Auto Expo Live - Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro showcased

GM India brought along the new Corvette and the Camaro ZL1 to the Auto Expo.

Chevrolet Corvette

The new Corvette is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine which produces 450 hp and 610 Nm of torque. This enables the supercar to hit 100 km/h from rest in 4 seconds. Transmission is aided by a newly developed 7-speed manual gearbox which features Active Rev Matching technology to match the engine's revs while upshifting/downshifting.

The Vette' gets a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel, composite materials for its fenders, doors and rear quarter panels, carbon-nano composite underbody panels and a new aluminum frame to reduce weight.
