The Chevrolet Corvette Swiss Edition arrives as a well-optioned version of the American sports car that's exclusively for buyers in Switzerland. The coupe is available in Black, Torch Red, and Amplify Orange for 119,300 Swiss francs ($128,887 at current exchange rates). Customers can get the convertible in Arctic White, Hypersonic Gray, and Rapid Blue 126,700 Swiss francs ($136,849).
The Corvette Swiss Edition comes full of options. Chevy only has a single image of it, though. The package includes the Magnetic Ride Control suspension and a front lift system. The sports car rides on five-spoke wheels with a trident design. They have a polished face and Spectra Gray details. The cabin includes the GT2 competition seats.
The powertrain remains stock. In Switzerland, the 6.2-liter V8 produces 482 horsepower (359 kilowatts) and routes to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. This gets the model to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.5 seconds.
All European models come with the Z51 performance package. It includes equipment like an upgraded suspension, sport exhaust, electronically controlled limited-slip differential, enhanced cooling system, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
If you're in Switzerland, it's possible to reserve the Corvette Swiss online by placing a 2,000 Swiss franc ($2,160) refundable deposit. Deliveries begin later this year. Customers can choose to take delivery at the first mobile Chevrolet and Cadillac showroom in Europe, which is at the Volkiland shopping center in Volketswil, Switzerland.
