Eccentric Styling Updates for 2016 Corvette

Chevrolet is undergoing some major updates in the shape of the entire Corvette lineup with new color options, style elements and technology. Two new paint finishes, Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat and Long Beach Read Metallic have been added to the car’s palette, while a new graphics kit can be had that leaves a section of the hood unpainted to show off the carbon-fiber weave underneath. New standard wheels have been fitted to every Stingray, while the Z06 has a new Blade wheel design option.

The new eccentric design packages that outfit the entire car with a cohesive theme are now available on 3LZ Corvette models equipped with Magnetic Ride Control, which can now be had without ordering the entire Z51 performance package. Buyers can now get the Spice Red package, the Jet Black Suede package or the Twilight Blue design package.

On the technology side of things, a new front-facing parking camera can now be ordered on 2LZ or 3LZ trim cars. As well, a “power-cinching” hatch or trunk lid has been added to make sure the rear cargo hold closes tightly.

Moving inside, the Stingray receives a new flat-bottom steering wheel, new two-tone GT seats and your choice of red or yellow contrast stitching     (on 3LT models). Inside the Z06, a new Brownstone interior color is available on 3LZ models.


Pricing for the 2016 Corvette and its new options has not been released yet.
