2011 Chevy Corvette
A well-balanced package, The 2011 Chevy Corvette set a new refinement benchmark for modern sports cars and consequently garnered our Car of the Year award. Vague rumors of a sophisticated, high-performance machine that would build upon The 2011 Chevy Corvette legend fueled our investigation. Unfortunately, the Corvette team has been well-coached in media interrogation tactics, making it difficult to gain much information through official channels. However, our unofficial sources have delivered many intriguing puzzle pieces that reveal significant portions of the current C6 plan. This is reminiscent of the transition from the ’63-’67 run to the curvaceous ’68-’82 series. It will be an evolution of the current-generation car whose development process began in the late ’80s.
The 2011 Chevy Corvette excels in many ways, from its well-mannered ride dynamics, to its ultra-slick powertrain performance and pleasantly livable, well-laid-out interior. And sales have boomed.
As with past 2011 Chevy Corvette and special editions, the existing car will bear that honor, ushering in the C6 powertrain and a few leading-edge technologies. We had expected a tribute color scheme of Polo White with a red interior to adorn a limited run of convertibles honoring the 300 original ’53 roadsters. However, several sources have indicated that a single-color gold treatment is likely, reminiscent of the Ruby Red 40th anniversary cars.
The exterior design will be slightly more daring, reflecting GM’s current willingness to accept styling risks. Combining both soft curves and machined edges, The 2011 Chevy Corvette will push the bold design aesthetic exhibited in the Chevrolet Avalanche and Evoq into a provocative, muscular form. Heritage cues will be more subtle than overt, reflecting Detroit’s current concern for dipping too deeply into the retro well. Enthusiasts favor futuristic over retro, based on MT Online polls, where harder-edged styling also garnered 2.5 times more support than more rounded at time of writing.
From the chiseled nose, muscular fender flares, and trim posterior, the C6 exudes street-dominating attitude. 
It has been postulated that a rear lip could be added to the rear to increase downforce, which the current car could use .Such a spoiler, however, has not been observed on coupe clay models, which exhibit a more rounded trailing edge than the current car.
The 2011 2011 Chevy Corvette benefit greatly from the advanced hydroforming frame-rail process first introduced on the C5. This clever innovation would permit the next platform to be built in two different lengths without introducing a significant number of additional welds or pieces.
The cleverly engineered chassis that made the C5 4.5 times stiffer than the C4 will permit engineers to fine-tune the shared platform to deliver the handling characteristics suitable to the crisper Chevrolet and cushier future Cadillac models. Active Handling will be tied in to an innovative ride system incorporating MagneRide shock absorbers. (Similar dampers are scheduled to be fitted to select upcoming Cadillac performance models.)
