The 2025 Corvette Stingray offers something an exotic European supercar can’t: the raw, aggressive thrill and unapologetic attitude of American performance. With its mid-engine layout, rear-wheel drive, and thunderous V8, it’s a purist’s dream, delivering satisfaction and dominance in spades.

2025 Corvette Stingray

Monstrous V8 Power

The Stingray sets your pulse racing from the moment its brawny 6.2-liter V8 engine roars to life with nearly 500 HP and up to 470 lb-ft of torque. It channels this brute force using a sophisticated 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.

By combining the engagement and precision of a manual and the speed and smoothness of an automatic, this advanced transmission delivers precise, lightning-quick shifts to ensure mind-blowing acceleration, with the Stingray reaching 60 in less than 3 seconds.

Razor-Sharp Handling

The Stingray is engineered to stay planted and precise through every curve. Its mid-engine layout delivers near-perfect weight distribution, ensuring unwavering stability around corners, while the limited-slip rear differential continuously optimizes torque distribution between the rear wheels, preventing slipping by sending more power to the wheel with the most grip, thus allowing the Stingray to rotate through turns with maximum traction and control. Meanwhile, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S high-performance tires maximize stability and precision with their pavement-searing grip.

At the same time, Brembo brakes deliver exceptional stopping power and fade resistance, letting you maintain precise control even when braking hard. As if that weren’t enough for elite bend-carving prowess, the available adaptive suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control takes things to a whole new level. Using an innovative magnetically controlled suspension fluid, it continuously adjusts damping in real time, stiffening the chassis in as little as 10 milliseconds when it detects turning, ensuring unflinching composure through every corner.

Intelligent Safety and Assist Systems

The Corvette Stingray comes with a suite of advanced technologies to help keep its fire-breathing attitude in check. This lets you enjoy its performance with peace of mind and confidence. They can include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist braking, an HD front and rear vision camera, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Following Distance Indicator, and more!

Luxurious Cabin

Inside, the Stingray follows the premise that as long as you’re supremely comfortable, you’ll enjoy its riveting performance for much longer. As a result, its masterfully crafted cabin is awash with high-comfort amenities, which can include heated and ventilated seats, Nappa leather seating surfaces with perforated inserts, leather-wrapped interior panels, a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system, a Google-based infotainment touchscreen, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, a performance data recorder, and more!
