Proven In The Crucible Of Competition

Corvette has been challenging Europe’s finest on the track since the first Corvette racers took to the Sebring road course back in March of 1956. The Corvette testing and development process also involves testing production models in race-like conditions, including grueling 24-hour validation tests at a variety of race tracks. The discipline of racing continues to make road-going Corvettes safer, faster, more powerful and more agile than their predecessors.

Corvette Coupe And Convertible:
The Essential Sports Cars

With a 430 hp LS3 V8 under the hood, a choice of precise manual or automatic 6-speed transmissions,
a competition-proven four-wheel independent suspension and that dramatic, unmistakable profile, Corvette Coupe and Convertible are 100% pure sports car. They're also engineered with an eye for efficiency. Test track top speed is in excess of 300 km/h, yet Corvette Coupe and Convertible use just 7.7 litres of fuel per hundred kilometres of highway driving.** Corvette Convertible offers an available power top that raises and lowers in just 18 seconds.

Grand Sport: Performance And Efficiency

Grand Sport models combine the premium sports-car engineering of Corvette Coupe and Convertible with the track-oriented suspension and braking componentry of Z06. How does it work? In the 2010 Car and Driver Lightning Lap, a Grand Sport Coupe lapped faster than the Audi R8 V10 and the Porsche 911 Carrera S and finished 3rd overall out of 22 street-legal entries. On the test track, Grand Sport Coupe delivers 1g of lateral acceleration and can go from 0 to 96 km/h in less than four seconds. Yet it consumes just 12.9 litres of fuel per hundred kilometres in the city and a mere 7.7 litres per hundred kilometres on the highway.** That's what engineers call bandwidth.

Z06: The Track-Day Favourite

Co-developed with the Le Mans-winning Corvette race car, the lightweight, fixed-roof Z06 is the ideal Corvette for a day at the track. There's a 505 hp 7.0LV8 under the hood and strong but light materials like aluminum, magnesium and carbon fibre abound. For 2011, Corvette Z06 ups the performance ante yet again, with available equipment packages that include some of the most serious technology from the range-topping ZR1 supercar, Brembo^® carbon ceramic brakes, Magnetic Selective Ride Control^®,
a body-colour carbon-fibre hood and roof panel: it's all there for the taking.

ZR1: The Ultimate

A true high-tech supercar, the 638 hp ZR1 is the fastest, most powerful Chevrolet production car of all time. It's also the overall winner of the 2010 Car and Driver Lightning Lap competition, in which the world's best sports cars raced for fastest lap at Virginia International Raceway. In addition, the ZR1 is one of the world's fastest production cars around the 20.8 km Nordschleife course at the Nürburgring in Germany, with a lap time of 7:26.4 on stock street tires. Included with your ZR1 is the ultimate experience of learning performance driving. Tuition is paid for at your choice of Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving near Phoenix or the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain near Las Vegas.^†
