In the interior part, the brand-new cockpit layout gives consideration to the sense of technology and luxury while creating enough fighting atmosphere. The reserved physical keys also improve the convenience of use.

The transmission system matches Chevrolet's first 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the dry oil pan system is used for the first time. The Z51 performance model can accelerate from standstill to 96 km/h in 3 seconds, making it the fastest and most powerful entry-level Corvette in history.
Chevrolet Corvette has launched seven generations of different models since its birth in 1953. The new generation of Corvette Stingray entry-level models launched in the world still continues Corvette's tradition of super high cost performance. On the basis of high configuration, the starting price will be less than 6, US dollars, equivalent to about 412,4 yuan. The new car will be officially put into production at the end of the year, and there will be higher-performance models in the future to meet the needs of more consumers.
this generation pays more attention to the aerodynamic design of the car body. The rear spoiler with a broken line design and a huge lower diffuser are arranged at the rear of the new car, which has a very rigid visual effect with the square exhaust on both sides.
