2014 Chevrolet Corvette: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette is a complete redesign that launches the seventh-generation C7 and brings back the Stingray name. Its headline change is an all-new aluminum-frame platform paired with a new LT1 6.2-liter V8.
About the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
C7 / 7th generation, first year (2014-2019).
Chevrolet positions the 2014 Corvette as a two-seat American sports car that does not force an owner to choose between big V8 performance and everyday usability. The core pitch is that this car can handle normal street driving, long highway trips, and track use in the same package. What separates it from many rivals is its naturally aspirated V8 character, light structure, strong handling, and a cabin that finally feels modern enough for daily use.
The Stingray is the everyday sports-car version, with the LT1 V8, five-mode Driver Mode Selector, dual 8-inch screens, and leather seating surfaces. The Stingray Z51 is the more track-focused version, adding stronger brakes, extra cooling, a performance-tuned suspension, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and high-speed aerodynamic hardware.

“Fun vehicle but definitely take it to a specialist to have it looked over! Bad tires on the car could've caused a fatal accident; it wasn't the tires it was the way the tires were put on by the company.”
“It's been incredibly fulfilling to own the car I have. I love going for spirited drives, taking it to car shows, or just a regularly short daily commute. It's always fun and I've never been happier.”
