Default Lear Seats for the ZORA ??

Since the C7 Corvette have Lear seats it only makes sense to use them again on the ZORA. Here is a video showing them making seats for not only Corvette but also Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi, and others. Take a look at the white seat at the :35 second mark. I do believe the pass throughs have the same shape as the key fobs. The seats could definitely be the ZORA seats. We'll see.

Who knows... but the C7 front fascia "leaked" via a "capabilities" PowerPoint presentation by the supplier, so it's not unheard of.

Yes, that certainly is the Key fob shape. Corvette's design team has always incorporated designed shapes and integrated them into many locations throughout the car. They did that very well in the C7.

No, there are only two locations in the video where that white seat is shown. At :16 and :35 seconds.

It's not white but it matches the shape perfectly.

I think everyone's grasping at straws that this point. Saying that the seat opening pass-thru looks like the keyfob is really stretching it.

Lear has been making the seats for Corvette though. Watching the video has a lot of Corvette shots in there.
