After months of speculation, spy shots and “leaked” 3-D images raising the anticipation level and the excitement of the fanboy in us, here it is folks, The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and yes, the iconic Stingray name is back since it was last seen in the C3 ‘Vette.
As promised, Chevrolet has taken off the wraps of what’s arguably one of its most highly anticipated cars. This is the day we at TopSpeed have been waiting for since all of this C7 talk started.
Rather than calling it the “Corvette,” Chevy boldly calls it the “New Corvette.” Calling it “new” is absolutely correct, as everything on the car is brand new. From a new design to a new powertrain to a brand new interior, Chevrolet 
has revolutionized every nook and cranny of the `Vette. But it still has that modern Corvette philosophy that has been retained for the past six generations, maybe even made it better.

The 2014 Stingray is still in very short supply, but we managed to get our hands on one a few minutes and took it out for a short cruise. In just the short time we had with the car, we can tell you that the Stingray drives like just like a Corvette should.
The seven-speed gearbox is smoother than any Corvette gearbox to date, and that new LT1 V-8 has just as much pin-you-in-your-seat power as last year’s model, and with better fuel economy — win-win.
The model we tested had the Z51 track package installed, which includes a dry-sump oil system, tire temperature sensors, an electronic limited-slip diff, integral braking, transmission and differential cooling, and upgraded wheels, brakes and tires. This gave us the best opportunity to see exactly what the top-line 2014 Corvette — to date — can do.
The biggest improvement for us is the cabin. The new interior is superb and finally feels "Corvette exclusive" instead of being a bunch of bits and pieces pulled from various GM part bins. Watch the above video for some on-the-go impressions... The Corvette is cool again!
This aspect definitely deserves a separate section of its own. Unlike the design of the Corvette C6 which was merely a C5 with a facelift, the C7’s was designed from scratch. It does have some inspiration from the Stingray Concept, both in design as well as the name it carries.
The front end embraces an all-new design that looks even more visceral than ever before. At a certain angle, the car sports an evil smile that does suit its nature. The headlights are new with the industry-standard LED daytime lights. The front does look really good, but we can’t help but notice the eerily striking resemblance to the SRT Viper. But it’s not all that controversial, unlike the rear end.
The rear end is all vents and tailpipes. It has received a very aggressive styling that competitors can drool at when the Stingray blazes past them. The quadruple taillights stay true to the Corvette tradition, but the trapezoidal design has a slight inspiration from the Camaro. Like the recent `Vettes, the Stingray sports large trumpet-like quad tailpipes bolted nicely in the center of the rear valence.
