Go deep into the features that make Corvette a world-class sports car.
If 2008 is the year you've decided to make your dream of Corvette ownership come true, congratulations. Whether you choose Corvette Coupe, Corvette Convertible or the awesome 505 hp Corvette Z06, you'll be driving one of the world's great sports cars. The performance is amazing, with the new 430 hp LS3 small-block V8 that's standard on Coupe and Convertible this year. Corvette also offers a higher level of refinement for 2008, in the form of the available Custom Leather Wrap interior. Factor in that dramatic, unmistakable Corvette styling, razor-sharp handling and some of the most advanced engineering in the sports car world and you've got something unique. A car that's blisteringly fast. And one that's well worth waiting for. The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette.
New for 2008, the LS3 small-block V8 pumps out 430 hp - 436 with the available dual-mode exhaust system - making it the most powerful standard Corvette engine ever. Want even more? Corvette Z06's 7.0L LS7 V8 generates 505 hp - the most of any production Corvette engine in history.
Specify the newly available Custom Leather Wrap interior and you'll surround yourself in premium two-tone leather on the instrument panel, door panel uppers, console cover and perforated sport seat surfaces. It's available on all models along with heated Sport bucket seats and power 6-way driver and passenger seats.
Corvette offers you a choice of transmissions, both with 6 forward gears. The standard unit is a short-throw manual gearbox that delivers crisp, positive gear changes, and there's also an available automatic transmission with paddle shifters for tap-up/tap-down control that's been fine-tuned for 2008 for even faster on-demand shifts.
Using a technology first developed for use on fighter jets, Corvette's standard Head-Up Display (HUD) projects key driving information like speed and engine rpm onto the windshield, where you can take it in without ever taking your eyes off the road.
With Corvette Convertible, becoming one with nature is quick and effortless. The standard power roof lowers in just 18 seconds and tucks away under a hard tonneau cover for a clean, stylish top-down appearance.
