2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette (slideshow)

To celebrate its 100th birthday, Chevrolet created a racing inspired 2012 Centennial Edition appearance and suspension package for the entire line of Corvettes. The special edition package gives the 'Vette a dark and sinister makeover inside and out.

The first thing you'll notice is the all-black color scheme. Your only paint choice is Carbon Flash Metallic with Centennial Satin Black wheels and red brake calipers.

The lightweight cast-spun aluminum wheels are specific to each model: 18-inch/19-inch wheels for the Coupe, Convertible and Grand Sport; and 19-inch/20-inch for Z06 and ZR1.

On Z06 models, a thin red line outlines the perimeter of the wheels. The Centennial edition Corvettes also receive Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

All models, including the including Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 can be ordered with the black-on-black trim package starting this summer, but pricing for neither the Corvette nor the Centennial package has been released.

The black and red color scheme is carried into the vehicle's interior. The doors, instrument panel, and steering wheel is wrapped in Ebony leather with contrast red stitching.

Seats, steering wheel, shifter and armrests are accented with the microfiber suede first used on the 2011 Z06 Carbon Limited Edition. The seat headrests also carry an embossed

The fleur-de-lis symbol on the traditional crossed flags badge has been replaced with "100."

A few custom details adorn the exterior, including a graphic of Louis Chevrolet on the B-pillars, the center caps of the wheels, and the center of the steering wheel.
