Chevrolet has announced that the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible will make its international debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show which takes place on 5 March. The Corvette Stingray convertible will combine the same technology, design and performance as the coupe variant which was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in January this year.

“It’s fitting to introduce the new Stingray convertible on the global stage at Geneva because Corvette is the face of Chevrolet the world over,” said Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe. “It is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it’s never officially been offered.”

Chevrolet will auction the first retail production model of the Corvette Stingray convertible at the Barret-Jackson Palm Beach collector car auction which will benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. The Barret-Jackson auction will be held on 4-6 April 2013 at the South Florida Fairgrounds in Palm Beach.

“Every Corvette is designed at the outset as an open car,” said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. “The new Stingray is no different, with the coupe and convertible designed to excel in any situation – be it your daily commute, a drive across the continent, or charging through twisting back roads.”

Further details of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible will be made available when the Geneva Motor Show kicks off on 5 March 2013.
