It's a new Corvette! Yee, and indeed, haw...

Delve through the specification and at first glance it's business as usual for the C7 ‘Vette, this time tagged with the ‘Stingray' badge once again: big 6.2-litre pushrod V8, rear-drive, manual ‘box and transverse leaf sprung rear axle. It's left-hand drive only, but sold in the UK in ‘Z51' spec - more on that later - and weighs in at a very attractive £61,495 for the performance on offer.

In the USA, you can pick up a more basic version for $51,000 - though once you've added in taxes and the ‘drive away' extras, it's not quite as cheap as that figure suggests. All of this information proves to be both relevant and utterly misleading.
