Packed with new technology and weight-saving materials, the 2014 Corvette Stingray also gained a more upscale interior, one that Chevrolet is very proud of. With the sportscar almost ready to hit dealerships, GM has released a video that highlights one of the vehicle’s strongest interior feature - the digital instrument cluster.
Flanked by three analog gauges for speed, fuel, and engine-coolant temperature, the eight-inch display screen is organized into three themes (sport, tour, track) and can provide up to 69 unique sources of information, including an interactive performance timer, tire temperature or fiction-bubble/cornering force.
“The new Corvette Stingray features many advanced technologies, so our challenge when designing the driver’s displays was to ensure that those technologies could be easily found in common driving scenarios,” explains Jason Stewart, General Motors interaction designer.
“The touring theme places more emphasis on multimedia and infotainment; the sport theme emphasizes performance features with a prominent shift indicator and a large radial tachometer; track theme offers a race-inspired layout containing a sweeping tachometer, Corvette racing inspired shift lights and permanent lap-time displays,” Stewart adds. “Each of these three themes can also be configured so that drivers can personalize their experience in the Stingray.”
