Chevrolet has released a sneak peak at the new 2014 Corvette and if they're able to live up to the expectation described in the company's press release, the new car won't disappoint.

With an expected release date of Jan. 13, 2013 people won't have to wait too long either.

Tadge Juechter, Corvette's chief engineer has stated that the new Corvette combines more high-performance aerodynamic features than any Corvette released before and many of the features were taken directly from Corvette Racing.

The new front grill and radiator flow paths will reduce lift according to the press release, improving vehicle stability at high speeds by making sure the car stays close to the pavement.

 Functional vents increase track capability by "channeling air to the breaks" and also heat exchangers to the transmission and differential Juechter stated.

"Its sculpted design excites in all the ways that a Corvette has for six decades, with elements carefully shaped in the wind tunnel to increase airflow potential and improve cooling for a system that is as efficient as possible," said Kirk Bennion, Corvette exterior design manager in the press release. "It's said that form follows function, but in the case of the aerodynamic 2014 Corvette, form and function work cohesively to produce beautiful purpose."

Chevrolet was originally founded in 1911 and has since become one of the biggest car brands in the world, doing business with over 140 countries. The company annually sells more than four million cars and trucks.
