With its aggressively sculpted exterior and d driver-oriented cockpit, the 2018 Stingray sports car is a beautiful combination of brilliant engineering and purpose-driven design that’s available in both coupe and convertible. From lightweight carbon-nano-fiber components to a 460HP V8 engine with available performance exhaust, every element of the 2018 Stingray makes it the quickest, most powerful, most refined standard Corvette ever made.
Lean materials and efficient new processes forge the light, stiff Stingray space frame, which helps achieve 50-50 weight distribution and impressive power-to-weight ratio. One-third the weight of steel, aluminum improves rigidity, which in turn enhances cornering and handling. Lightweight carbon-nano-composite underbody panels bond to aluminum, further reducing weight for more precise driver control. This revolutionary chassis improves torsional rigidity, reducing noise and elevating performance to an art.
Stingray coupe and convertible share an identical rigid aluminum frame structure. Originally designed as an open-top sports car, no reinforcements were required to create the convertible. No matter which body style you choose, Stingray remains a pure, precision-born machine.
The 2018 Corvette Stingray is engineered to serve the driver. Lighter materials and ingenious technology coalesce to create a precision instrument that reacts perfectly to every human input. Put simply: Stingray does exactly what you tell it to, and does it extremely well.
