World's first 2014 Corvette sells for $1 million at auctionSeven generations of Corvettes World's first 2014 Corvette sells for $1 million at auctionThe 2014 Corvette Stingray's interior will include carbon fiber, aluminum and hand-wrapped leather
The 2014 Corvette Stingray's interior will include carbon fiber, aluminum and hand-wrapped leather trim pieces, and two 8-inch configurable "infotainment" screens. 
Chevrolet says that the new Corvette will have a 50/50 weight balance between front and rear, optimal for handling and driver feel. 
There will be two seat choices: one for all-around comfort and a "Competition Sport" option with aggressive side bolstering to hold the driver in place during hard cornering. 
Both speed and efficiency are aided by a series of weight-saving measures, including a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels; "carbon-nano" composite underbody panels and a new aluminum frame. 
The first-generation Corvette was released in 1953. Only 300 were built for the year.
