Chevrolet announced on Friday that it will build a limited run of 500 units of a special 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe named the Premiere Edition, with all units being top-of-the-line 3LT models. With this model, GM will basically kick off production of the 2014 Corvette Stingray.
All limited-run editions feature a Laguna Blue Tintcoat exterior with a Brownstone suede interior along with a suede-wrapped interior trim and carbon fiber packages.
On the outside, distinctive elements include a visible carbon fiber roof, variable tuned performance exhaust system and the Z51 Performance Package with Magnetic Selective Ride Control.
Unique extras include “stinger” hood stripe, “Stingray”-logo interior sill plates and wheel caps and even a custom Corvette-branded luggage from Thule. Chevrolet says all Premier Edition models will have a unique vehicle identification number (VIN) starting with 300001, as well as an exclusive dash plaque to remind owners they drive a special Corvette.
There are no changes under the hood where you will find the standard 6.2-liter, 455-horsepower LT1 V8 engine.
