Chevrolet has updated its online configuration tool to include the 2021 Corvette Stingray, allowing prospective buyers to create their dream ride. The car manufacturer kept the changes for 2021 to a minimum, but there are some updates. For example, the mid-engined sports car receives two new colors in the form of Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic. There is also a new interior configuration of Sky Cool Grey/Yellow Strike as well as new racing stripes.
The configurator itself isn’t particularly
responsive and is quite slow to load once you make any changes. However, if you
have a little bit of patience, there are a plethora of options available to
make your perfect Corvette stand out from most others. We equipped ours with
the 3LT trim package, the Z51 Performance Package, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat
paint, and Carbon Flash-painted aluminum wheels.
Arguably the most significant update made
to the Corvette for 2021 is the fact that the Magnetic Selective Ride Control
suspension can be ordered separately and no longer needs to be coupled to the
Z51 Performance Package. Those that do opt for the Z51 pack, however, will also
receive a performance exhaust, performance brakes, an electronic limited-slip
differential, a unique rear spoiler, front splitter, heavy-duty cooling system
and high-performance tires.
Other upgrades for 2021 include standard
wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a new Driver mode on-screen
visualization and a new track digital tachometer. Prices for a 2021 Corvette
Stingray are identical to the 2020 model and start at US$ 59,995 for the Coupe and US$ 67,495 for the Convertible.
