Corvette Of The Day: 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The 2016 Corvette Stingray was the first in the seventh-generation lineup not to include a special edition. Instead, Chevrolet introduced three all-new, color-themed design packages for the 2016 model year.

Finished in either Twilight Blue, Spice Red or Jet Black Suede, the special color-themed design packages offered consumers a custom-tailored appearance package that helped to elevate the Stingray’s presence both on the street and on the track.

The heart of the 2016 Corvette Stingray continued to feature Chevrolet’s LT1 – a 6.2L V-8 engine rated at an SAE certified 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with the available performance exhaust system, those numbers jumped to 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.

The Corvette Stingray’s well-appointed powertrain enabled Z51-equipped models paired with a manual transmission to accelerate from 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. Equally impressive is the fact that the Corvette Stingray coupe and convertible can back its performance capability with some of the greatest efficiencies of any sports car on the market producing more than 450 horsepower.
