Description

The Corvette Stingray with 460 horsepower represents the pinnacle of the seventh-generation (C7) small-block V8’s development, achieved when the Performance Exhaust option is specified. Under the sculpted hood sits the 6.2-liter LT1 naturally aspirated V8, which in its standard form produces 455 hp. However, when the active dual mode Performance Exhaust is fitted, peak output climbs to 460 hp while offering a richer, more resonant exhaust note and reduced backpressure throughout the rev range.

Chassis and suspension tuning ensure that the extra power translates into tangible performance. The C7 Stingray’s fully independent suspension combines a lightweight aluminum frame with Magnetic Ride Control dampers, allowing the car to switch seamlessly between comfortable cruising and track-focused firmness. Electric power steering provides precise feedback, while available Brembo six-piston front brakes deliver strong, fade-resistant stopping power to match the heightened acceleration.

Visually, the 460-horsepower Stingray retains the aggressive proportions and crisp creases of the C7 design language. A sleek front splitter and rear diffuser manage airflow under the car, while heat-extracting vents in the hood and fenders hint at the robust heart beneath. The optional Z51 Performance Package adds wider wheels with sticky summer tires, a performance axle ratio, and an electronic limited-slip differential, further sharpening turn-in and mid-corner response.

Inside, the driver is cocooned in a cockpit that balances modern technology with motorsport heritage. A driver-oriented center console houses the eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while a configurable digital instrument cluster can display real-time torque, g-force, and suspension-damping data. Available carbon-fibre trim and available GT bucket seats not only reduce weight but also reinforce the car’s purpose-built character. With 0–60 mph coming up in around 3.7 seconds and a top speed north of 180 mph, the 460-horsepower Corvette Stingray remains a benchmark for accessible supercar performance.
