What is the cost of a 6.2-litre V8 (now with 466 hp and 630 Nm) in our small little country? And how much differs in price compared to the main competitors?
It took Chevrolet to the Netherlands four months calculations, but they are finally so far that they have to be able to calculate what a Corvette is going to cost in the Netherlands. From € 124.995 euro you have a Corvette C7 Stingray coupe on the sidewalk, and for 3000 euro more (€ 127.995 euro) you may find yourself in a Corvette convertible, moving forward. The Corvette is to order at Nefkens in Amersfoort, which is exclusive Corvette dealer for the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, the crash–happy Corvette comes standard with the Z51 Performance package and Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which, according to Chevrolet the Netherlands means that you default in 4.2 seconds to 100 rams. This is remarkable because previously known was that in 3,8 seconds, the 96 should be able to reach. Anyway, the figures are subject to constant change: in the first instance would be the Stingray 450 hp, which soon became 455 hp with 610 Nm of torque and now they call even 466 hp and 630 Nm of torque. Who gets it yet? We have Corvette the Netherlands to request a statement but as yet no response received.
Anyway, the V8 is linked by default to the manual 7-speed with Active Rev Matching. Do you want a Stingray? The car is now on order. In January will the first copies of Amersfoort, but they are all coupes. The Convertible is from march to admire.
In order to give you a sense of what you for this money to similar cars can be ordered, we have a small list compiled, we are equally assumed to sporty coupes with similar performance. We also have the Camaro added since the same block as the Corvette. Additions are welcome in the comments!
