2012 Chevy Corvette Updates and Upgrades

For the 2012 model year, the Chevrolet Corvette gets some minor performance, interior and feature tweaks. It will hit dealers late this summer.

All Corvette models get new seat designs and a new steering wheel. The seats have larger bolsters — suede seat inserts are now an option on some trims, too. New seat designs are a welcome update; the old seats were lumpy and flimsy, according to Cars.com editor Mike Hanley. A padded center console and armrests are now included on all 2012 models. A leather-wrapped interior, with contrasting color stitching, is also a new addition.

Chevy upgraded the optional Bose stereo, which now boasts nine speakers (over the previous seven). A new Technology Package combines navigation, head-up display, Bose stereo, Bluetooth and a USB port.

Performance tweaks are relegated to the high-performance Z06 and ZR1 trims. The Z06 is now offered with the Performance Traction Management system, which optimizes traction for greater consistency in racing conditions. Previously, the system was available only on the ZR1. The Z06 is now offered with a self-leveling suspension system called Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

Each trim can also be had with race-oriented Michelin tires that increase lateral acceleration by 8% and improve braking distances.

A carbon-fiber hood now available on the Z06 improves gas mileage by 2 mpg on the highway when the car is equipped with a manual transmission.

The 2012 Corvette goes into production in July and should be available at dealerships shortly afterward.

2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette Announced

Chevrolet will be producing a 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette to celebrate 100 years of Chevrolet:

Chevrolet, founded by a racing pioneer 100 years ago, celebrates its performance heritage with the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette, which features a sleek black color scheme, unique design elements and Corvette’s trademark sports car technology.

The 2012 Centennial Edition package will be available on all Corvette models – including Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 – starting this summer.

The special package was inspired by Chevrolet’s racing-bred foundation, which continues with Corvette’s international racing excellence and production sports car prominence.

The Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette expresses racing heritage, but does so with a sleek, modern, even sinister-looking appearance. The Centennial Edition package comes exclusively in Carbon Flash Metallic, with satin-black graphics and unique Centennial Satin Black wheels and red brake calipers. The wheels are constructed of lightweight cast-spun aluminum and include a thin red outline around the perimeter of its surface on the Z06. The wheels are specific to the respective Corvette models, including 18-inch/19-inch for Coupe, Convertible and Grand Sport; and 19-inch/20-inch for Z06 and ZR1.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension and a technology advance initiated by Corvette, is included on all Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette models.

The Centennial Edition also features special badges that signify Chevrolet’s racing history. A graphic logo featuring an iconic image of Louis Chevrolet appears on the B-pillars, the center caps of the wheels, and the center of the steering wheel. The seat headrests also carry an embossed centennial logo.

Aficionados will note one other small detail: The historic crossed flags badge contains a small adaptation, with “100” in place of the traditional fleur-de-lis symbol, only for the Centennial Edition.

The exterior color scheme is reinforced inside the car, with the Ebony leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors complimented by red stitching on the steering wheel, seats, console and shifter. Microfiber suede accents on Centennial Edition seats, steering wheel, shifter and armrests were first used on the 2011 Z06 Carbon Limited Edition.
