The prominent front end features dual intakes for better overall vehicle cooling while giving it a forceful appearance. Sporty 5-open-spoke aluminum wheels come standard, 19-inch in the front, and 20-inch in the rear, giving one the impression of a cat ready to pounce. The clean design of the 2021 Corvette is amplified by the hidden door handles and hatch and hood releases, helping to improve the aerodynamics. The 2021 Corvette Stingray offers standard LED headlamps, Solar-Ray® tinted glass, and an available transparent roof panel.

The standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system is accessed by an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth® audio streaming along with 4G LTE Wi-Fi® mobile hotspot capability.

Audiophiles will be pleased to know they can upgrade their audio system to the Bose® 14-speaker set-up for crystal clear sound.

The interior of the 2021 Chevy Corvette Stingray is just as impressive as the exterior. A standard dual-zone climate control system keeps the cabin comfortable, no matter the temperature outside. Sliding into the standard GT1 bucket seats upholstered with Mulan leather, you'll be swaddled in the ultimate comfort. Both the driver and passenger seats are 8-way power adjustable so you both can find that relaxation sweet spot. If you're craving more luxury, upgrade trim levels for heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped upper instrument panel, side door trim, and console cover. Competition Sport bucket seats, specifically designed for track and high-performance driving, are offered as an available option.

There are numerous ways to personalize the appearance of your new Corvette to perfectly suit you. One of these ways is the new colors and graphics available for the 2021 Chevy Corvette Stingray. For that extra bit of flair, add dual racing stripes that run from nose to tail with 6 color choices including Orange and Carbon Flash Silver. Stinger stripes can be added to the hood in Carbon Flash with Edge Red, Midnight Silver, or Edge Yellow for a bolder, sexier look. Striking new body colors for 2021 include Red Mist Metallic and Silver Flare Metallic. The customization doesn't stop with the exterior, either. Make the inside your own with a bevy of color options available for the leather seats, seat belts, and contrast stitching, including Sky Cool Gray with Strike Yellow accents, new for 2021.

It's hard to improve upon a storied legacy but the 2021 Chevy Corvette Stingray has done it with the innovative 6.2L V8 engine. The unwavering powertrain generates a thunderous 495 horsepower and 470 lb/ft of torque when you upgrade to the Z51 Performance Package. With this package you also get electronic limited-slip rear differential and more aggressive brakes for a more controlled and confident ride. The best part is this makes the 2021 Corvette the most powerful production Stingray in the history of Chevrolet. With all of this power inside the compact Stingray package means unbridled power and speed, able to go from 0-60 in under 3 seconds.

The placement of the engine inside the 2021 Corvette provides astonishing responsiveness and a controlled driving feel. Placing the engine behind the driver's seat means it sits lower, allowing for better handling and the rear weight bias that comes from the unique engine placement gives you more acceleration than most sports cars. The standard dual-clutch 8-speed transmission is another first for Corvette, giving you lightning-quick shifts and incredible control. The transmission is controlled from either the push-button gear selector or the paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. Whether you're on the highway, a city street, or the track, the 2021 Chevy Corvette Stingray gives you breathtaking speed and performance.
