While the Corvette’s 61-year history has included some spectacular cars, aspirations for the 2014 model are the highest yet. The Stingray badge evokes the beloved second generation.

The new Corvette Stingray’s ambitions are loftier than the previous Corvette, a point underscored by the return of the Stingray name. If Porsche made this car, it would cost $125,000. But this is a Chevy with a starting price of $51,995.
