If you are looking for a machine that delivers supercar-grade performance without asking for half a million dollars, your options don’t get better than the 2025 Corvette Stingray. It offers a powerful V8 engine, a dual-clutch transmission, and several other exciting features that are waiting to come alive during a test drive.
4 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Corvette Stingray
Tarmac-Shredding Power
A 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 propels the Corvette Stingray, producing a vigorous 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The engine is designed to give you competitive lap times, incorporating a dry-sump scavenge system, eight 210 mm intake runners, and numerous other track-focused features. Power delivery is managed by an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that provides engaging manual shifts that happen in just a hundred milliseconds.
You can amp up the engine’s output to 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque by adding the available Performance exhaust, which is included in the Z51 Performance Package. This allows the sports car to hit 60 mph in a frantic 2.9 seconds and reach a blistering top speed of 194 mph.
Extremely Maneuverable
Bends and corners pose no threat to the Corvette Stingray’s performance. The sports car features near-perfect weight distribution, which is achieved by a skillfully engineered chassis and a mid-mounted engine. This makes steering more predictable and adds plenty of weight over the rear wheels, giving the RWD sports car an advantage when powering through a sharp turn.
The Stingray’s handling capabilities can be further enhanced with the available Z51 performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The innovative suspension system incorporates an adaptive damping system that adjusts the shocks in just 10 milliseconds and a magnetorheological suspension fluid that becomes rigid in an instant.
Looks Like a Million-Dollar Supercar
The Stingray’s exterior design is reminiscent of million-dollar European supercars. It features a low profile, a sculpted body, and an aggressive rake stance, all of which improve the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency. The front fascia features angular LED headlights and a bumper-mounted grille with flanking vents. Meanwhile, the side profile is defined by large air intakes, sculpted doors, and stylish 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels.
Driver-Focused Interior
The Stingray’s interior is built around the driver, featuring two GT1 bucket seats, a digitized dashboard, and a steering wheel with mounted controls. A 12-inch reconfigurable digital gauge cluster displays driving information, while an 8-inch center touchscreen provides infotainment. An available head-up display projects speed, g-forces, lap times, and many other metrics onto the windshield, keeping important performance data within the driver’s line of sight.
