Corvette is an uncompromising sports car that offers impeccable performance and great comfort. The changes and enhancements to the 2008 Corvette reflect continual improvements that speak to Chevrolet’s unflagging commitment to building the best sports car – and with nearly 55 years of experience, the Corvette just keeps getting better and better. Corvette also offers a higher level of refinement for 2008, in the form of an available Custom Leather Wrapped interior. Factor in that dramatic, unmistakable Corvette styling, razor-sharp handling, and some of the most advanced engineering in the sports car world and you've got something unique.

A new, 6.2 liter LS3 small-block V-8 is the standard engine in Coupe and Convertible models. It is rated at 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque with the standard exhaust system. The LS3 with the six-speed paddle-shift automatic is the fastest automatic-equipped Corvette ever, with 0-60 mph capability in 4.3 seconds.

Dramatic fender forms and exposed headlamps combine with the grille to create a strong visual identity for the Corvette, while the tapered rear deck and fascia improve high-speed performance. Corvette’s interior is inspired by the car’s dual-cockpit heritage. High-quality materials, craftsmanship and functionality help deliver premium quality and enhance performance driving. The instrument panel and doors are covered in cast-skin foam trimmings, and look as if they are wrapped in leather and padded. This trim has double the life of conventional trim materials.
