Introduced at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray represented a comprehensive redesign that quickly established itself as one of the most acclaimed Corvettes ever produced, earning more than 20 industry awards. Its competition pedigree was equally compelling. Factory-backed racing Corvettes fielded by Chevrolet and Pratt & Miller proved immediately formidable, securing class victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans during the 2015 season.
Now offered through Bring a Trailer with only 2,900 miles, this 2016 Corvette Stingray Convertible presents an exceptionally low-mileage example equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package. Finished in Arctic White, the car features a matching removable roof panel, vented carbon-fiber hood, rear spoiler, xenon headlights, front curb-view cameras, and quad exhaust outlets. Chrome 19-inch front and 20-inch rear double-spoke alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires, while Z51-tuned suspension and an Active Handling System with all-speed traction control enhance its dynamic capability. Braking is handled by slotted, ventilated four-wheel rotors paired with distinctive red-painted calipers.
The cabin combines performance-focused technology with premium appointments. Heated and ventilated bucket seats are trimmed in Kalahari leather, complemented by two-tone leather across the dashboard and doors. Equipment includes a Performance Data and Video Recorder, Bose audio, dual-zone automatic climate control, touchscreen infotainment, and memory settings for the driver’s seat. A multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters frames a 205-mph speedometer and comprehensive instrumentation, including a digital tachometer and virtual gauges. A head-up display further places essential driving information directly within the driver’s line of sight.
Power comes from Chevrolet’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8, rated from the factory at 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque when fitted with the multi-mode performance exhaust. An eight-speed automatic transmission with Z51-specific gearing delivers power to the rear wheels, while an electronic limited-slip differential optimizes traction and corner-exit performance.
