2022 Chevy Corvette
Few things in life are as thrilling as sitting in the driver’s seat of a Chevy Corvette, and now that Chevy’s most iconic sports car has a mid-engine layout, it joins ranks with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini for street-legal performance that can switch just as seamlessly to the track. For 2022, Chevy is gifting buyers the opportunity to enjoy a new special edition IMSA GTLM Championship Edition and celebrates the Corvette’s history of racing. In fact, in its eighth generation, the 2022 Chevy Corvette has a lot to celebrate now that it delivers mind-bending speed and acceleration with the kind of agility you only get from mid-engine traction.
A driver-centered design creates a cocoon of comfort that can be your zone of focus for serious performance or for a relaxed ride on winding roads away from it all. Wrapped in leather, showcasing the gorgeous power of the one and only 6.2-liter LT2 V8, and poised with the capability to shift the ‘Vette’s personality to suit your mood, Chevy has masterfully crafted a machine worthy of any professional driver; and yet, it’s affordable for the everyday individual. Whether you love driving in the closed environment of the insulated cabin or prefer the open-air driving offered with both the removable hardtop in the coupe or the retractable convertible, owning the 2022 Corvette means you don’t have to compromise anything.
Even with its powerful V8 engine, fuel economy is still incredibly good at 16 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, and a generous list of features comes standard with every trim level. What’s more, the 2022 ‘Vette makes every driver look good with its active stability and traction control to help maintain the power at your fingertips, keeping the car on the road and cornering with precision. You can make the 2022 Corvette your daily driver with its surprisingly large cargo capacity, equal to some compact cars, and certainly large enough to toss a couple of golf bags in the trunk for a day on the course or luggage for a weekend getaway. Wherever you go, expect heads to turn.

Performance
Fun. Fierce. Exciting.
The undeniable sound of the 6.2-liter LT2 is good enough to give most people goosebumps when heard in close proximity. Being able to see the sculpted beauty of the mid-engine as it revs up before being unleashed is a priceless endowment offered only to those who choose the coupe body, its rear-hatch window showcasing the LT2 like a work of art. Regardless of whether you opt for the coupe or the convertible—a choice few sports cars with this kind of capability offer—the 2022 Corvette still delivers on performance. Dual intakes in the front fascia serve to pull air into the engine chamber for cooling and also to give the face of your car a serious expression that means business.
With the LT2 engine, you get a maximum of 490 horsepower rumbling behind your seats, bolstered by 465 lb-ft of torque that increases to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft with the Z51 package, available on any body style or trim. The dual-clutch automatic transmission utilizes eight speeds delivered to the rear wheels that see improved zero to 60 times when equipped with the Z51 performance enhancements. Capable of hitting speeds up to 194 mph, the standard limited-slip differential aids in maintaining control. Figure in the ride quality of the available Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and the 2022 Corvette actively absorbs road chatter as well as the finest luxury sedan.
Drive modes create the option to personalize the experience behind the wheel for any number of circumstances, from weather conditions to the track, and daring drivers can customize their own performance with Z Mode that links to a steering wheel-mounted control. Each drive mode affects performance through changes to the throttle, brakes, steering, and automated systems onboard to vary the way the 2022 Corvette connects with the pavement and handles on curves. For drivers who enjoy keeping tabs on their performance records, a Performance Data Recorder allows video and audio recordings of your track times, a safety feature for recording when someone else is behind the wheel, and a touring mode for taking video of scenery on laid-back drives.
Technology
Owning a 2022 Corvette means you get to enjoy all the conveniences modern life can provide. Standard features like a ten-speaker premium Bose sound system, a 12-inch digital driver display, and an HD touchscreen in the center stack are all part of the exceptional experience of driving such a finely-tuned machine. Enjoy connectivity everywhere you go with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 4G hotspot for using devices without having to drain data, and even HD radio for high-quality sound. Dual-zone climate control and GT1 seats define the comfort of the cabin rich in quality stitched leather.
The Performance Data Recorder
Ranging into the second and third trim levels opens up the available features to include tech features like a digital rearview camera mirror, wireless charging, and a universal home remote for the convenience of daily driving. The Performance Data Recorder can be added to any trim for buyers who want the option of recording track data or even as an added security measure in case you leave your vehicle in the care of another driver for a time. As an extra convenience, Chevy gives the Performance Data Recorder a feature that allows for the front end to lift so you can avoid scraping on the base of ramps or going over speed bumps, and the system learns to track frequent places you drive so it can automatically raise the front end, so you don’t have to remember.
Interior Tech
For comfort on chilly days, it stands to reason that heat for the seats and steering wheel are part of the available features past the entry-level trim, plus the option for ventilated seats is also available. On-board navigation can help make taking longer trips simpler, and parking duty can be aided with the use of a camera system that not only gives rear views of the Corvette but also front views so you can be certain your car is safely parked. Within the cockpit of the 2022 ‘Vette, expect all the dials and buttons you need for performance to be well within reach, and all are fairly intuitive to utilize when the time arises. Of course, a head-up display is part of the expected tech you can count on in upper trims to help keep the driver’s eyes on the road while you take your ‘Vette out for a drive.
Design
The Z51 Performance Package
When you want to stretch the performance possibilities of the 2022 Corvette, one of the easiest ways is to add the Z51 Performance package. Any trim can add this package to either available body style, and the enhancements are well worth the upgrade. Starting from the ground up, the Z51 package provides a performance-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes for improved stopping power, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires for more “stickiness” on the pavement. The limited-slip rear differential that comes standard on the Corvette is upgraded to an electronically-controlled feature for better traction, and the stability control system is also upgraded to match the improved capability of the package.
In congruence with the upgraded capability for road contact, the Z51 package improves the aerodynamics with a front splitter and rear spoiler that help the Corvette cut through the air. Finally, the icing on the cake is the upgraded cooling system that ensures your high-performance engine utilizes incoming air to keep temperatures down and speeds high for track use. With this package employed, expect the 2022 Corvette to achieve its best zero to 60 times of 2.9 seconds.
The Championship Edition
Up to 1,000 units of the Championship Editions are expected to be built, and this special edition includes features that celebrate the Corvette’s history of racing. Carbon Flash trim highlights the high-wing spoiler, Black Trident wheels and black side rockers contrast brilliantly against the yellow brake calipers, and the gray and yellow cabin details speak to the racing-inspired theme. Graphics dedicated to the racing history of the Corvette come in either yellow or gray, which will vary depending on which of the two base colors you choose for your 2022 Corvette.
