Mid-engine layout unlikely for C7 Corvette

asrapid · 10-07-2008, 09:16 AM

With the current ZR-1 supercar already priced above $100,000, the question remains whether General Motors should push the Corvette into the upper echelon of the performance market or allow it to remain somewhat affordable to the average Joe – at least in base spec. Rumors of a next generation ‘C7’ Corvette getting a new mid-engine platform are rife, however according to latest reports the chances of the current front-engine rear-drive formula being changed are slim.

Wasn't the Fiero relatively cheap? The volume of the Corvette should make it cheaper. Though some of the character might be lost.
