The essential Corvette.

Corvette coupe has carved a permanent niche into the global automotive landscape, defining freedom and state-of-the-art technology. It boasts a standard 430-hp LS3 aluminum block V8 good for 190 mph on the test track. A standard removable roof panel can be stowed in seconds for open-air driving. Engage the road with a standard short-throw six-speed transmission with launch control or an available six-speed paddle shift automatic for precise, clutchless shifting without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

  2012 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe - 190 MPH track speed, also gets 26 MPG highway!


2012 Chevrolet Corvette comes with a 100,000 mile 5-year Powertrain warranty


190 mph on the track, 26 MPG on the hwy.

The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe hits 190 MPH on the test track and gets 26 MPG on the highway With its standard 6.2 Liter LS3 aluminum block V8 engine and a favorable power-to-weight ratio, Corvette coupe performs like a thoroughbred. The coupe also boasts an excellent drag coefficient of .286.
  • Top speed of 190 mph and a 0-to-60 time of 4.2 seconds on the test track
  • 26 MPG highway(4) with no gas-guzzler tax
  • Better highway fuel economy than many six-cylinder sports cars including BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK350 and Porsche 911 Targa 4S


Launch control: putting power to the pavement

For those who like to compete in club-sanctioned closed-course track events, launch control is standard with the short-throw six-speed manual gearbox. It modulates engine rpm to lay the power down more smoothly while providing consistent acceleration times on the test track.


A coupe with the advantages of a convertible
Get the exhilaration of an open-air convertible with the standard removable roof panel. It's easy to handle and stores conveniently in the rear cargo area. A transparent roof panel is also available. Or you can order an available Dual Roof Package with both solid and transparent roofs. The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe comes equipped with a removable roof panel


Dial up your suspension
The available Magnetic Selective Ride Control, available on select models, stiffens suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city driving and freeways. Here's how it works. 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. There are two cockpit settings: "Tour" and "Sport." This option also includes larger, crossed-drilled brake rotors.

Safety - the most important measure of performance

2012 Corvette safety features
Corvette is engineered for safety before, during and - thanks to OnStar - after a collision.
  • Active Handling and 4-wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control to help avoid accidents in the first place.
  • Standard run-flat tires enable safe function during and after loss of pressure for some distance at a moderate speed until the tire can be repaired.
  • Standard high intensity discharge xenon headlamps shed 900 lumens of light onto the road for excellent visibility.
  • Frontal and side-impact air bags(12) help protect you in the event of a collision.
OnStar®(6) with Directions & Connections® Plan and Automatic Crash Response uses built-in sensors that can automatically alert an Advisor, who is immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location - even if you're unable to respond. Standard for the first six months.
