Engine Specifications

Exterior Dimensions
The mid-engine footprint changes between narrow-body and wide-body cars, which affects both length and width.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Length (narrow body) | 182.3 in |
| Length (wide body) | 184.6 in |
| Width (narrow body) | 76.1 in |
| Width (wide body) | 79.7 in |
| Height | 48.6 in |
| Wheelbase | 107.2 in |
| Ground clearance | About 5 in |
Interior and Cargo Dimensions
The Corvette is a strict two-seater, and its cargo room is split between a front trunk and a rear compartment. Wide-body track cars give up some rear volume to the wider rear tires.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 2 |
| Total cargo volume | 12.6 cu ft (about 9.1 cu ft on wide-body track cars) |
| Fuel tank | 18.5 gal |
Wheels, Tires and Brakes
Tire compound and brake hardware step up with each model, from all-season grip on the E-Ray to track-focused Cup rubber and carbon-ceramic rotors higher up.
| Model | Wheels | Tires | Brakes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stingray | 19-in front / 20-in rear | Michelin Pilot Sport 4S | Brembo antilock discs |
| E-Ray | 20-in / 21-in | Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 | Standard carbon-ceramic |
| Z06 | 20-in / 21-in | Michelin Cup 2 (Cup 2R with Z07) | Steel discs standard; carbon-ceramic with Z07 |
| ZR1 | 20-in / 21-in | Pilot Sport 4S (Cup 2R with ZTK) | Standard carbon-ceramic |
| ZR1X | 20-in / 21-in | Track-focused performance tires | Standard carbon-ceramic, 16.5-in rotors, Alcon 10-piston front |
Fuel Economy
EPA figures reflect the demands of each engine, and the electrified E-Ray and ZR1X are self-charging hybrids with no plug and no MPGe rating. A single north-south corridor carries most regional traffic, so real-world fuel economy is lived on the highway, not just quoted on a spec sheet.
| Model | EPA city / hwy / combined |
|---|---|
| Stingray | 16 / 25 / 19 mpg |
| E-Ray | 16 / 24 / 19 mpg |
| Z06 | 12 / 21 / 15 mpg |
| ZR1 | 12 / 18 / 14 mpg |
EPA ratings for the ZR1X and Grand Sport X are not yet published.
Curb Weight by Model
The figures below for the Z06 and ZR1 are GM dry weights for the track cars, so real-world curb weight is higher once fluids are added. The E-Ray and ZR1X weights are curb figures, and the ZR1X is the heaviest Corvette ever built.
| Model | Weight |
|---|---|
| Stingray | About 3,366 lb |
| E-Ray | About 3,774 lb (curb) |
| Z06 | About 3,500 lb (dry) |
| ZR1 | 3,670 lb (dry) |
| ZR1X | 3,914 lb (curb, heaviest ever) |
Key Features by Model
Each model has a signature piece of hardware that defines how it drives.
| Model | Signature hardware |
|---|---|
| Stingray | Available Z51 performance package |
| E-Ray | Electrified all-wheel drive, Magnetic Ride, all-season tires |
| Z06 | LT6 flat-plane V8, available Z07 package |
| ZR1 | Twin-turbo LT7, available ZTK package |

The Specs in Practice
For a Northwest Arkansas buyer, a few numbers do the most work. Highway MPG is what you actually live with on the region's main corridor, so the Stingray and E-Ray at 25 and 24 mpg highway stretch a tank of premium the farthest. All-season traction matters if the car sees more than dry weekends — the E-Ray's Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires and all-wheel drive are the standout there. And on longer grades, the standard carbon-ceramic brakes on the E-Ray, ZR1, and ZR1X resist fade far better than steel discs worked hard on a descent.
