[PICS] Chevrolet Prices the 2015 Corvette Stingray for Europe

Chevrolet has made no secret that it hopes to lure away some of those Porsche, BMW, and Ferrari owners living overseas with its new seventh-generation Stingray.

Now, General Motors has released the first details and images of the 2015 Corvette Stingray all dressed up in its European clothes.

If you live overseas, though, you can expect to pay considerably more than if you live in America.

GM says the 2015 Corvette Stingray will start at 74,500 euros in Germany, which translates into about $92,400 in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. That’s up considerably from the 69,990-euro price tag for the 2014 model.

Compare that to $54,995 if you make the same purchase in the United States.

Of course, if you’re lucky enough to buy a Corvette in Europe, you’ll be assured of getting the Z51 performance package, which all overseas models will include. You’ll also get the same 6.2-liter V8 engine and seven-speed manual transmission available in the U.S.

You’ll also get space for the wider license plates used in Europe.

The higher price in Europe is still a bargain compared to other sports cars offering similar performance.

“While the Corvette Stingray can compete with its rivals in terms of performance, it remains affordable. The Stingray is more than a car, it’s a statement of intent by drivers who want the pure exhilaration that’s tantamount with the name Corvette,” said the president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe, Susan Docherty, in describing the 2014 Stingray.
