what's up guys this is aunt Wanda we're cnet.com we're on the floor of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in Geneva Switzerland and we're taking a look at well yet another Corvette well this one's different because as you can tell it's a convertible that means from the waist down it's pretty much the same Corvette that we saw revealed earlier this year 6.2 liter v8 450 horsepower 450 pound feet of torque lots of carbon fiber and pretty much all of the racing technology that GM could throw at this car but from the waist up you've got a retractable fabric soft top that you can actually drop at speeds up to 30 miles per hour that soft top uses three layers of fabric so you've got some sort of noise cancellation going on there and a glass rear window so you have to worry about it getting all fogged up inside of the Corvette you've got pretty much the same interior with the new instrument cluster that's all LED but you've also got a double hump tonneau cover that's going to cover up that tough top when it's not in use and a body colored waterfall sort of thing that's going on a felling element that flows between the two seats and just kind of added a little bit of color to the cabin James said that they didn't actually have to add any sort of chassis bracing to this vehicle to strengthen up the Corvette and that pretty much lets us know that it was designed from the ground up to be a drop top and that also lets us know that this vehicles got pretty much the same power-to-weight ratio and the hardtop coupe now which one you like better is gonna be a matter of styling but personally I kind of like the funky look of the coupe better but people who kind of bulk did that sort of weird black a pillar probably gonna like the styling of this one because it's a little bit more conventional to the previous generation Corvette we don't actually have any word as to when it's going to go on sale but with the next generation corvette coupe going on filled very soon we should expect this to be on the market shortly thereafter this has been antoine gue with cnet.com on the floor the 2013 Geneva Motor Show taking a look at the new Corvette Stingray convertible
