2014 Corvette Stingray Comes to Gran Turismo 5: New Screenshots & Video Released

Gran Turismo 5 January 14th, 2013 by Jordan

Song: The M Machine – Immigrants

The all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray is the talk of the automotive world today after it was first officially unveiled to the public at a special event last night, and Gran Turismo 5 players will be the first to drive the car, finally free of its camouflage.

The Stingray will produce an estimated 450 horsepower and 450 ft. lbs. of torque, is capable of accelerating from 0-60 in less than four seconds and will achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. It will also be the most fuel efficient Corvette ever, exceeding the EPA estimated 26 mpg of the current model.

During the creation of the virtual Corvette Stingray, careful attention was paid to each detail of the new design inside and out, all the way down to the shift schedule for the 7-speed manual transmission.

“The Polyphony team has had an unforgettable experience getting to know the Corvette Stingray, inside and out, and bringing it into Gran Turismo 5,” said Kazunori Yamauchi. “We’re excited to share our experience with fans and let them feel, explore and drive the Corvette in a way that wasn’t possible until now.”

As reported in the press release, over half a million people have downloaded the camouflaged prototype version of the car since it was first revealed in the game last November.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray will be available as a free download from the PlayStation Store starting Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

    It has been promoted as “0.99 euros” on front page (french PSN), but once clicked, it’s a free download. Unable to install in-game because of server maintenance. Strange timing…

      I’m kind of shocked that they’d be stupid enough to release a car just before the servers go down for maintenence.

      I hope this sorts itself out pretty soon.

      Same here. Just downloaded it from UK store, but can’t connect to GT servers to get on the DLC page of the game.

      Maintenance is due to be done at 10:00 anyway, so it’s not too bad.

      But still, way to kill the excitement of a new release huh

    I hope it has a race modify like the other Corvettes. Keep in mind, this Corvette that they unveiled is only the entry level version. They aren’t showing the ZR1 replacement version until later this year. The car will be beast, it’s suppose to have upwards of 700 bhp

      A race-modification option on this car would be incredible

    Just a point, as I’m in the UK and it’s 5.20pm here, I’ve gone to the horrible redesigned store to find nothing as yet, but is it not up to the people at the store to update things like they do weekly? But if so, isn’t the UK store refresh a Wednesday/Thursday?
    That would be rubbish if we all had to wait for the store to be updated…
    However, after reading that it will be available in Switzerland at 9pm, I hope that after 8pm here we can grab the car from the store.

    And so we wait.

      Same here mate. I’m in UK too & nothing yet. I agree with you on the design of the store too. It’s terrible & takes twice as long to find anything.

      Yeah, the new ps store sucks!

      It’s 545am here in Oz and the GT add-ons show 16(up from 15) but, no car as yet.

    • January 15th, 2013 at 2:17 pm - #
      Mr Nerv

      Yeah, as it’s never taken in to account that there are obvious time differences if it is released at the same time, someone will sadly miss out, whether they are at work or asleep, and have to sadly wait. I always think that any download should be released globally by time zone, then everyone gets what they want on the same day…

    The only real problem is that with those tail lights it does kind of look like a Camero from behind. Corvette could fix that so easily though. They could just fill part between the tail lights with more of the red tail light cover. They could just join them together to make them rectangle shaped and it would look sweet.

    PS Store still hasn’t updated, to think I came home at lunch for this, lol
