2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible To Debut At Geneva Auto Show, First Model To Be Sold For Charity (PHOTOS)

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible will be on display for the first time on Mar. 5 at the Geneva Motor Show according to a company press release.

The report indicates that the convertible will deliver the same features, design and performance as the 2014 Stingray introduced at the Detroit Auto Show last month.

"It's fitting to introduce the new Stingray convertible on the global stage at Geneva because Corvette is the face of Chevrolet the world over," said Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe in the company press release. "It is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."

The company is planning on auctioning the first retail production model of the Corvette Stingray convertible at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach collector car auction to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

The auction will be held from April 4-6 at the South Florida Fairground in Palm Beach, Fla. Click here to submit a bid online or for more information on the auction.

There are Corvette fans all over the world, which is evident by the approximate 58 percent of the 1.1 million fans who "Like" Corvette's official Facebook page that live outside the U.S according to the company press release.

The first retail production model of the 2014 Corvette Stingray was sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale collector car auction for $1.05 million. All proceeds went to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

"Every Corvette is designed at the outset as an open car," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer in the company press release. "The new Stingray is no different, with the coupe and convertible designed to excel in any situation, be it your daily commute, a drive across the continent, or charging through twisting back roads."
