The latest 2022 Corvette Stingray introduces only a handful of small updates and changes over the 2021 model year, including minor revisions to the C8’s 6.2 V8 LT2 engine with regard to fuel delivery and active fuel management, as well as minor alterations to the engine calibration. Output, however, remains unchanged, rated at 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque when fitted with the optional factory performance exhaust system.
The 2022 Corvette Stingray also deletes the 5DG Pewter-painted wheel option. Offered for the 2021 model year as an LPO-level option, the 5DG Pewter-painted wheels feature the same five-open-spoke design as the standard Q8P wheels, but with a subtle bronze finish.
Finally, the 2022 Corvette Stingray introduces the new IMSA GTLM Championship Edition, a limited-run special edition model that celebrates the C8’s championship win in the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech Series.
