Some may call it “British Racing Green,” but on the 2014 Corvette, the pictured color above is officially known as Lime Rock Green. A green hue has been absent from the Corvette’s color palate since 2001, but is clearly making a come back.
The Lime Rock Green Stingray is also equipped with the Z51 package and has a 3LT Brownstone interior. British sportscar brands Jaguar and Aston Martin probably have their knickers in a bunch over this. Though we still can’t help but fantasize what a 2014 Corvette would look like in Synergy Green.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray officially launches later this year, towards the end of summer. More photos of the verdant ‘Vette can be found on Facebook.

Officially known as lime rock green. Unofficially it’s black.
I want to know when will the specifiactions for the 2014 Vette in terms of hp & lb-ft will be release.
Beautiful!
What a gorgeous color.
thats the one i want.
Tadge Juechter and his crew should reveal the actual technical specifications for this car instead of throwing more colors and interior bits at the public. No actual weight, horsepower, ET, skidpad, MPG numbers available but colors and interior finishes just keep rolling out. Is this a high performance vehicle or one that just happened to be made to look like one?
Love the exhaust tips…well the whole car actually.
they don’t want competitors to know the exact power of the lt1 yet, for the same reason the shouldnt have announced 580 hp for the zl1 a year early, so ford didnt have the time to make the gt500 662 hp, rember we may all dreaming of this car, but not knowing erformance specs is giving ralph gilles nightmares (incharge of viper etc..), and the rest of the sports car world, because the c6’s z06 and zr1 ran beat almost everycar in the world around a track, and if it didn’t win it didn’t lose by much, and the $100 000 you saved vs a ferrari could easily make up that tenth of a second gap
You may want to stop drinking GM kool aid, Both Viper and Nissan GTR run circles around any of the Corvettes while hardly costing any more money. Check the ring times for the previous generation Viper vs. ZR1 and compare 0-60 times for GTR and ZR1.
And LOL, yeah, GM is hiding the next best thing since the sliced bread. The reality is the car is not living up to the marketing hype Tadge has been spreading around and GM is trying its hardest to come up with enough horsepower to have the car certified and compensate for the extra weight the car managed to gain.
Last thing Chrysler, Porsche and even Ford have to worry is the C7 secret, in fact, this car is already becoming laughing stock and big failure in the making. Obviously, judging from your screen name, you would like this not to be the reality. I can tell you already that C6 is the last corvette I will ever own and I am sure I will not be the only one.
Actually, the ZR1 is faster around a track than the Viper GTS – by nearly 2 seconds. While the Nissan GTR WAS a monster on a budget, it’s pricing is now floating around $100k+. Also it has AWD, which helps with 0-60 times. However, for RWD, the ZR1 isn’t exactly slow by any stretch of the imagination.

ZR1 is no longer produced so not sure how this is relevant to C7 car but nevertheless… Last time I checked, Viper ACR was considerably faster around the ring than ZR1. ZR1 is a 120k car, more expensive than Viper and GTR. If the car is AWD or RWD, this is irrelevant, especially considering GM did consider AWD for Corvette at one time. What matters is the performance of the car. Mustang GT500, at least in straight line, is only a tick slower than ZR1 while costing half of ZR1, this is impressive. When Mustang gets the upcoming IRS, it will be the end to both Camaro and Corvette and this is coming from someone who drives Corvette.
The Viper ACR is more or less a race car turned street legal. If you were to gut, cage, and and add a few more go-fast parts to the ZR1, you would yield similar, if not better results. The fact of the matter is that every single one of these cars is $100k or more. As for AWD in a Corvette, it would be a great thing, if the purists would allow for it. The Camaro can (and has) been beaten by the Mustang in the power aspect, due to the presence of the Corvette in the market. We don’t know what the blue oval has in store for us, however, we’re sure that GM won’t let them dominate the market.
Incorrect, Viper ACR X is the racer. ACR is merely equipped with larger brakes and few suspension upgrades plus aero pieces -not much different from ZR1. I doubt that Corvette is the reason why Camaro loses out to Mustang. New Z28 comes with the exact LS7 that Corvette had. The reality is that Ford is smarter and more technology oriented using overhead cam technology that allows to develop greater horsepower from smaller displacement. GM insists on archaic engine architecture and results are there to prove it. This is pretty obvious with both Corvette and Camaro. The end of mass produced large displacement engines is here. If GM continues to be cheap, these cars will lag even more. Cadillac is the one leading the GM pack but only with V6, lacking a modern V8 Ford uses.
