Default "Transformers" Corvette Stingray concept

"Transformers" Corvette Stingray concept
Today at 9:08pm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkLdO...ww%2Ecorvetteb logger%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ecfm%2F2009%2F7%2F 10%2FVIDEO%2DWalk%2DAround%2Dthe%2DTrans formers%2DCorvette%2DStingray%2DConcept& feature=player_embedded ---

This is a short but sweet forty second walk around the Corvette Stingray Concept featured in this summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie. The video appears to have been shot during production. For a brief instant I thought we'd finally get a look at the interior.When the driver side door was opened, I was praying for that allusive interior shot. However, you can see the two-tone red/silver seats and it looks like the dash and steering wheel may be red as well.I was skeptical at first about the photos that surfaced last month from the filming of the Transformers 2 movie showing what was reported as a Corvette concept. But some intrepid photographer was to get to the automotive staging area on the set of the sequel currently being filmed on Edwards Air Force Base and snapped a few photos including this one showing not just one Corvette Concept, but two. The lines on this Concept do scream Corvette with what appears to be a highly evolved coke-bottle design and a split rear window. The chopped top and wrap around windshield (first appearing on the ’53 Corvette) are so cool and the massive tires look to be able to supply plenty of traction. Could this be a preview of the C7? Let’s hope!


As GM is supplying many of the vehicles for the movie including the Chevrolet Beat, Trax and the now familiar next-generation Camaro, we wonder if this is an actual C7 style exercise, a tuner rebody or the product of a famous movie car customizing shop. GM has supplied two concepts to Michael Bay previously, the Camaro for the first Transformers movie and a Cadillac Cien for the cinematic thriller The Island, (LOL, cinematic thriller...) so we're not off base for making the suggestion.


The sequel, officially titled as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is sure to be hit when it makes it to the big screen next year. Total gross of the first Transformers movie was $319 Million in the US and $708 Million worldwide. GM’s product placement of concepts into movies allows the automaker feedback about their designs as well as gives the base a chance to warm up to any redesign of the iconic American sports car.

Not really Gull Wing, Mercedes 300SL was Gull wing. I agree though I like it a lot except for the doors. Looks very awkward to get in.

This concept car was built for the movie and I think they did a great job designing a futuristic looking Stingray!!

I would actually like to see them bring back the Stingray name (I'm partial to the C3 version of the name) for a retro looking vette on the C6 platform. Kind of like this.....
