Spied: Is this the mid-engined Corvette? - Page 19

Saw that over on the Corvetteforums myself. I think it's incredibly hot. Hope the finished product looks similar or better.

I think it's pretty close. The only things we really don't know are the design of the air intakes and some details for the DLO, particularly the quarter windows and the engine cover.

Based 100% on that particular rendering...

Nice looking car...of course the mid engine layout makes it pretty unique looking, and it is a nice looking car. But honestly I actually think the current Corvette (mostly the Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1) are better looking.

It looks a bit vanilla to me. That said, I'm confident the real thing will impress me more.

Agreed

The rendering is probably pretty close, but I think the front and rear fascias will be more intense than that

DenverTaco07 · 02-06-2018, 10:07 PM

want one

The render is way off on the rear end, you can clearly see the flying buttress under the camo

FenwickHockey65 · 02-07-2018, 02:06 PM

I don't think they're going off that spy photo for the rear fascia vents, but the leaked front/rear fascias on the pre-production line.

could be a convertible? I agree it does look like there are more defined buttresses than in the render.

flying buttress suggests there is an opening in the buttress to channel airflow. these don't look open in the picture

but corvettes've had center-exit exhaust for 20yrs!! this's blasphemy to have them split to the corners!!

FenwickHockey65 · 02-07-2018, 09:09 PM

Corvettes also had retractable headlights and round taillights.

Have to keep up with the times.
