Good news, Vette enthusiasts! The 2015 model year of your favorite American sports car is nearing its release date and boy does it pack a bucket load of goodies certain to make your heart race with intense desire.
Starting off with with our early May presumption, now it's been officially confirmed that the updated Corvette will be offered with the amazing Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic hue as an optional extra, along with a new Shark Gray Mettalic exterior paint.
The aforementioned will be replacing the current Lime Rock Green Metallic and Cyber Gray Metallic, which we're kind of meh to be frank. As for mechanical changes, there's nothing that important to make our jaws drop. The biggest addition is most certainly the introduction of an optional 8L90 eight-speed automatic, the same paddle-shift unit introduced on the 2015 Corvette Z06, with seventh and eighth acting as overdrive gears.
According to the order guide, the new tranny is coupled to a 2.41 limited-slip differential, a perfect feature for all the boys and girls out there that enjoy full opposite lock hoonage. On the aesthetics front, a tasty ZF1 Appearance Package appears in the options list, consisting of body-color boot spoiler and five-spoke silver alloy wheels borrowed from the Z51 Performance Pack, but without the go-faster paraphernelia.
Customers of the brand spanking new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray can find themselves ticking quite a few boxes in the options list. Just to name a few that caught our attention by the throat, carbon fiber badges and an all-new Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Package are available, along with black or silver valve stems. The aero pack includes a front splitter, wider rocker panels and a proeminent spoiler incorporated in the trunk lid.
As for interior changes, the revamped coupe model can be kitted out with a quilted suede headliner, while the convertible can be ordered with a really cool carbon fiber tonneau cover. Naturally, GM's latest generation OnStar system featuring 4G LTE connectivity is also available, with Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
If you're a track day junkie and want to opt for the Performance Data Recorder to improve on your lap times, tough luck – you'll need to spend some hard earned cash on the optional sat-nav system beforehand.
