Default New C7 Corvette ZR1 looks even better than you think



We called up one of our favorite render artists, gave him all the C7 Corvette ZR1 spy shots, and told him to spit out his closest approximation of what the new car will look like. And frankly, we have fallen in love.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Pure speculation. You don't know what it looks like. It's a guess.

I hope the little miata-esque smily mouth look isn't the final version.

I would have expected the upper rear quarter vents to be Z06/GS styled, but these look flat, like on the Stingray.


Must have something to do with these renderings being pure speculation...

My initial reaction is that I don't like that nose. But, to each their own when it comes to liking or not liking something like that.

Agreed. I won't be buying one, but for some odd reason, I actually care what it looks like, and I don't want it to look like that!

It's about what I imagined.
I am more interested in the rear, than the front.

Regardless of whether it is close to real nose or not, I do give props to the artist who did the rendering. That's the best looking nose of all the C7 variants.
