2014 GeigerCars Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray
The German tuner GeigerCars uses an Eaton supercharger to raise the output of the Corvette's 6.2 liter V8 to an impressive 590 hp and 558 lb-ft of torque. The body is optimized to make use of this extra power thanks to a KW variant 3 coilover suspension which can be lowered between 10 and 35 mm on the front axle, and 15 and 45 mm on the rear axle.
A carbon fiber body kit is offered featuring a front splitter with additional flaps on either side; side sills; and a new rear spoiler and rear bumper with diffuser.

(from GeigerCars Press Release) Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray
The newest Corvette generation C7 Stingray is presented in a more exciting and grown up way than ever before. The facts in brief: V8 suction engine, 460 PS, 630 Nm torque, launch control, magnetic selective ride control suspension etc.
However, only GeigerCars.de from Munich provides the right adrenalin rush with a tailor-made package of technology and visuals:
• adjustable KW variant 3 coilover suspension
• compressor conversion to 590 HP & 757 Nm torque
GeigerCars.de gives the classic V8 drive unit an Eaton compressor, which generates an increased performance around 130 HP. At the same time, the maximum torque increases by a full 145 Nm. To summarise, the GeigerCars.de C7 now has 590 HP and a torque of 757 Nm, which is sufficient for a maximum speed of almost as 320 km/h. In order that this forceful performance can be converted into propulsion without losses, the Munich US car specialists built a KW variant 3 coilover suspension, which can be individually adjusted. The lowering area of the suspension is located on the front axle between 10 and 35 mm, and between 15 and 45 mm on the rear axle. In the wheel arches of the beautiful C7 turn in-house forged wheels, which are significantly lighter than their standard counterparts. At the front in the format 9.5x19 inch with 255/30R19 and at the rear in 11x20 inch with 305/25R20, this wheel/tyre combination provides breathtaking grip conditions.
Absolute highlight of the GeigerCars.de conversion is the specially developed body kit made of ultra-light carbon fibre, which also significantly contributes to the improvement of the aerodynamics. For the front part, there is a front splitter with additional flaps to the left and right, and a front grille incl. grate. A set of new sills guides the air past the sides of the C7. GeigerCars.de gives the tail a rear bumper with diffuser and a rear spoiler. The visual improvements are rounded off by an exclusive special paint in "motorsport gold".
The new Corvette C7 Stingray is offered as standard in Germany with the Z51 performance package. This includes optimised aerodynamics, improved suspension tuning and improved cooling in the case of top speeds for extended periods. The basic price of almost €74,500 includes standard features, which some competitors can only dream of. There is the excellent "magnetic selective ride control" suspension with various driving modes, extensive leather fittings, a launch control and a large navigation system.
The new Chevrolet Corvette C7 is now available as a coupé or cabrio with or without the GeigerCars.de conversion.
