2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - This is the first of 15
Hottest New Cars for 2014 Forbes Version.
Arguably the most significant
new-car introduction for 2014 (at least from an enthusiast’s standpoint) brings
a hallowed name back to an iconic American sports car. Coming in coupe and
convertible versions, the Corvette Stingray is completely redesigned with an
all-new chassis and mechanicals residing beneath seductively sleek bodywork. A
technologically advanced 6.2-liter V8 engine channels an estimated 450
horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque through the rear wheels that enables a
launch from 0 to 60 mph in a sizzling 3.8 seconds. Lighter in weight, though
more structurally rigid than before, an ideal 50/50 front-to-rear weight ratio,
reengineered steering and suspension systems and an array of sophisticated
chassis-control hardware promise tenacious handling.
A new Drive Mode Selector allows the driver to tune 12
separate performance attributes according to five different driving situations,
including one for use on wet roads and another that enables the engine to run
on only four cylinders to garner maximum fuel economy. Addressing one of the
past model’s nagging weaknesses, the Stingray’s two-seat interior features a
new driver-focused dashboard and extensive use of high-quality materials.
