Not a $tingray: Low-Cost Chevrolet Corvette Coupe in the Works
We’ve heard plenty of enticing details on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, from its new estimated 450-hp LT1 V-8 engine to the aerodynamic details that may make the C7 the most streamlined Corvette ever. All these details sound great, but enthusiasts actually considering a 2014 Corvette Stingray may only hear dollar signs. That won’t be the case for long, as Motor Trend has learned that Chevrolet is preparing a “low-cost” Corvette for 2015.The lower-cost Corvette will not wear a Stingray badge and, instead of the 6.2-liter V-8 with an estimated 450 hp, expect a version of the all-aluminum direct-injection 5.3-liter V-8 making fewer than 400 horsepower. Called the Corvette Coupe, the car’s 5.3-liter V-8 is similar to the one debuting in the new GM trucks. Chevrolet considered a twin-turbo V-6 because, while it had enough power, it didn’t improve fuel economy.
The Corvette Coupe will still have plenty of curb appeal, but compared to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the car will include changes to the front fascia, front fender, and rear diffuser. Interestingly enough, we hear the Corvette Coupe project started life as Project Stingray.
With the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette carrying an MSRP of $50,595 for a base, manual-transmission model, a Chevrolet Corvette Coupe model could help bring the car’s base price below $50,000 again, before factoring in incentives. Whatever the price, we’re looking forward to driving it.

Moments | Design - Rejected C5 Design
Looks familiar? Aside from the 300ZX C-pillars, maybe the roots of the C7 Stingray can also be traced.
