It's the driving experience uncovered. Drop the top in a Corvette Convertible and cast an ever-in-motion backdrop to your journey.
Corvette defines freedom among luxury sports cars with state-of-the-art technology and sleek, modern style. For 59 years, Corvette has elevated the standard of excellence among sports cars and earned its position as an icon. With advancements in performance and design, the 2012 Corvette Convertible raises the stakes.
Precision and excellence define Corvette Convertible, from its standard 430-horsepower LS3 all-aluminum V8 engine to its 26-MPG-highway4 fuel efficiency. Along with a refined interior and more options for personalization, the 2012 Corvette Convertible stands to reflect unparalleled distinction. Yours.
Drop the top and experience the physical sensation of cutting through the air with speed and precision. Select either the standard manual top or the available power top that lets you raise the roof in 18 secondes without leaving the driver seat. And even with the top down, you can take advantage of the enclosed trunk space for weekend-getaway luggage or two golf bags.
Rounded fenders and dynamic lines are classic Corvette design elements that have been the foundation of its exterior design for nearly 60 years. Celebrate classic Corvette roots with the exclusive-for-2012 Carlisle Blue exterior color option, or honor its heritage with Carbon Flash Metallic exterior color, available only with the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition.
When the top is down in a Corvette Convertible, there's nothing separating you from the open air and raw natural light. The world is your interior in the mere 18 seconds it takes for the convertible's roof to drop and stow away with the available power top—all without ever leaving the driver's seat.
The Corvette Convertible interior has been refined for greater driving support and comfort. The new seat design includes larger bolsters on the seatback and cushion areas for increased support, especially in high-performance driving, but greatly welcomed for day-to-day driving. Optional sueded microfiber seat inserts complement the new design even further, as does the revised steering wheel featuring model-specific badges, streamlined switch trim, wrapped spokes, better hand placement and thumb grips.
No detail was overlooked in order to create the most luxurious Corvette Convertible interior to date. Padded center console and armrests on all models soften the interior, while the added visual touch of contrasting color stitching—in red, blue and yellow—is available with the Custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package with sueded microfiber on the 4LT trim level.

Just put your hands on the wheel and your foot to the floor. Corvette Convertible with launch control will do the rest. Included with the short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox, it modulates engine rpm in competitive mode to lay the power down more smoothly while providing consistent acceleration times on the test track. It's a feature for those who like to compete in club-sanctioned closed-course track events, but may just tempt others to start.
Stiffen suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city and highway driving with available Magnetic Selective Ride Control™, also included with the Chevrolet Centennial Edition. An electromagnetic coil resides inside each damper piston. When an electrical current is applied—variably controlled by a microprocessor—ferrous particles in the shock fluid instantly bond, making the fluid more flow resistant, effectively stiffening the shock's damping. Conversely, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows more freely, allowing easier suspension movement. Explore two cockpit settings—Tour and Sport.
Want the ultimate way to take possession of your new Corvette? Now you can take delivery of your new Corvette right on the floor of the National Corvette Museum (NCM) in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The experience includes a NCM Delivery Team tour of the nearby Corvette Assembly Plant and a VIP tour of NCM. Museum delivery is available to order through any Chevy dealer for an additional cost.
Individuality is a trademark of both Corvette and Corvette owners. And now more than ever, owners can personalize their 2012 Corvette Convertible by selecting the brake caliper color of their choice with the larger cross-drilled brakes—available in Dark Gray Metallic, Red, Silver and Yellow. Owners also have the option to select headlamp colors, available in gray, silver or black. This, along with extensive available dealer-installed Genuine Corvette Accessories, can make your convertible truly yours.
