Chevrolet Corvette

If you ever feel the need to sit inside a space that is appealing and speaks of high sophistication, it is the cabin of a sports car. The cabin of the Corvette C8 is designed to give you all the plush feel, focusing on the dashboard which has all the modern graphics. There is also an optional heads-up display that helps you focus on the road. The cabin space feels very swaddled, owing to the large draped HVAC switches between the driver and passenger compartment. The seats and door panels are covered in leather upholstery, oozing out elegance from every corner. The heated and cooled seats provide extra comfort during the journey. The passenger seats get separate AC vents with automatic dual climate control. The center-console and infotainment system is designed keeping in mind the driver’s comfort. The AC controls are isolated on the driver’s side rather than being shared with the passenger as found is most traditional cars. The flat-top frames rather than hiding the instruments, while the flat bottom gives you more legroom. There is ample headroom for a person of average height but still, the cabin feels compact mainly due to the slating windshield. 

The grab rails are also there for the passengers to hold in case the driver takes the car to all the fast mode. There is also a BOSE music system fitted to give you a pleasurable ride with its te speakers and a subwoofer. The steering wheel is very basic and comes equipped with paddle shifters and other ubiquitous features. The dashboard setup comes with a digital speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and heads up display. 

The exterior aesthetics of the Corvette C8 are full of appeal and style, such that you cannot take your eyes off this car. Talking about the body structure of this sports car, the panels are made up of a carbon fiber material that is as shiny and glossy as you could imagine it to be. The roof is foldable to give you a complete feel of a convertible car. You are given ten different color options to choose from so that you can enjoy your sports car in your favorite color. Donning the front fascia are a set of headlamps and the bonnet structure, which talks of utter elegance and luxury. The curvy lines all over the Corvette seamlessly merge with the side panels, because the doors do not have handles, making the overall contouring looks stunning. 

Once you start driving the Corvette Stingray, you feel it is almost like a cakewalk, since the drive is utterly smooth and leveled. The cult sound that it makes while you give the throttle, is sure to make a lot of heads turn. While you are on the road with your Corvette, it is going to be all about swag and style. Even the transmission is very smooth and subtle that you won’t even feel a jolt. The easy handling of the steering wheel also makes it easy to take those sharp turns efficiently. 

At the heart of the Corvette Stingray lies the V8 engine that can spark a maximum power of 460 hp and a peak torque of 630 Nm. The 8-speed automatic transmission mounted at the rear of this motor helps it go from 0-100 kmph in under 5 seconds.

The C8 is equipped with 6 SRS airbags and ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) with electronic stability control to provide additional safety. The driver can also monitor the tyre pressure as well as oil pressure on the instrument cluster, which definitely is an added feature. 

Chevrolet designer has given it a lot of thought and effort from the past one decade in designing a sports car that speaks of power and excellence and the Stingray is the result of those efforts. With a price tag of Php 8.55 Million, it is a cheaper option when compared to the BMW M4 Coupe or Porsche 911. At this price, it is still the most competitive and technologically strong Corvettes that Chevrolet has offered its customers.
