2025 Corvette Stingray

Competing against European supercars requires serious engineering. The 2025 Corvette Stingray meets the challenge with its monstrously powerful V8, perfectly balanced chassis, and aerodynamically efficient design.

Thunderous V8

The heart of the Corvette Stingray is a 6.2L V8 that hails from Chevy’s small-block engine family. It incorporates a dry-sump scavenge system, a composite intake manifold with eight 210-mm runners, and advanced exhaust manifolds with performance stainless-steel headers. These features enable the engine to consistently produce up to 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The available Z51 Performance Package’s upgraded exhaust pushes the V8’s output even further to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Dual-Clutch Transmission

An 8-speed dual-clutch transmission transmits the engine’s power to the sports car’s rear wheels. It mimics the smoothness of an automatic transmission by connecting the gears to two independent clutches, which ensures that the next gear is always ready for shifting. This doesn’t come at the expense of engagement; the dual-clutch transmission lets drivers shift manually like in a traditional sports car. The Stingray’s dual-clutch transmission also features a double-paddle declutch function that lets drivers effortlessly disengage the clutch.

Aerodynamic Design

The Corvette Stingray’s ingenious design helps it slice through drag and reach blistering speeds while redirecting airflow to cool vital systems. Some of the sports car’s defining aerodynamic features include a chiseled body, massive side air intakes, a bumper-mounted grille, and an aggressive rake stance. Buyers can add an available front splitter and rear spoiler to improve the sports car’s downforce generation, further enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.

Sensational Performance

With an aerodynamically efficient design and countless performance-enhancing systems smoothly working together, the Corvette Stingray is ready to challenge Europe’s finest supercars on the racetrack. The sports car hits 60 mph in 2.9 seconds (when equipped with the Z51 Performance Package) and storms down the quarter mile in a frantic 11.2 seconds. Under ideal conditions, the Stingray reaches a breathtaking top speed of 194 mph.

Exceptional Maneuverability

The Corvette Stingray has no trouble maintaining incredible speeds on winding roads and in closed circuits. Some of its maneuverability comes from a nearly 50-50 weight distribution, which is achieved through a mid-engine layout that places the mighty V8 between the driver and the rear axle. The sports car also offers an innovative suspension system with Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0, which uses a magnetorheological fluid to provide precise adaptive damping. This translates to better traction and reduced body roll.

If you want a supercar-slayer that doesn’t break the bank, the Corvette Stingray is just the right vehicle for you. Visit us at Coughlin Chevrolet Buick GMC of Chillicothe in Chillicothe, OH to get a closer look at this American icon of speed.
