For 2016, Chevrolet is helping design-challenged Corvette Stingray and Z06 buyers choose cool, coordinated interior and exterior colors with three new design packages: Spice Red, Jet Black Suede, and Twilight Blue. Red, white, and blue might’ve been more patriotic, but we think red, black, and blue definitely look better.
-For the Stingray, all three also include a rear spoiler and require ordering a 3LT model as well as Magnetic Ride Control (which no longer requires the Z51 package, although this bundle is compatible); Z06 versions are available for the 3LZ trim level. Both coupes and convertibles can be thus outfitted. From there, the breakdowns are as follows:
-Spice Red Design Package
-This one combines a Spice Red interior and (on convertibles) a matching red top, and also has red brake calipers. Arctic White, Blade Silver, Shark Gray, and new Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat (dark red) are the available exterior paints. Stingray versions get polished “Motorsport” wheels, while the Z06 gets a pearl-nickel-finish “Blade” wheel and chrome exterior badges.
-Jet Black Suede Design Package
-The JBSD features black sueded microfiber upholstery and sueded microfiber on the steering wheel and shift knob. Convertibles get a black top. Can be ordered in the following exterior colors: Black (naturally), Arctic White, Blade Silver, and Torch Red. Includes black wheels with a red stripe, and red brake calipers. Additionally, the hood vent is done in satin black and a glossy black trim panel is fitted to the interior. Stingray models also get “Carbon Flash” badging.
-Twilight Blue Design Package
-This has nothing to do with awful tween fiction. Instead, you get a dark blue interior and a blue top (on convertibles), as well as your choice of Night Race Blue, Arctic White, Shark Gray, or Blade Silver paint. The wheel fitments for the Stingray and Z06 models are the same as with the Spice Red cars, and buyers get their choice of gray or black brake calipers. The vents on every car—there are many more on the Z06, obviously—are rendered in Shark Gray, while Stingrays get chrome badging. A red, white, and blue tri-color stripe package is optional.
