ENEMY OF THE SAME The Corvette Stingray 2014
A BEAUTIFUL WEAPONThe Stingray is designed on purpose. Low, light and lean. Provocative, purposeful and sculpted for optimal performance. A beautiful weapon against convention.
DESIGN MUST PERFORM AERODYNAMICS
The benchmark of aerodynamic prowess. Functional exterior vents create a totally new breathing experience to reduce lift and minimize drag. Increased downforce keeps the car planted. Advanced ventilation systems
flow from front to back, cooling critical components of a perfectly balanced powertrain. Efficient airflow controls temperatures and improves vehicle handling. Stunning design meets racing strategy.
HOOD EXTRACTOR
This is no bottom breather. A functional hood extractor directs hot air from the front grille up and out of the engine compartment. Each blade is precisely angled for optimal airflow. The result is reduced front-end lift, increased downforce and improved handling at high speeds.
BRAKE COOLING
The Z51 Performance Package includes dual brake
ducts to transport air from the front grille through the wheelwells to effectively cool front brakes and expel heat. Efficient airflow controls temperature, reduces brake fade and optimizes stopping performance.
Dual rear quarter panel intake vents guide airflow to cool two separate heat exchangers. One routes air to the transmission oil cooler. The other cools the rear differential. Hot air escapes through tailored rear taillamp vents and lower-rear fascia outlets. A system adapted from Corvette Racing to reduce temperatures during high-performance driving.
DESIGNED ON PURPOSE EXTERIOR
Unprecedented collaboration achieves sculptural, capable styling for the Stingray. Surfaces feel streamlined. Geometric shapes transition smoothly from soft to crisp edge. A carbon-fiber-crafted hood and removable roof help
lower the center of gravity and enhance weight balance. Air flows effortlessly to reduce drag and optimize performance. Executed with beauty and proportion, every millimeter serves its purpose.
Performance driving is experienced from the interior. Perfection is critical. Every line, every stitch and every accent must honor craftsmanship — and serve the driver.
TRUTH IN MATERIAL
MATERIALS
An honest interior starts with authentic materials. This is no exception. If it looks like aluminum, it is aluminum. If it looks like carbon-fiber, it is carbon-fiber.
When it’s leather, it’s Grade A leather — hand-selected, stitched and crafted
to adorn a new generation.

LEATHER
Available Napa leather is a testament to an honest, crafted interior. Free from imperfections. Scoured for quality and soft to the touch. A smooth, natural grain dismisses common synthetic textures. An available hand-stretched, leather-wrapped instrument panel is swathed and sewn to meticulous fit and finish.

STITCHING
Every stitch speaks to pure craftsmanship. An unprecedented manufacturing process enables precision stitching to embellish the interior. A sweeping freeform deco line spans the instrument panel and flawlessly carries over into the door trim and console. In every stitch, there is intention.
Genuine, lightweight aluminum accents adorn the doors, pedals, shifter and cockpit instrumentation of Stingray. It lends a subtle gleam to the new signature interior — without adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle.
IMACHINED FOR PRECISION
Methodically constructed to be the lightest and stiffest to date, the Stingray aluminum space frame demands an evolutionary approach to precision engineering.

PRECISION MAKES THE MACHINE
FOUNDATION
Lean materials and efficient new processes forge a light, stiff space frame. Aluminum replaces steel. Lightweight Carbon-Nano Composite structure underbody panels bond to aluminum. A revolutionary chassis improves torsional rigidity, reduces noise and elevates performance. A precision-born machine.

ALUMINUM SPACE FRAME
One-third the weight of steel, an aluminum space frame changes everything. Improved rigidity enhances cornering performance and handling. Segmented aluminum rails enable tailored gauge, shape and strength properties with minimal weight. Fifty-seven percent stiffer and 45 kilograms (99 lbs.) lighter than its predecessor, the Stingray emerges lightweight, quiet and confident.
JOINING PROCESSES
Intelligent bonds forge a precision aluminum space frame. Subassembly laser welds eliminate heat distortion to execute smooth, localized joins. Robust patented spot weld technology efficiently bonds sheet aluminum. Crash-toughened adhesive enables one of the most rigid aluminum joining methods available, complemented by innovative Flow Drill Screws that extrude, form and tap threads simultaneously for maximum engagement and holding power. Strategic execution of cool joining processes minimizes inconsistencies and maximizes bond strength.
