Chevrolet

Corvette features everything from an all-new, larger and more powerful V8 engine, to refinements in driving characteristics that solidify the Corvette's position as the preeminent American sports car - and further the argument that it is one of the world's best. There are also a host of exterior and interior refinements that raise the Corvette's luxury status and enhance the feeling of craftsmanship.

The new, 6.2-liter LS3 small-block V8 is the standard engine in Coupe and Convertible models. It is rated at 430 horsepower with the standard exhaust system; with the new, optional two-mode exhaust system, power ratings increase to 436 horses. As a result, the standard Corvette is true supercar, capable of 190 mph. The LS3 with the six-speed paddle-shift automatic is the fastest automatic-equipped Corvette ever, with 0-60 mph capability of 4.3 seconds.

Returning is the Z06 ultra-performance model, which boasts 505 horsepower from its 7.0-liter V8.
