2026 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray refresh: carbon fiber packages return, new wheels and a three-screen cockpit

Chevrolet updates the 2026 Corvette Stingray with returning carbon fiber packages for 3LT, a new wheel design, a three-screen cockpit, and the LT2 V8 unchanged.

Chevrolet has unveiled the refreshed 2026 Corvette Stingray, bringing a round of improvements, among them the return of two hallmark carbon-fiber appearance packages. Visible Carbon Fiber and Carbon Flash Metallic are again offered as dealer options after a multi-year hiatus.

Previously, supply constraints often limited availability, but the packages can now be specified on 3LT models in both coupe and convertible form. In 2025, pricing stood at $7,895 and $7,395, respectively.

Beyond the carbon add-ons, the Stingray gets a new standard wheel design and a reworked interior headlined by a driver-centric panel with three screens. The layout feels as purposeful as the car itself.

Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V8 carries on, delivering strong shove and the Corvette’s signature sound. Assembly continues at Bowling Green, Kentucky, where every C8 on GM’s Y2 platform is built.

Taken together, the updates make the 2026 Stingray more than a sharp two-door: they blend familiar Corvette character with present-day tech—lightweight carbon details, digital ergonomics, and a personality that remains unmistakably Corvette.
