In the coupe, the roof there just above the heads of the occupants can be removed (instructional video). In doing so, having the driver feeling is almost that of a genuine circular convertible.
The coupe is on sale from 85 606 euros and the convertible from 92 856 euros (all prices), with the less powerful engine available, 436 horses (there are two, 512 and 647 hp). In this article we focus on this version of 436 hp.
By price, the Corvette is closer to a BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG an Audi R8 and a Porsche 911. Now, by the style of its body, the Corvette is much closer to this second group of cars. It seems less refined than all previous, less luxurious and less attention to detail, but it is of poor quality.
The Corvette has several disadvantages when using it every day , no more than the normal cars are usually found in similar body . The lack of functionality is especially noticeable in town and when parking . Needs a lot of room to turn and at first , takes some getting used to its proportions. The lower part of the body has a piece of plastic that easily hits the ground (picture detail and more information) . Saving these aspects, the Corvette does not seem uncomfortable even for traveling because it is not very loud (in fact, safe to accelerate with intensity, the sound of the engine goes very unnoticed. Video with Sound Engine) and with the optional suspension adjusted at its minimum hardness , the bumps do not come very clearly to the occupants.
It has a very large trunk ( the official figure is 634 liters capacity) , although not very usable shapes (image) . Va devoid of fasteners to prevent heavy objects and can move into the car under braking . The trunk of the Corvette Convertible is much lower : has 295 liters of volume , stay-at 144 liters with the roof down .
Not just a powerful and flashy car . Chevrolet has made a fast car cornering and straight . Accelerates lot, is well supported in the corners, changes direction quickly and has good stopping power . It is very easy to take advantage of the 436 hp engine is very powerful because even at low RPM .
By their reactions , the Corvette seems more abrupt and difficult to drive than an Audi R8 and a Porsche 911 (I mean the new model, which I believe is nothing like the above) . It is more sensitive to the condition of the floor and traction is not as high . In the Corvette , as in the Mercedes - Benz SLS AMG , in order to win a lot of speed out of a slow corner you have to be very tactful when stepping on the gas , especially if the floor has good adhesion .
Details of the range and cost of insurance
The Chevrolet Corvette presented in this paper (model 2011) is not entirely new but is derived from that first commercialized in 2008 (more information) which itself was an update to hit the market in 2005 (more information).
Currently there are three different versions: "Grand Sport", "Z06" and "ZR1". The main difference is the engine. The Corvette Grand Sport carries a V8 petrol engine of 6.2 liters and 436 hp. The Corvette Z06 has a V8 engine of 7.0 liters and 512 hp, while the Corvette ZR1 carries a 6.2-liter V8 and 647 hp supercharged by a compressor.
All versions have a standard gearbox six-speed manual, but optionally automatic transmission can take the same number of relationships.
In our insurance comparator have made a calculation of minimum price for a blanket insurance policy for a Corvette Coupe 436 horses. The policy would be a 42 year old who has the card for 24 and has never had an accident. Lives in Madrid and single. The lowest price is offered by Mapfre, for 2025 euros, for only 40 euros there is a policy of the same company with the peculiarity that offers replacement car.
