GM Releases Pricing for 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe and Convertible
Base price for the coupe is $51,995 including
destination fee and $56,995 for the convertible
model, an increase of $1,400 for both over the
outgoing 2013. The standard package for the
next-generation Corvette carries many
improvements over the sixth-generation and
Chris Perry, Vice President of Chevrolet
Marketing, certainly sounds proud of it. “The
Corvette Stingray delivers a combination of
performance, design and technology that very few
manufacturers can match, and none can even
come close for $52,000.”
For the buyer looking to get in on the ground floor with the standard package, features will include a 6.2
liter LT1 V-8 engine with direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing,
and an advanced combustion system. The new seven-speed manual transmission features Active Rev
Matching that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. The
aluminum frame is 99 pounds lighter and 57-percent stiffer than the previous model’s structure.
Both the coupe and convertible will include carbon fiber hoods, with a carbon fiber removable roof panel
on the coupe. The all-new, fully electronic top on the convertible can be lowered remotely using the key
fob. Smooth jazz and 1970’s classic rock alike will be pumped through a Bose nine-speaker audio system
with SiriusXM Satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, SD card, and auxiliary input jacks. Seating
includes eight-way power adjustment and lightweight magnesium frames for exceptional support. A fiveposition
Drive Mode Selector tailors up to 12 vehicle attributes to fit the driver’s environment. Dual
eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens include the next-generation MyLink infotainment
system and a rear vision camera.
All of the standard features offered in the base models are sure to get Corvette buyers in the door, but
with the list of add-on features available, it will cost a little more to achieve dream-package level. For
example, the Stingray coupe shown at the North American International Auto Show was fitted with the
major available options, and would come in at a price of $73,360. Included in the showpiece is the 3LT
interior package which has a Bose 10-speaker surround-sound audio system, SiriusXM Satellite radio
with one-year subscription and HD radio receiver, color head-up display, memory package, navigation
system, heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar and bolster adjustment, premium Napa leather
seating surfaces, and leather-wrapped dash and instrument panel, console and door panels.
In addition, they’ve tacked on the Z51 Performance Package with high-performance gear ratios,
transmission cooling system, larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels and tires, larger slotted rotors
and brake-cooling ducts, electronic limited-slip differential and differential cooling system, unique
chassis tuning, and available Magnetic Ride Control active-handling system with Performance Traction
Management. The coupe is completed with competition sports seats, an exposed-carbon-fiber roof panel,
dual-mode exhaust system, carbon fiber interior trim, sueded microfiber-wrapped upper interior trim,
red painted calipers and black painted wheels.
