There have been a lot of
fuss happening about the 2019 Corvette Stingray.
The seventh generation of this Corvette is said to come in the last stage of
production, test, and also development at one of their plants in Milford,
Michigan. It seems that the company is confident enough with the development of
the chassis, aero, and also engine updates that they believe that the new ZR1
will deliver only the best performance and ultimate expression.
2019 Corvette Stingray Important Matter
The biggest fuss about the
new 2019 Corvette Stingray is the fact
that it should be the fastest and speediest Corvette in the auto history with
top speed promised to reach 200 mph. The company says that they are hoping for
the ride to be able to reach 6 mph in less than 3 seconds, reach top 130 mph
within the quarter mile, and have a good grip of 1.00 g with the lateral grip.
The new Corvette is
designed to prove the claim that even with the classic rear transaxle and front
engine arrangement (like the one used in C5 more than 20 years ago), the ZR1
will be able to achieve the best performance and peak power. With the
combination of composite plastic body construction, aluminum spaceframe, bigger
tires and wheels, and transverse monoleaf springs, and solid brake, the overall
performance of the ride should be smooth and just beautiful. With substantial
front splitter, adjustable back airfoil, and also Cessna Citation wing, the car
should be able to have a stable hold and firm stance even though the speed
increases. With big air intake and hood vents, the flow of the air should be
improved significantly.
2019 Corvette Stingray Engine
There hasn’t been any
official decision about the powertrain but there are two major options for the
engine. It is possible that the new 2019
Corvette Stingray will be going with the V8 supercharged LT4 that has
bigger stroke, bigger power, and also bigger bore to deliver the promised 750
hp of power. But there is also an option of using V8 twin turbo engine. Hopefully,
the new Corvette will be coming with only the right option, paired with manual
seven speed transmission. If they want to compete againts Porsche 911, Ferrari
488GTB, Mercy AMG GT, Audi R8, Nissan GT R, and McLaren 570S.
2019 Corvette Stingray Price and Release Date
It is possible that the new
Corvette will be available somewhere in 2017. For the price, it is predicted to
be more than $100,000 – it is likely that the new 2019
Corvette Stingray will cost more than $120,000
