Chevrolet confirms 2020 Stingray quickest in its history

Chevrolet has confirmed the 2020 Corvette Stingray with the available Z51 Performance Package can reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and cross the quarter mile mark in 11.2 seconds at 121 mph.

Even without the available Z51 Package, a base Stingray, starting at $59,995 (including destination charges, excluding tax, title, license, and dealer fees), can reach 60 mph in 3 seconds flat and cross the quarter mile mark in 11.2 seconds at 123 mph. Performance numbers may vary, as different climates, tire conditions and road surfaces may affect results.

"The performance of the 2020 Stingray has far exceeded our expectations," said Alex MacDonald, Chevrolet vehicle performance manager. "Moving more weight over the rear wheels helps us get off the line quicker, but it’s the integration between the powertrain and chassis that really takes the performance to new levels."

This groundbreaking performance is achieved through a formula of rear weight bias, tire technology, aerodynamics, chassis tuning and of course, the powertrain. The 6.2L LT2 Small Block V8 engine and 8-speed dual-clutch transmission are in many ways the stars of the show.

The LT2 is the only naturally aspirated V8 in the segment and is SAE-certified at 495 hp and 637 Nm of torque when equipped with performance exhaust, making it the most-powerful entry Corvette ever.

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe and convertible are available to order at certified Chevrolet dealerships nationwide.
