The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray uses a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine that produces 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission for lightning-fast shifts and smooth power delivery.

This mid-engine layout enables jaw-dropping performance: 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph. The engine strikes a balance of raw strength and precision handling that rivals European competitors.

For track-ready control, the available Z51 Performance Package includes a performance-tuned suspension, electronic limited-slip differential, and upgraded brakes. Markquart Motors can show you the Corvette Stingray and discuss which features suit your driving style. Call (715) 833-0444 today.
