Product Overview

Chevrolet Corvette C6 Convertible is a high-performance mid-size convertible sports car in production from 2004 to 2013. It was available with a range of V8 engines that displaced 6.0 to 7.0 liters.
Compared to the C5 Corvette, the C6 is an evolution with similar chassis design but a much more powerful engine lineup. GM continued to offer manual transmissions, while the new 6-speed automatic was introduced to improve both performance and efficiency.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Chevrolet Corvette C6 comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners.
