The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray marked the fifth year of the C7 generation (2014-2019), and while it didn't see any major mechanical changes, it did have some interesting features and was part of a significant Corvette anniversary. Here's a look at the 2018 Stingray's place in Corvette history: Standing Out in a Strong Generation: The C7 Corvette Stingray was already a success story by 2018. It had impressive performance, a refined design, and continued to be a popular choice for sports car enthusiasts. The 2018 model year didn't introduce any groundbreaking changes to the core mechanics but focused on some refinements. Standard Upgraded Wheels: One noticeable difference for the 2018 Stingray was the adoption of previously optional 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels as the new standard. This gave the Stingray a more aggressive and muscular stance. More Wheel Options and Magnetic Ride Control: While the base wheels became larger, Chevrolet also offered five new optional wheel designs in 2018, catering to those who wanted to further personalize their Corvette's look. Additionally, Magnetic Ride Control, a performance-oriented suspension system that electronically adjusts for optimal handling, became available as a standalone option for the first time. Celebrating 65 Years of Corvette (Special Edition): A significant event in 2018 for Corvette was the 65th anniversary of its debut. To commemorate this milestone, Chevrolet offered a special edition Carbon 65 Edition Corvette Stingray. This package was available on both the Grand Sport and Z06 trims, featuring unique design elements that paid homage to Corvette's racing heritage. No Major Powertrain Changes: The 2018 Corvette Stingray continued to offer the familiar engine options from previous C7 models. The base LT1 V8 engine provided ample power, while the optional LT2 and LT5 offered even more exhilarating performance for those who craved it. A Collectible for Enthusiasts: The 2018 Corvette Stingray, particularly the 65th Anniversary Edition with the Carbon 65 package, might become a collectible for Corvette enthusiasts. However, as it wasn't a major overhaul and belonged to a successful generation, its collectability likely won't reach the heights of limited-edition models or those with groundbreaking features. Overall, the 2018 Corvette Stingray was a solid year for the C7 generation, offering some visual and feature refinements while celebrating a major Corvette milestone.
