The low slung sports car’s exterior sports a dizzying array of aerodynamic bits all around such as the front splitter, side air vents, rear wheel adjacent air scoops and a bootlip spoiler.

However, higher packages provide features such as HUD (Heads Up Display) and performance data recorder. The 6.2 l V8 powering the 2016 Corvette Stingray produces 460 hp @ 6000 rpm and a whopping 630 Nm of torque at 4600 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight speed automatic gearbox.
