2009 Chevrolet Corvette
GM Media Release
9 June 2008
After a milestone year in 2008 that saw the introduction of the LS3 6.2 litre V8 as the new standard engine, a custom, leather-wrapped interior and more upgrades, the Corvette powers into 2009 with a raft of enhancements that further distinguish it and give customers more choices – including a lower-priced convertible model.
Of course, that range of choices also includes the Corvette ZR1, with its 6.2 litre supercharged engine that produces 638 horsepower (476 kW).
“The Corvette is an American icon with world-class credentials,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “It’s the car we all aspire to own and the 2009 edition, with more choices and features, only amplifies that craving.”
The 2009 Corvette lineup includes the Corvette Coupe and Corvette Convertible, each powered by the 430-horsepower (321 kW) LS3 V8, and the incomparable Corvette Z06. Equipped with the 505-horsepower (377 kW) LS7 engine and built on a lightweight chassis, the Z06 is a street-going descendent of the championship-winning Corvette racing program.
