Default New Mid-Engine Corvette Renderings

"Is this our best look yet at the upcoming Chevrolet supercar?
Love it or hate it, it seems all but inevitable that there will be some form of mid-engine car coming from General Motors in the next year or so. We’ve been parsing over rumors and spy shots for well over a year now, and the little details are finally starting to fall into place. The latest spy shots have given us a pretty good idea of the general proportions and shape of the upcoming car, so we asked our render artist to start waving his magic pen to create the images you see here."

What do you think?

Two things...

1) Link takes me to a page to start a new thread.

2) The C8 Forum is where they want us to post new product threads.

I don't care what the car looks like as long as the tail lights are similar to the C7's.

It's a rendering. It's fake. Nothing to get excited about. It's somebody's fantasy.

All that whining and complaining aside, the renderings do look nicer than others I've seen. But as has been pointed out, they're just drawings of someone's impression of what it *might* look like.


So, nothing to see here. Move along folks...

Watch GM do a big head fake and bring out the ME car as a Cadillac. Remember, the XLR was built in BG.
