Corvette Racing revealed the new Chevrolet Corvette C7.R at the 2013 Rolex Motorsports Reunion. The car later participated in the 2014 Roar before the Rolex 24. The car was officially unveiled with its new livery on January 13, at the same time as the new Z06. The new C7.R uses a 5.5L direct-injected V8 and shares many aerodynamic devices and parts with the Z06.
Starting in 2015, a Z06 version will be offered. The Z06 features a 6.2L supercharged LT4 engine in place of the LT1 found on the base model. It is expected to produce in excess of 625 brake horsepower. For the first time, the Z06 will be offered with the option of an automatic transmission.
The Chevrolet Corvette (C7) is a sports car being produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced for the 2014 model year. It is the seventh generation Chevrolet Corvette and the first to bear the Corvette Stingray name since the 1976 third generation model. It is expected to start delivery in the 3rd quarter of 2013. This new version will be available with right-hand drive in the UK market for the first time since Corvette was introduced in 1953.
The new Corvette from day one was a pioneer in the use of industry first advanced materials and the features of the new generation include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel. Its fenders, doors and rear quarter panels remain composite. The under-body panels are made of "carbon-nano" composite and it makes use of a new hydroformed aluminum frame which locates the four wheels an inch farther apart, front to rear and side to side. The rear tail lights use indirect LED technology. Despite the increased use of aluminum and other light weight materials, the overall weight of the car remains the same as that of the previous generation's.[9] The new corvette will use a new seven speed manual transmission made by Tremec and active rev matching. The Corvette will use a sophisticated driver mode selector with 5 settings Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track mode. The C7 will use a C6.R race car inspired functional hood and side vents and inlets for cooling of the different components and for down force. The interior features one of the most advanced driver displays in the industry that changes depending on what mode a person will be in. Two seats will be available for the corvette: a sporty touring seat for every day use, and a competition sport seat for track driving with pass throughs for a racing harness. The new C7 interior is world class with authentic materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber.

The new Corvette LT1 engine, the first of the Gen 5 family of Small Block engines, retains the pushrods acting on overhead valves design, and brings several technologies new to the engine line, such as direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing that have been widely available in the market in the vehicles of numerous, and much lower-priced, competitors.[10] Fuel injectors are located under the intake manifold. It remains rear-wheel drive with the transaxle located in the rear. Transmission choices include a 7-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
