Modernized C2 Corvette Rendering Blends Classic with Future

Modernized C2 Corvette Rendering Blends Classic with Future
By Brett Foote

Ever wonder what a brand new '67 Corvette might look like if it was built today? Chances are, it would probably look something like this.

I doubt it would have wing windows, or anything close to the mirrors pictured.

If you follow CCE's link the pics are interesting. I see a modern take on a classic design.
It's already been done with the T-Bird, Mustang, Challenger and Camaro.

Not for me. I get the idea but the closing up the rear window is pointless. It is typical of todays extremely pour rear view visibility designs that require a back up camera to see anything.

I believe you're right. Pretty difficult to modernize the C2 without the iconic bumpers. But I think the headlamp treatment portrayed is interesting.
