This brand new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray headed for the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction features an array of modifications that make this supercar unique from the body to the wheels.

This seventh-generation Chevy Corvette is the latest model to have the Corvette Stingray name since the first model during the third-generation in 1976.

Painted in a pretty grabber blue, a custom wide-body kit was installed and molded, with the rear of the car widened by 12 inches, and the front widened by eight inches.

Looking under the hood, the factory LT1 engine was upgraded, now featuring an Edelbrock E-Force Stage Two supercharger, a custom Magnaflow multimode performance exhaust system, a cold-air intake and a custom tune and program. All of these modifications helps this Corvette pump out an astonishing 700-horsepower.
