2014 Chevrolet Corvette wins Autoweek Best of the Best/Car award
By: Autoweek editors on 12/12/2013
The Corvette beat two other stout new cars, the Mercedes-Benz S550 and Jaguar F-Type. We haven't exactly been shy about our lust for Chevrolet's seventh-generation two-seater. Corvette engineers were charged with developing a car that would exceed expectations of the Corvette faithful, one that would also be the greatest performance car for the dollar on the planet. Oh, and they were also told to make sure it's good enough to compete around the world. The team succeeded.
First, some quick stats: The new Corvette is about an inch longer than the outgoing model. While styling is new, there's no mistaking that it's a Corvette. The C7's mighty 6.2-liter V8 develops 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. It is direct injected and features cylinder deactivation, a Corvette first. You can get a Tremec seven-speed manual, with active rev matching for upshifts and downshifts, or a six-speed automatic.
