No doubt about it: the C7 Corvette Stingray was the best “old school” Corvette ever. It was the last with front engine and, also, it was the first with a really nice interior.
Its silhouette was easy to recognize. It had the same sharp nose, a long hood, and an aerodynamic greenhouse. In the rear, the short overhang amplified the sport look. On top of that, the roof featured a carbon-fiber removable part that transformed the car from a coupe to a targa bodywork. Also, the hood was carbon-fiber too, to enhance the weight distribution.
Inside, there was a big improvement over the C6, which wasn't that good on materials quality. The dashboard features a mix instrument cluster, with analog dials and a TFT display which could be customized to show the information needed by the driver. On the central console, there was the rotary knob for drive-mode selector with a big, round “ESP-off” button in the middle. Another important improvement was the infotainment system that featured an 8” touch-screen display. The head-up display was kept, but with better functions.
Under the hood, the C7 featured a new, 6.2-liter engine that offered 455 hp and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft) of torque. It could be mated either with a six-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed manual. The adaptive dampers with Magnetic ride control were upgraded and, on the C7, offered more settings than on the C6. It was the last front-engine, rear-wheel drive Corvette.
