Side profile is perfect. Love the front and rear vents, but something needs to be done about the rear center and front grille. Those are the only two things i'd change as they're pretty hideous.

After seeing the beautiful pics of the last days, I have to say, I'm shocked by the back ... It looks horrible ...

The car is done for effect and thus the revisionist shape. However a sympathetic to the heritage Corvette front and rear would soon fix those details. The basic profile is sound.

Yes, I agree with you. Make the back a bit les futuristic, add the four corvette lights ... and to me, we have an absolute winner ...

Thanks for the great pictures!

Love the pics!
As a style study, this is GREAT! I LOVE the direction its going.
I can only suggest getting rid of the split rear window, I think the 63 should remain the only corvette with it.
This design says "American" to me.
The Vette has no need to follow the italian trends (Ferrari) because we have our own tradition and taste.
