A special-edition Corvette Stingray will make an appearance wearing “Gran Turismo” livery, commemorating the game's 15th anniversary. It features a custom blue paint scheme with graphics, yellow-tinted headlights, carbon fiber rear wing, carbon fiber hood, ground effects kit, custom exhaust tips, tow hooks, custom front grille, custom sport seats, racing harnesses and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

Chevy's 6.2-liter LT1 will power the Vette, making 460 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Take it with a grain of salt... likely a journalist's typo.

That's what I believe as well. Nonetheless, notice what appears behind the rear wheel looks like the edge of carbon fiber splitter C6R /C7R style. Today - tonight when pictures start popping up I will be interested to see.

Also from the Stingray stable comes the Convertible Atlantic concept. One part of a pair of coastal-themed concepts, the Atlantic comes in Blade Silver, which Chevy says is meant to call to mind a private jet. The front splitter, rocker extensions and lower diffuser are covered in Carbon Flash Metallic.

Accessories include chrome five-spoke wheels, molded splash guards, wheel center caps with Stingray script, custom luggage and an embroidered center armrest with the Stingray logo. The LT1 provides power and it's paired to a six-speed automatic.



As a counterpoint to the Atlantic concept, Chevy is also revealing the Pacific concept, inspired by West Coast culture (?—ED.). The Torch red Corvette gets the Z51 package, meaning a dry-sump oiling system, enhanced cooling and braking systems and an electronic limited-slip differential in the rear. The concept gets a number of accessories, including 20-inch, satin black wheels.

Probably believe the car has two brake pedals.

Only the blue has the piece behind rear wheel, the rocker extensions are different as well.

And it appears that the blue car has a completely different front splitter and front grille. Even the hood vent is different as is the rear deck spoiler.

The third Corvette Stingray concept Chevy is presenting is the Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo concept, which has been influenced by the popular racing sim it's named after. This concept will in fact be featured in Gran Turismo 6 which goes on sale in just a few weeks.
Not only does it feature a custom paint job and yellow-tinted headlights, it also comes with a carbon fiber rear wing, a vented hood, a functional body kit, a custom grille and front tow hook, racing harnesses in the cabin, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

No changes have been made to the powertrains of these concepts, which isn’t a problem since the cars offer up a minimum of 460 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque straight out of the box.
