Chevrolet Corvette Swiss Edition, with sporty looks, arrives in Switzerland
US automaker Chevrolet has revealed a Swiss Edition of its Corvette sports car in Switzerland. Its deliveries will begin there later this year. As for the highlights, the premium four-wheeler has a head-turning look, a luxurious cabin, and an upgraded suspension setup. It draws power from a 6.2-liter V8 engine that puts out a maximum power of 482hp.
Why does this story matter?
The Swiss Edition of the Chevrolet Corvette offers better looks and improved ride quality as compared to the standard car. It should attract a lot of customers in Switzerland. However, it is unclear whether some units of the four-wheeler will arrive in India. If it does, it will be as a completely built unit and will raise the competition in the market.
The car is offered in six color options
Chevrolet Corvette Swiss Edition has a sloping roofline, sculpted bonnet, swept-back headlights, wide air dam, and a prominent front splitter. It gets two doors with air scoops, ORVMs, five-spoke wheels with a trident design shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and a sporty exhaust. The car is available in Black, Hypersonic Gray, Rapid Blue, Torch Red, Arctic White, and Amplify Orange shades.
It is fueled by a 482hp, 6.2-liter engine
Chevrolet Corvette Swiss Edition runs on a 482hp, 6.2-liter V8 engine linked to an 8-speed DCT gearbox. The car can sprint from 0-100km in 3.5 seconds. A front lift system, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, and an electronically-controlled limited-slip differential ensure better performance.
The vehicle gets GT2 competition seats
Chevrolet Corvette Swiss Edition has a luxurious cabin with two GT2 competition seats, auto climate control, a center console that divides the driver and passenger areas, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It houses a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system with support for the latest connectivity facilities. The safety of passengers is ensured by multiple airbags, among other features.
