The new Corvette Stingray is expected to hit showrooms by October 2013. Truly an all-new sports car, the new 'C7' Corvette Stingray is on a new super-strength, ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis that is nearly 100 lbs. lighter and 57 percent more rigid than the 'C6' Corvette platform. The latest 6.2 liter LT1 small-block V8 is all new as well, producing 450 hp at 6000 rpm and 450 lb.-ft. of torque at 4600 rpm.

Combined with forged aluminum pistons, custom forged crankshaft, high-flow cylinder heads, intercooler, a stainless ports exhaust system, a high-performance fuel system, and an ECU, the twin turbo HPE800 pushes 800 bhp.
