New vents on the hood reduce the lift of the front end and Improve thermal engine . The remains of the old one: eight cylinders, 6.2 liters , 432 hp with six -speed manual transmission . In the optional automatic version with sequential manual shift mode , the engine Operates with the power of 405 horses . No cheap plastic more , this clean stitched leather, carbon- attractive surfaces and precise tolerances . You have , not least through the influence of the former development consultant Bob Lutz , learned a lot , the Americans.
Believe it or not : The Corvette has become truly premium . Proven remained. About the generous interior space and huge for a two-seater sports car boot. The seats can be adjusted electrically to each figure , the cockpit shows the strict dichotomy , which is considered the Corvette feature for decades. Before the driver a dashboard in modern screen technology on which can be called different representations of the tachometer . Very classic racer or standard with integrated indicator bar to display the switching time.
Corvette connoisseurs know that you formerly could make his Vette with the correct check mark on the purchase agreement itself - as a comfortable cruiser or a leg hard, hissing powerhouse. Modern electronics makes sure that everything in just one car is possible today . With just a few clicks in the configuration menu . The mode "tour" makes the Corvette to travel comfortably sprung sports car. " Weather " dampens the response of snow and ice. " Sport" is for people who like to play on the long leash ESP.
And "Track " for runway robbers who want to dispense entirely with electronic shackles. Finally, "Eco" . Since the Corvette switched between times from four of its eight cylinders . So far, the Corvette developers have since not familiar range - because of the V8 sounds. But the cylinder shutoff engages in any case only the cozy roles , while the engine is so quiet that the difference between four and eight cylinders is hard to hear . But to feel at the gas station . The latest edition of the famous small-block V8 is a fuel consumption of only about nine liters. And that is a word with 6.2 liter displacement and 450 hp.
A significant proportion of the new efficiency also has direct fuel injection , mitfährt the first time in a Corvette . Thus, the small-block is a thoroughly modern engine , even if its technical characteristics - only one camshaft , two valves per cylinder - leave some tech geeks turn up their nose. But the Corvette engine is for the most compact and lightest eight-cylinder engine in its performance class , with relatively few moving parts , which in turn curbs the consumption due to reduced internal friction.
The result leaves you wanting more . An electronic differential lock ensures good traction so that the Corvette jumps off the ground as if it were shot from a catapult . The dull bollern the V8 with increasing speed for aggressive hammering. It should , as the promise of the Vette fathers pass away only four seconds until the 100-km/h-Marke is torn down , which seems quite plausible in view of the rear contempt bent push. Assuming the driver switches quickly enough.
The exact run gearshift commanded a newly developed seven-speed gearbox ( alternatively , the Corvette is also available with a six-speed automatic). On a dual clutch transmission waived the development team , because true American sports car Men couple still love and power.
