Convertible delivers the same optimal performance as coupe. The top is fully electronic and can be lowered remotely using the fob or at speeds up to 48KPH—without the need for mechanical latches. With the top up, a thick, three-ply design ensures maximum sound absorption for a quiet cabin. And, when you decide to put the top down, it hides seamlessly beneath a body-colored tonneau cover.

The available Z51 Performance Package includes dual brake ducts that transport air from the front grille through the wheel well to effectively cool the front brakes and expel heat. This efficient airflow controls temperature, reduces brake fade and optimizes stopping performance.

Frosted indirect high-intensity discharge head lamps are the eyes to the technological soul of the Stingray, emanating crisp color, brightness and effeciency. The new elements bear a sharper, more sinister shape framed by edge-lit amber LED turn signals and black chrome housing. Bi-Xenon HID technology achieves high and low beams with a single light engine.

Signature four-element tail lamps bear a new angular shape and recede elegantly into three-dimensional sculpted lenses. Concealed indirect LED lamps cast light into a reverse reflector to achieve crisp and even luminescence. A high-mounted stop lamp crowns the rear deck lid. It's design that doesn't look back.

The intuitive instrument cluster bears two ultra-bright 8-inch diagonal high-definition color LED screens — screens so bright they can even be read with the top down in direct sunlight. The center console entertainment interface features a retractable, tablet-inspired touch-screen complete with customizable home screen. And an available color Head-Up Display projects critical data into the driver’s line of sight on the windshield.

An available Competition Sport seat builds on the same lightweight frame. This seat provides maximum support for cornering, with more pronounced side bolsters designed for high-performance driving on the track. Upgrade with available sueded-microfiber seat inserts, gearshift and steering wheel.

Segmented aluminum rails — varying in thickness from 2 mm to 11 mm — enable tailored gauge, shape and strength properties with minimal weight.

Variable Valve Timing optimizes camshaft timing to improve high-rpm horsepower and low-end torque. An intelligent position sensor detects engine operating conditions and adjusts the timing of intake and exhaust valves. The result is increased power or torque when needed, enhancing performance and bolstering fuel economy when combined with Active Fuel Management™.

With precision engineering comes masterful driving. Electric power steering eliminates road shake, enhancing responsiveness. Standard Brembo^® brakes deliver confident stopping power, while Michelin^® Pilot^® Super Sport Zero Pressure summer-only tires exclusive to Stingray — optimize ride, grip and handling.

The available Z51 Performance Package takes Stingray performance to track levels. It includes larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels and Michelin^® Pilot^® Super Sport Zero Pressure summer-only tires —; a dry-sump oil system; Electronic Limited-Slip Differential; larger front brakes and slotted rotors with black calipers; specific gear ratios, shocks, springs and stabilizer bars; plus available Magnetic Ride Control and Performance Traction Management.

Torque is optimized when properly divided between the two rear wheels. Included with the Z51 Performance Package, intelligent Electronic Limited-Slip Differential continuously modulates torque split to improve traction, acceleration out of corners, stability on the highway and steering turn-in responsiveness. Integration with stability control and Performance Traction Management delivers seamless vehicle handling and optimal traction. Critical to performance and indiscernible to the driver, more rear-wheel control means a new level of confidence.

As a final, elegantly integrated touch, Stingray features a motorized drop-down faceplate behind the center display that reveals a concealed storage area with USB input. Other features include a premium BOSE^® audio system, available 3-D navigation maps, an SD card slot, an audio input jack and Bluetooth^® 3.0 wireless technology.
