When you think of Chevrolet you think of American muscle right? Well contrary to what you think, Chevrolet was founded by Swiss-born racing pioneer, Louis-Joseph Chevrolet, 100 years ago. How time flies!

Of course, Chevrolet is celebrating in the utmost style. To pay tribute to their racing heritage and 100-year anniversary, they've created a special 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette.

"Racing and performance are the roots of Chevrolet, a tradition carried forward today by Corvette," says Rick Scheidt, VP Marketing, Chevrolet. "The Centennial Edition not only celebrates our 100 years, it once again pushes Corvette forward for a new generation of sports car fans...Louis Chevrolet was a fearless racing pioneer who also designed our first car. Corvette is a natural fit to honor that legacy..."¹

The aggressive-looking, honorary 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition package is specially designed to provide drivers the sports car performance and technology Corvette models are known for as well as a host of exclusive, special-edition design features. These include Carbon Flash metallic paint with satin black graphics, lightweight cast-spun aluminum Centennial Satin Black wheels with a red line tracing the perimeter, Centennial Edition seats with microfiber suede accents, and badges honoring Chevy's venerable 100-year racing history.

The most alluring featuring of the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette, however, is its Magnetic Selective Ride Control... Search the world over and you won't find a faster reacting suspension system.

Be sure to stay tuned. Pricing and addition details for the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette, available starting this summer, are expected to be announced shortly.
