In a continuation of the downsizing evident in the C6, the new C7 prototype will lose another six feet in overall length and three feet in width. Weight is pared to a trim 925 pounds, and horsepower goes up to 485 with 520 foot pounds of torque. Marginal decreases in interior room and storage capacity have been made to accommodate these changes.

Clearly this is an illustration of Einstein's and Lorentz's postulate regarding special relativity that as an object approaches the speed of light it contracts in the direction of its motion. Great find!
