The Essential Corvette

With 59 years of history and advancements in technology and design, it is no wonder Corvette has carved a permanent niche into the global automotive landscape. It's the top-selling high-performance sports car in its segment and stands alone as the only truly American sports car in the competitive class. And now with advancements in performance and technology, Corvette reaches new heights again in 2012.

From its standard 430-horsepower LS3 all-aluminum V8 engine, 190-mph performance and its 26 MPG highway† fuel efficiency, Corvette defines state-of-the-art technology, engineering and design among luxury sports cars year after year. And now, with more options for personalization, the 2012 Corvette stands to reflect unparalleled distinction. Yours.

Performance

Racetrack cultivated, for the road you're on

Corvette is inspired by the speed and force echoing from the world's most legendary racetracks, while remaining on-road ready.

The standard 6.2-liter LS3 aluminum-block V8 engine powering coupe produces 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque (436 horsepower and 428 lb.-ft of torque with available dual-mode exhaust). And with its favorable power-to-weight ratio, coupe performs like a thoroughbred, reaching a top speed of 190 mph and a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds on the test track.

Dial up your suspension

Stiffen suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city and highway driving with available Magnetic Selective Ride Control™, also included with the Chevrolet Centennial Edition. An electromagnetic coil resides inside each damper piston. When an electrical current is applied — variably controlled by a microprocessor — ferrous particles in the shock fluid instantly bond, making the fluid more flow resistant, effectively stiffening the shock's damping. Conversely, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows more freely, allowing easier suspension movement. Explore two cockpit settings — Tour and Sport.

Launch control—power straight to pavement

Just put your hands on the wheel and your foot to the floor. Corvette with launch control will do the rest. Included with the short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox, it modulates engine rpm in competitive mode to lay the power down more smoothly while providing consistent acceleration times on the test track. It's a feature for those who like to compete in club-sanctioned closed-course track events, but may just tempt others to start.

Opt for the available Dual Roof Package to enjoy both solid and transparent roofs whenever you feel inclined.

Both classic and aggressive

Rounded fenders and dynamic lines are classic Corvette design elements that have been the foundation of its exterior design for nearly 60 years. Celebrate classic Corvette roots with the exclusive-for-2012 Carlisle Blue exterior color option, or honor its heritage with Carbon Flash Metallic exterior color, available only with the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition.

Your distinctive mark

Individuality is a trademark of both Corvette and
Corvette owners. And now more than ever, owners can
personalize their 2012 Corvette by selecting the brake
caliper color of their choice with the larger cross-drilled
brakes—available in Dark Gray Metallic, Red, Silver and Yellow. Owners also have the option to select headlamp colors, available in gray, silver or black. This, along with extensive available dealer-installed Genuine Corvette Accessories, can make your convertible truly yours.

Refinement at every touch

Corvette interior has been refined for greater driving support and comfort. The new seat design includes larger bolsters on the seatback and cushion areas for increased support, especially in high-performance driving but greatly welcomed for day-to-day driving. Optional sueded microfiber seat inserts complement the new design even further, as does the revised steering wheel featuring model-specific badges, streamlined switch trim, wrapped spokes, better hand placement and thumb grips.

Excellence is found in details

No detail was overlooked in order to create the most luxurious Corvette Convertible interior to date. Padded center console and armrests on all models soften the interior, while the added visual touch of contrasting color stitching—in red, blue and yellow—is available with the Custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package with sueded microfiber on the 4LT trim level.

Comfort, convenience and cutting edge

Corvette is born of modern technology and can be seen in its hydroformed steel structure and options such as Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ with Cross-drilled brake rotors, but Corvette also includes features that keep you connected to your life. New for 2012 the Technology Package standard on 2LT, which brings together many of the most popular infotainment features such as the Head-Up Display, Bose® premium sound system, Bluetooth® wireless technology† for select phones and more in one simple option.

Safety

Protection is great, prevention is better

Our philosophy on safety emphasizes prevention with important features such as Active Handling and four-wheel antilock brakes, but in the event of a collision, Corvette is engineered for safety before, during and—thanks to OnStar®—after an accident to help keep you protected†.

Before

Active Handling, run-flat tires and four-wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control to help avoid crashes in the first place, while standard high-intensity discharge xenon headlamps shed 900 lumens of light onto the road for excellent visibility. And if there's a loss of tire pressure, the run-flat tires help enable safe function for some distance at a moderate speed until the tire can be repaired.

During

In the event of a collision, Corvette Coupe is designed to help keep you and your passengers protected with frontal and side-impact air bags† to help protect you.

After

OnStar® with Directions & Connections® and Automatic Crash Response† uses built-in sensors that can automatically alert an Advisor who can be immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location—even if you're unable to respond. Standard for the first six months.
