GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Chevrolet reveals Corvette convertible
First official images of Chevrolet's all-new Corvette Stingray convertible surfaceChevrolet has circulated the first two official images of the new Corvette Stingray convertible that it confirmed for production three weeks ago.
Due to make its world premiere at this week’s Geneva motor show, the new-generation Corvette convertible appears virtually identical to the scale model that emerged in January.
No technical details have been announced, but – apart from its folding fabric roof - the new soft-top supercar also appears to be faithful to the seventh-generation Corvette coupe first revealed at Detroit in January.
That means it should be powered by the same new 335kW/610Nm 6.2-litre V8 engine as the hard-top, which is claimed to sprint to 100km/h in less than four seconds, although recent reports suggest a less powerful version that drops the Stingray name will also become available.
As we’ve reported, General Motors says it has no plans to produce a right-hand drive version of the Mk7 Corvette, so importing and converting a vehicle will be the only option for enthusiasts in Australia.
This is despite the fact the design of the Mk7 Corvette was overseen by Australian Mike Simcoe in his capacity as head of North American design for GM, before he returned to Australia to take up his current role as Executive Director of Design for GM International Operations.
Alongside the global premiere of the Corvette Stingray convertible on the Chevrolet stand in Geneva will be European debuts of the brand’s Corvette Stingray coupe, Spark EV, facelifted Captiva and Hot Wheels-edition Camaro.
