Child Safety
Winner of the 2011 Le Mans GTE Pro Category
Protect your child by installing a child seat engineered to survive crash forces. Unlike your arms, it’s the safest method available for child protection in a car accident. FIND THE RIGHT SEAT • Use an infant-only seat for infants up to 14 kg. Keep it rear-facing and semi-reclined. Be sure the harness comes from slots at or below the baby’s shoulders and is snug when buckled. • Use your convertible child seat in a forward-facing and upright position for toddlers and children between 14 and 30 kg. Be sure the harness straps are coming from above the child’s shoulders. • For children between 30 and 45 kg use a belt-positioning-booster seat. • Children over 46 kg must pass the safety-belt-fit criteria before wearing a normal car safety belt. • Knees should bend naturally at the edge of the seat. • The lap belt should sit low on the hips. • The shoulder part of the seatbelt should rest on the shoulder or collarbone. • The child should be able to maintain this position the length of your trip.
NEVER DO THIS
ALWAYS DO THIS
ALWAYS REMEMBER • Place all children under 13 in a back seat. • Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an airbag. • Use a child seat for all children until they can safely wear the adult seatbelt. • Be sure you have one seatbelt for every person. • NEVER place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back. • Be sure all child seats are locked into the car using the LATCH system or the seatbelt.

So with nothing to prove on the track, you have everything to experience on the open road.
TRACK RECORD: • Total races: 110 • Total wins: 78

A performance legend more than 50 years in the making, the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is among the most thrilling sports cars in the world. It boasts incredible performance thanks to a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 that puts out the most power of any standard Chevrolet Corvette engine in history. This power is complemented beautifully by refined color and trim choices, and a custom leather-wrapped interior package.

CONVERTIBLE
With 430 horses and 575Nm of torque, Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is one of the most powerful open-air sports cars on the landscape. The standard power roof lowers in just 18 seconds. Indexed side-window glass, a five-bow fabric top and a five-ply headliner help reduce buffeting and insulate against wind and road noise.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
6.2-liter displacement generates big-block outputs: 430hp (net) and 575Nm (net) of torque. The LS3 is the most advanced version of GM’s legendary small-block V8. Deep aerobic capacity, flow increases throughout and high-lift cam add to efficiency. Large bore helps generate more power and torque. Standard short-throw six-speed manual gearbox delivers crisp, positive gear changes. Available six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters provides fast on-demand shifts. F1-style paddle shifting puts total performance and control at your fingertips. Squeeze either of the 2 steering-wheelmounted paddles towards you and the available six-speed automatic transmission shifts down at lightning speed. The throttle adjusts automatically with each gear change, for smooth transitions. Push the paddle away and the transmission instantly shifts up, gear by gear. Chevrolet Corvette’s standard six-speed manual transmission is designed for minimal shift effort, flawless gate-to-gate location, totally positive feel and precise gear changes. Electronic key fob stows easily in your pocket.
The definitive driving environment
INTERIOR
Surround yourself in premium two-tone leather (Sienna/Ebony or Linen/Ebony) on the instrument panel, door panel uppers, console cover and perforated sport seat surfaces. Tilting/power telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls enhances control, comfort and convenience. Push-button start eliminates the need to handle a key. Head-Up Display (HUD) with street and track modes projects speed, engine rpm, g-force data, fuel levels and more on the windshield. Dramatic two-tone sport seats are available in a choice of Cashmere/Ebony (shown), Red/Ebony and Titanium/Ebony combinations. All head restraints are embroidered with the distinctive crossedflags Chevrolet Corvette emblem. The custom leather-wrapped interior package includes supple two-tone leather on the sport seat surfaces, instrument panel, door panel uppers, and console cover, all with contrasting stitching. The standard DVD-based navigation system includes a bright 165mm (6.5in.) color screen and a voice-recognition feature. The system can be configured to provide navigation information on-screen, verbally or via the Head-Up Display.
An iconic part of Chevrolet Corvette’s racing heritage, for 2012 the Grand Sport is available as a coupe and convertible. Taking the Chevrolet Corvette’s LS3-based powertrain, paddle-shifting six-speed transmission and removable coupe roof, and adding key components of the race-bred Z06, the Grand Sport brings racetrack-ruling performance to a road-ready sports car. An available Heritage Package adds iconic front fender hash marks, as well as two-tone seats with Grand Sport embroidery.

Where the racetrack meets the road
GRAND SPORT
Born in a race shop. Educated at Le Mans. No wonder the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ranks with the world’s best performance cars. Race-bred engine components. Dry-sump oil system. An engine built by hand at the GM Performance Build Center. And with 2.9kg per horsepower, the Z06’s power-to-weight ratio exceeds most supercars.
HAND-BUILT 7.0-LITER LS7 V8 • 505hp (net) 637Nm (net) of torque • Top track speed: 318km/h • Massive 355mm front and 340mm rear cross-drilled brake discs • Six-piston front, four-piston rear calipers • 0-100km/h: 3.7secs • Top track speed: 319km/h • 0.4km: 11.6secs • Braking: 34.4m

Natural born racer
ZO6
Pure racing DNA
ZO6
Body-hugging Z06-exclusive bucket seats feature perforated two-tone leather seating surfaces and Z06 embroidery. Cast aluminum flat-top pistons, titanium connecting rods, an 11.0:1 compression ratio and the highest-lift cam ever on a GM production small-block V8: just a few of the LS7 engine’s high-performance features. The Z06 was developed alongside the Chevrolet Corvette race cars that have won six consecutive American Le Mans Series Manufacturers’ Championships and taken the GT1 class at Le Mans five times. Z06’s massive 10-spoke aluminum wheels and extended mobility tires are the largest in Chevrolet Corvette history. Dual-mode exhaust system reduces noise output at idle and during moderate driving while providing reduced back pressure for race-car-like performance at higher rpm. At speed, the sound emanating from the four trumpet-shaped exhaust outlets is sensational.
