The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Coupe Convertible starts at about $69,500 and it’s worth every penny.
The Stingray is an American icon with staying power that has gained in the new year. Who wouldn’t want to drive one of the most consistent head turners in the car industry. When you are behind the wheel of a convertible Stingray, you know it and so does everyone else.
So let’s get down to the facts:
It’s got a 6.2-liter, V8 gasoline engine that generates a powerful 490 horsepower engine with 465 pound-feet of torque.
This eight-speed dual clutch transmission, two-seater has rear wheel drive and gets 16 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.
To get a sense of its unique identity, consider the colors that include torch red, ceramic matrix gray metallic and hypersonic gray metallic.
At the front of the car you get the signature v-shape of the hood, made stronger by the lights, which serve to support its powerful stance. The narrow black grill continues the same theme. All of it comes together to shape a powerful presence for the Corvette Stingray 2LT.
The rear of the car is compact, with a roof and trunk that is angled to minimize the drag as this car flies down the roadway.
The interior is designed to maximize the feeling of being in a cockpit where the driver is king. There is strong branding on the steering wheel and the infotainment system, which is easily accessible and easy to see. The leather accents are solid and feel like they have weight, like this car was designed for someone who loves cars and wants to drive one that is special.
I like the fact that the packages really add powerful details to this already amazing vehicle. The Corvette racing themed graphics package has Stingray R logos, a reference to its racing pedigree, including on the wheel center caps.
Inside there is a package that offers contoured cargo area liners with the “Jake” logo, another racing theme, and even all-weather floor liners with Jake logo.
For my money, this is an amazing car for 2022 that will make you want to drive it again and again.
