The 2014 Corvette is without a doubt the star of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, brighter than any European or Japanese import. The car seventh-generation model has its nose pointed at Chevrolet’s future, but its wheels are firmly rooted in half a century of history.
Thus, it’s the perfect car to showcase at the 18th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. It will be shown alongside the original Sting Rays in an exhibit that opens to the public Friday, March 8th at "The Design Analysis of the Revolutionary Corvette Sting Ray Seminar, Presented by Chevrolet".
"The Holy Grail for developing a performance car is delivering greater performance and more power with greater fuel economy and that's what we've achieved," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief designer.
"The 2014 Stingray has the same sort of 'bolt of lightning' presence that the original Sting Ray did five decades ago," said Amelia Island Concours Founder and Chairman Bill Warner. "We're honored and humbled that Chevrolet has chosen 'the Amelia' to celebrate the return of the Stingray.
