HOOD AIR EXTRACTOR This is no bottom breather.
A functional hood extractor directs hot air from the
front grille up through the forward-tilted radiator and
out of the engine compartment. Each blade is precisely
angled for optimal airflow. The result is reduced
front-end lift, increased downforce and improved
handling at high speeds.
POWERTRAIN COOLING When Stingray is equipped with
the available Z51 Performance Package, dual rear
quarter panel intake vents guide airflow to cool two
separate heat exchangers. One routes air to the
transmission cooler. The other cools the rear
differential. Hot air escapes through tailored rear
taillamp vents and lower-rear fascia outlets. This
system was adapted from Corvette Racing to reduce
temperatures during high-performance driving.
BRAKE COOLING The available Z51 Performance
Package also includes dual brake ducts that transport
air from the front grille through the wheelwells to
effectively cool front brakes and expel heat. This
efficient airflow controls temperature, reduces brake
fade and optimizes stopping performance.
SURFACE-TO-AIR PRECISION “The 2014 Corvette
Stingray integrates more high-performance
aerodynamic features than ever before, many taken
directly from Corvette Racing,” says Corvette Chief
Engineer Tadge Juechter. “The front grille and radiator
flow paths reduce lift, improving vehicle stability at
high speeds by keeping the car pressed to the
pavement. In addition, functional vents increase track
capability by channeling air to the brakes, as well as
heat exchangers for the transmission and differential.”
