Two Corvette Stingrays are being assessed and being driven on a wide variety of roads. The testing process is part of the standard General Motors quality control program for all new models before they go on sale in Europe.
"Nürburgring is renowned for its demanding race track and it is perfectly suited for our purpose, which is to fine-tune the ride and handling characteristics of the European Corvette Stingray," said Jim Mero, vehicle dynamics engineer at General Motors. "We are paying particular attention to the suspension set-up and the steering at Nürburgring. European roads are quite distinct and different from those in the U.S., and so are driving habits."
