Chevrolet this week showed 2 other concept Corvette Stingrays at SEMA in Las Vegas. In addition to the Gran Turismo Corvette Stingray Concept we showed you Tuesday, they also showed off the Atlantic and Pacific concepts as well. The cars are intended to represent the differences styling between the left and right coasts of the U.S. We’ll take a look at the Pacific concept a little later, but for now click past the jump to check out our photo gallery and video walkaround of the Corvette Stingray Atlantic concept.
The Blade Silver 2014 convertible is styled after a private jet. Outside the C7 sports a Carbon Flash Metallic front splitter, rockers, rear diffuser, and rear license plate holder. The headlamp buckets and hood accents are painted Fusion Gray. Chrome five-spoke wheels (19′s in the front and 20′s in the rear) with new Stingray script center caps sit at all 4 corners of this C7. Other exterior features include an under-hood liner with the Stingray logo, molded splash guards, and a nifty glass windscreen behind the seats.
The Atlantic’s interior is swathed in suede and includes custom luggage, premium carpet floor mats, custom sill plates, and a very cool embroidered center armrest with the new Stingray logo.
Motivation for the Atlantic concept comes from a stock LT1 engine which is mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission which is perfect for a long cruise alongside the Atlantic Ocean.
We’ll take a closer look at the Pacific concept shortly, but in the meantime enjoy our Corvette Stingray Atlantic photo gallery below.

The Corvette Stingray Coupe Pacific Concept
For Left coast fans, Chevrolet’s designers created the Corvette Stingray Coupe Pacific Concept, a red-hot looking track-inspired ride in anyone’s book. This is a Z51-equipped Corvette Stingray Coupe with the LT1 V8 mated to a seven-speed transmission, dry sump oiling system and the transaxle features an electronic limited-slip differential.
The Corvette Stingray Coupe Pacific Concept features a Torch Red exterior complimented with a carbon fiber hood and visible carbon-fiber weave on the removable roof panel. Like the Atlantic Concept, the Pacific Concept comes outfitted with a carbon fiber trim kit with a front splitter and rocker extensions in black.
Like its right coast Atlantic Concept, the Pacific Concept Stingray Coupe is outfitted by a number of Chevrolet Accessories including the 19″ and 20″ black wheels with a red accent stripe.

The Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo Concept
Finally, the third Stingray pays homage to the video game that helped launch the seventh generation sports car. Before the Corvette Stingray was shown to the public in January, a camouflaged version of the car appeared in Gran Turismo 5, allowing Corvette fans the opportunity to drive the car online before it was launched a month later in Detroit.
Now for Gran Turismo 6 and just in time for the game’s 15th anniversary is a real life concept version of the video game car, complete with race inspired elements like yellow-tinted headlamps, a carbon fiber rear wing and a ground effects kit which comes with carbon fiber rockers and front splitter. The custom exterior also features a custom front grille, a racing-style tow hook and custom exhaust tips.
On the inside, you’ll find the Competition Sport racing seats with driver and passenger racing harnesses, a custom flat-bottom steering wheel and a leather wrapped safety belt bar and rear braces.
The Gran Turismo concept is powered by the 460 horsepower LT1 V8 engine and comes with a seven-speed transmission.
