GM Announces New Premiere Edition with Lime Rock Green Corvette Stingray Convertible
It was back in September that we learned that Chevrolet would be building a “Premiere Edition” Corvette Stingray Convertible to compliment the 500 Premiere Edition Coupes that were announced in June. Now, Chevy has officially announced the limited edition model and surprise, they are mixing things up a bit for the drop top.
Like the Coupe, the Corvette Stingray Premiere Edition Convertible is a top of the line 3LT with the Z51 performance package, variable tuned performance exhaust system and Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The Stingray Convertible is also outfitted with suede leather trim, carbon fiber accents, unique Stingray logo sill plates and the five-piece luggage branded with the Corvette logo.
Unlike the Coupe that was Laguna Blue, the Premiere Edition Corvette Stingray Convertibles are Lime Rock Green with the Brownstone interior. We are also unable to determine whether or not the Convertible has the Black Stinger hood graphic or if the hood is left untouched.
The Premiere Edition Corvette Stingray Convertible has an MSRP of $77,450 and there will only be 550 made. The special model has its own unique VIN sequence number and interior dash plaque.
Here are the pictures GM released on Tuesday showing the new Premiere Edition Corvette Stingray Convertible:
