2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Pacific Coupe

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Pacific Coupe

Chevrolet announced today the 2015 Corvette Stingray will be available in two new Design Packages: the Atlantic luxury convertible and the Pacific performance coupe. They go on sale later this year with the rest of the 2015 Corvette Stingray lineup. The Corvette Stingray Atlantic Convertible and Corvette Stingray Pacific coupe concepts were introduced last fall at the SEMA Show.

Track-focused Pacific Coupe The 2015 Corvette Stingray Pacific Design Package is inspired by West Coast drivers who attend weekend track events. It is offered exclusively as a Z51-equipped coupe, in 2LT and 3LT trims, with the following unique content:

- Color choices of Torch Red, Black, Arctic White, Blade Silver and Shark Gray – a new color for 2015

- Satin black full-length racing stripes

- Satin black Z51 wheels with red stripe and Stingray center caps 

- “CFZ” carbon fiber ground effects package and visible carbon fiber roof panel 

- Carbon Flash rear spoiler, outside mirrors and exterior badges 

- Red brake calipers 

- Competition Sport Seats in red or black 

- Carbon fiber interior trim, Stingray sill plates and Stingray floor mats 

- Custom splash guards and rear license plate frame 

- Indoor car cover (gray). 

As with other 2015 models, Corvette’s new Performance Data Recorder is available on the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as an all-new eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. A seven-speed manual transmission is standard. 

The Performance Data Recorder combines the ability to record and share drive videos with the power of a professional-level telemetry system. With included software, users can analyze their laps to improve their driving and lap times. The system includes a high-definition camera integrated into the interior’s rearview mirror assembly. 

The new paddle-shift eight-speed is designed to deliver world-class shift times that rival the best dual-clutch designs, and is expected to contribute up to 5-percent greater efficiency, when compared to the previous six-speed automatic. EPA estimates are pending.
