The advanced cluster display in the 2014 Corvette Stingray can
provide up to 69 unique sources of information, ranging from an
interactive performance timer to a tire tread temperature display. The
crisp and bright display features make this information easily
accessible via three configurable modes that prioritize information for
daily commuting, weekend canyon carving and track events.
Flanked
by three analog gauges for speed, fuel level, and engine-coolant
temperature, the eight-inch liquid-crystal display screen in the center
of the cluster is organized into sport, tour and track themes that
change with the Driver Mode Selector. Each display theme is designed for
a specific driving scenario and can be configured through applications
found in the "app tray."
"The new Corvette Stingray features many advanced technologies, so
our challenge when designing the driver's displays was to ensure that
those technologies could be easily found in common driving scenarios,"
said Jason Stewart, General Motors interaction designer.
"The
touring theme places more emphasis on multimedia and infotainment; the
sport theme emphasizes performance features with a prominent shift
indicator and a large radial tachometer; track theme offers a
race-inspired layout containing a sweeping tachometer, Corvette racing
inspired shift lights and permanent lap-time displays," Stewart said.
"Each of these three themes can also be configured so that drivers can
personalize their experience in the Stingray."
The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe goes on sale in the third quarter of 2013.
