Default c6 or c7

I found these pictures at motorauthority:

http://www.motorauthority.com/pictur...ry-1#100366032

Above the pictures it says 2014 corvette but this looks like the c6 grand sport to me.

Can someone take a look who knows more about it than me?

Taken from the last paragraph from the article that these pictures are from, "Pictured above is a test-mule for the upcoming 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, with the new model's running gear hidden beneath the body of a current C6"

That explains it!

BTW, what are the rumors saying about the overall length of the c7? Will it be smaller than the c6? Any news on that?
