Corvette\u2019s structure is built around its backbone: the center tunnel. This enables a light, stiff structure to serve as the foundation for the suspension system to perform in an optimized manner. By removing unwanted body compliance, Corvette customers will experience the ultimate in ride performance with outstanding lateral grip capabilities. The car has a solid, connected-to-the-road feel with minimal vibrations at high speeds or on long road trips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The tunnel-dominant approach offers many advantages, including:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Improved torsional rigidity with a solid, connected feel on both the road and track.<\/li>\n
- Outstanding ingress\/egress for a mid-engine vehicle. Unlike some competitors, there\u2019s no need for oversized rocker panels to bear structural and load weights, making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle.<\/li>\n
- Excellent stability due to a low center of gravity and outstanding handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n- \n
- Preservation of Corvette\u2019s beloved standard removable roof panel, which can easily be stored in the rear trunk.<\/li>\n
- A front storage compartment that can fit an airline-spec carry-on and a laptop bag.<\/li>\n
- Availability in both left- and right-hand-drive variants \u2014 a first for Corvette.<\/li>\n
- Smart packaging with improved cabin comfort, including an additional inch of rearward seat travel and almost double the reclining angle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/2020-Chevrolet-Corvette-Stingray-061.jpg\")
<\/p>\nThe 2020 Stingray\u2019s heart is Chevy\u2019s next-generation 6.2L Small Block V-8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V-8 in the segment. It will produce 495 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque when equipped with performance exhaust \u2014 the most horsepower and torque for any entry Corvette. The LT2 has been designed to deliver excellent low-end torque and high-end power.<\/p>\n
For the first time ever, the base Stingray will use an engine-mounted dry sump oil system and three scavenge pumps for improved track performance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/fb-corv2020.jpg\")
<\/p>\nDuring serious track driving, oil volume remains high to avoid diminished performance. The new Stingray\u2019s lateral capability is greatly improved, so the LT2\u2019s dry sump lubrication system had to be redesigned to provide exceptional engine performance even at lateral acceleration levels exceeding 1G in all directions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nA lightweight, 3.2mm-thick glass panel on the rear hatch allows owners to show off the engine. This panel features a cantilevered trailing edge to evacuate heat from the LT2 engine compartment.<\/p>\n
Other notable engine characteristics include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Jewel-like setting in the rear compartment, visible through the rear glass hatch.<\/li>\n
- Every part, including the exhaust system\u2019s wires, tubes, routing fasteners, coolant hoses, exhaust manifold and even the bolts and fasteners, is built with appearance in mind. All engine components were given careful consideration just like the exterior, and even the heat shields are textured.<\/li>\n
- A brand-new block and vent system. The centerline of the crankshaft sits an inch lower to the ground where it mates to the transaxle for better handling.<\/li>\n
- Low-profile oil pan that reduces mass.<\/li>\n
- Oil cooler capacity increased by 25 percent.<\/li>\n
- Standard edge Red valve covers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nTransmission<\/strong><\/p>\n
Paired with Chevrolet\u2019s first eight speed dual-clutch transmission, the transmission is uniquely designed with\u00a0TREMEC\u00a0to provide the best of both worlds: a spirited, direct connected feeling of a manual and the premium driving comfort of an automatic. The double-paddle de-clutch feature even allows the driver to disconnect the clutch by holding both paddles for more manual control.<\/p>\n
