Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
www.leftlanenews.com
Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7 As reported over the weekend, an apparent Chevrolet Corvette concept car will appear in the forthcoming “Transformers 2″ movie. Based on the spy photos of the concept on the movie set, our artist has created an illustration of how the show car might influence the next-generation C7 Corvette. Given the concept’s massive wheels, exaggerated exterior, and extremely low roofline, there’s almost no way the production C7 Corvette will look exactly like it. However, we don’t think GM has created this concept for no reason at all. With that in mind, we’ve created a speculative illustration of the production C7 based on the concept. It has small LED headlights that create a similar effect to the hideaway lamps of yore, and the overall styling is a fusion of new and old design cues. It’s too soon to know exactly what the C7 will look like, but we think many of the design cues seen here will make it to production. View illustration at link (it wouldnt let me copy and paste the image) http://www.leftlanenews.com/wp-conte...50&idg=1&idi=1

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
Thanks...looks cool but I like the more aggressive concept better. But in both I like the "nose within a nose" concept, reminds me of a jet intake.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
 I pray it doesn't look like that. The front is really really ugly.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
I like it, it's pretty agressive, though i think that there are more pressing matters than a C7 right now, the current Corvette sells well, I think that with a few tweaks it could go through 2012-2013 maybe even more before it needs a full redo.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
Whoaaa...that's pretty slick. Sweet styling, aggressive looks, all it needs is the engine to back it all up.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
The roof is Saab/GT-R-esque, and I don't like it. It does remind me of the Stingray generation, but barely. Not sure about the "nose-within-a-nose" either.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
C7 may look like the current one, as long as it Front Engined and has an AWD option.

Re: Illustrated: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette C7
I hope the concept shows up next spring at either the Detroit or New York auto show...the last few Vettes, for my tastes, were so "evolutionary" as to be of little interest to me.
