General Motors Co. said Friday the Stingray coupe, which debuted January in Detroit, will start at $51,995, and the Corvette Stingray Convertible will start at $56,995. Both prices are about $1,400 more than the 2013 models and include a $995 destination.
“The 2014 Corvette Stingray perfectly embodies Chevrolet’s mission to deliver more than expected for our customers,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing, in a statement. “The Corvette Stingray delivers a combination of performance, design and technology that very few manufacturers can match, and none can even come close for $52,000.”
The highly-anticipated seventh-generation vehicles feature an all-new small-block, LT1 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers an estimated 450-horsepower and achieve 0-60 in less than four seconds.
The vehicle's price tag can get a bit steeper if you want all the bells and whistles though. The Stingray coupe fitted with the major available options, as shown at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, would be $73,360.
Optional equipment includes a Z51 Performance Package for $2,800; leather-wrapped 3LT interior package for $8,005; and other luxurious features (look below for more information).

Stingray was last used four generations ago on the Detroit-based automaker’s generation 3 Corvette from 1968-82. The name was first used on the 1959 racing car and again for the second-generation Corvette from 1963-67.
