Chevrolet Corvette C5
The interesting fact - in Corvette Convertible for the first time since 1962 is provided an automatic drive of a soft roof, and that only as an option. Operated one key, it puts and displays an awning for 18 seconds. It would seem, what new it is possible to think up in already hackneyed technology of soft top? Everything, that could, have already developed and have introduced, and the collapsible rigid top “gains in strength” more and more. But also here there was a space for improvements - the new roof was developed taking into account that in the spread out kind to achieve the least factor of aerodynamic resistance. The result impresses - only 0,28. The awning is executed from the five-layer material Twillfast providing raised wear resistance . On a choice it is offered three colours of an awning - black, grey and beige. Representatives of mark have underlined, that the cabriolet body was developed taking into account that controllability and comfort of the open and closed versions in any way did not differ. Also have special stuck out that circumstance, that in cabriolet salon at the lifted top very silently even on high speed. In the technical plan the cabriolet from a compartment differs nothing - the same 400-strong V8 (the twisting moment - 540 Nanometers!), the same transmissions - six-step manual Tremec G56 or four-stage “automatic machine” HydraMatic. As a variant elektronno-operated suspension MagnaRide is possible. Production will begin in the end of summer then Corvette Convertible will appear on sale in States. Europe should wait to the middle of autumn.
