Product Overview

Chevrolet Corvette C7 is a compact high-performance sports car in production from 2014 to 2019. It was available with a range of V8 engines that displaced 6.2 liters.

    Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
    The 'Vette was always a lightweight machine built of fiberglass, but of course these days it's carbonfibre layered across the dash, those seats and of course above your head, with that removable roof. The seats are really well bolstered: the fittings and finish of the cabin, including the leather, isn't Porsche-like, but it's hardly Asda either. The driving position is low, snug and near-perfect, giving you prime position to lord over that undulating bonnet.

    The ZR1 is the fastest, most powerful production Corvette yet. Costs $121,000 (£94,650) compared with $55,495 for a base-model C7 'Vette. Has a blown 6.2-litre V8 developing 755bhp and 715lb ft of torque. Not many cars can outperform it, not for this money.
