speed manual transmission it has, with rev-matching technology. For customers who don't like the third pedal, there is a 6-speed automatic transmission, the same gearbox as the previous generation, but tweaked with different internals for better performance. A new electric power steering system and cylinder deactivation help to improve fuel economy, said to be now less than the previous generation. There is a Drive Mode Selector which has 5 settings Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. Looking at the exterior, we see some similar design elements from other brands such as the new 2013 SRT Viper from the front, the vents and windows of a Nissan GT-R on the side, and rear fender-top vents like that of a Ferrari 458 Italia. The rear still incorporates the trademark four-lamp design, however it looks more like a modified design from the Chevrolet Camaro. The four exhaust tips lined up together is one of those things you either love or hate. The interior is where they have made some much-needed improvements. The designers made sure they cover as much of the interior as possible with soft-touch materials. It features a more driver-focused cockpit and a smaller steering wheel. New seats with more bolstering have been added. A Z51 package adds more sporting suspension as well as extra trim such as a rear spoiler. Safety features include front and side airbags, ESP, ABS and seat-belt pretensioners.
