PLYMOUTH, Mich., February 27, 2013 – SANLUIS Rassini, a leading automotive supplier of suspension and brake components in North America, was selected by the Chevrolet Corvette engineering team for its unique two-piece rotor design, which offers significant weight savings and extreme performance at high speeds.

Rassini’s Automotive team has produced the industry’s first-ever rotor with a ductile iron hat and gray iron brake plates for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, which makes its debut this summer. The unique combination of ductile and cast iron provides a weight savings of up to 18 percent while also improving the Corvette’s heat management capabilities, giving the sports car reliable and consistent stopping power.

A component of the Corvette Stingray Z51 Performance Package, the Rassini dual-cast braking system affords confident stopping power to the 6.2-liter engine that powers the Stingray from 0 – 60 mph in less than four seconds.

Corvette7 site member Vette_85 was the lucky civilian who spotted the three C7 Corvette Stingrays testing in Arizona. He has shared these photos with us, which give us the best look yet at the Laguna Blue and Black colors, as well as the colors compared to Torch Red.

FYI, the black Stingray was a Z51 package with 7 speed manual. The blue and red ones were base models. Thanks to Vette_85 for sharing!

The sightings of 2014 Corvette Stingray mules continue throughout Arizona. This latest one features the first time that C7s in blue, red, and black have been seen together. Check out the clip inside.

There’s been a Torch Red C7 Corvette Stingray sighting (PHOTOS) in Arizona and the spotting was significant for a couple of reasons:

1) This is the first look we get at a non-Z51, base model C7 Corvette, with GT seats, A6 automatic transmission, and silver wheels, and without a rear spoiler.
2) This pre-production Stingray was reportedly spotted with a heavily camouflaged Z06 C7 Stingray which is on its way to testing at the Yuma proving grounds!
