April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Chevrolet, founded by a racing pioneer 100 years ago, and LaFontaine Chevrolet in Dexter, MI celebrate Chevy’s performance heritage with the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette. Sports car and racing fans in Livingston County will be impressed with the sleek black color scheme, unique design elements and trademark technology in the Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette.

The 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition package will be available on all Corvette models – including Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 – starting this summer.  

The special package was inspired by Chevrolet’s racing-bred foundation, which continues with Corvette’s international racing excellence and production sports car prominence.

“What better way for Chevrolet and LaFontaine to celebrate a rich history in racing and performance, than with a special edition of the Corvette,” said Matt LaFontaine of LaFontaine Chevrolet. “The Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette not only celebrates Chevy’s 100 years, it once again pushes Corvette forward for a new generation of sports car fans.”

The Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette expresses racing heritage, but does so with a sleek, modern, even sinister-looking appearance. The Chevrolet Centennial Edition package comes exclusively in Carbon Flash Metallic, with satin-black graphics and unique Centennial Satin Black wheels and red brake calipers. The wheels are constructed of lightweight cast-spun aluminum and include a thin red outline around the perimeter of their surface on the Z06. The wheels are specific to the respective Corvette models, including 18-inch/19-inch for Coupe, Convertible and Grand Sport; and 19-inch/20-inch for Z06 and ZR1.  

Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension and a technology advance initiated by Corvette, is included on all Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette models.

The Chevrolet Centennial Edition also features special badges that signify Chevrolet’s racing history. A graphic logo featuring an iconic image of Louis Chevrolet appears on the B-pillars, the center caps of the wheels, and the center of the steering wheel. The seat headrests also carry an embossed centennial logo.

Aficionados will note one other small detail: The historic crossed flags badge contains a small adaptation, with “100” in place of the traditional fleur-de-lis symbol, only for the Chevrolet Centennial Edition.

The exterior color scheme is reinforced inside the car, with the Ebony leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors complimented by red stitching on the steering wheel, seats, console and shifter.  Microfiber suede accents on Centennial Edition seats, steering wheel, shifter and armrests were first used on the 2011 Z06 Carbon Limited Edition.

The Chevrolet Centennial Edition will be available on all Corvette models. Pricing will be released this summer prior to the start of availability.
