"08  February 2013: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY: Crowds will be swarming to the Chevrolet exhibit during the ten-day run of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show to be among the first to see the 2014 Corvette on display. Visually stunning, the '14 Corvette's sculptured, aerodynamic two-door hatchback exterior and track-capabilities is worthy of the iconic ""Stingray"" designation. This marks the seventh-generation of ""America's Sport Car,"" and as the C7, goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering. Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with ""Active Rev Match"" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013."
