Celebrating 65 Years of Over-The-Top Domination: The 2018 Corvette Carbon 65 Edition

In commemoration of Corvette's 65th anniversary, the newest 2018 Carbon 65 Edition will now be offered on current-model Grand Sport 3LTs, and the Z06 3LZ models as well. There will be only 650 of these numbered vehicles produced around the world, and this is going to be one automobile that any Corvette aficionado is not going to be able to wait to get their hands on. A new carbon-fiber rear spoiler as well as quarter ducts are two of the characteristics that will be noticed right away, as well as the awesome Ceramic Matrix Gray exterior color. As you are rapidly cruising down Dakota Avenue or Dartmouth Road, you're also gonna love the easy "grippiness" of the new carbon-fiber-rimmed steering wheel, and everything about the way this powerful machine will handle for you.

This is one of the brands in auto history that has truly become legendary, and there are simply not many others that can shake a stick at its prowess. The Carbon 65 honors just how awesome this classic car is, and gives anyone who wants to try out its raw power a chance to do so with extreme honor status. When you nab the Corvette with this package, you first score the ultra-cool ceramic matrix gray exterior, with some of them having a very tranquil yet menacing blue top.

The fender stripes and door graphics scream ability for pure road domination, and the darkly-cloaked black wheels with machined grooves paired with summer-only tires are ready for a speakeasy match on a deserted thoroughfare late at night. Carbon-fiber ground effects, hood section and roof, and quarter intake ducts are a few more features that you will enjoy with this very limited-edition keepsake, and proudly flaunt on any trek, long or short.

The center caps have a carbon logo, and as soon as you or your passengers step inside, you'll love the jet black suede-wrapped interior, with epic deep blue stitching, welcoming you to climb in and embark on a cruise. This exclusive package will run about $15,000 and will be available to complement the rest of the 2018 Corvette lineup during summer. The Stingray is going to turn many heads this year, as it will offer 19-inch and 20-inch rear wheels paired with tires that are meant to scorch the pavement only during the best months of the year: summer. You can even opt for magnetic ride control which is offered as a very special standalone choice for the model.

If the Grand Sport is the Corvette model that is really catching your eye, ceramic brakes are offered without the Z07 Performance Package, and a very menacing looking satin black center stripe is available with the Heritage Package. You get the standard killer-sounding HD digital radio on all 2018 models, as well as the very thorough Performance Data Recorder: the Cosworth Toolbox offers four additional data channels, individual wheel speeds, individual suspension displacements, as well as yaw rate and intake. If you are faced with the very common everyday act of backing out of a tight spot, the improved rear-view camera image features higher resolution than the last model, and a much wider angle.

The very first Corvette rolled out of the factory on June 30, 1953, in Flint, Michigan: there was a small number of only 300 built that year, and each of them sported the polo white color. This year is a perfect time to pay homage to what we believe is the most unique sports car brand on the planet, and come find us at West Chevrolet to see just how many fantastic features there are to catch your attention quickly.
