Breaking News 10/30/2009Scroll down to our picture gallery and select Corvette C7 for more pictures!Corvette C7 Pictures and info courtesy of GM Media DETROIT – Chevrolet delivers a futuristic vision of technology and design with the 50th Anniversary Corvette Stingray Concept. A version of the model was first shown at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show and stars as “Sideswipe” in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Corvette Stingray Concept represents both the iconic legacy and an exciting future for Corvette. The Corvette Stingray Concept was developed as an internal design challenge to combine classic Corvette cues with surprisingly high-tech features, modern materials, and a striking new appearance. The car is well-appointed with a clamshell hood, scissor-style doors, ergonomic seats, rear-view camera with night vision enhancement, and a high performance hybrid drive. Interactive touch controls allow the driver to customize the power and efficiency of his or her ride and share it with friends via the in-car camera system and advanced telemetrics.
General Motors on Tuesday unveiled its 2-year product plan for its four core brands: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GM. Included in the Chevrolet news is that production of the C7 Corvette will start in April 2012 for the 2013 model year. GM also noted that the Corvette will maintain the front-engine layout and not the mid engine that has been rumored. This is great news as earlier reports (see below) had pushed back the Corvette C7 through 2014. This also means that the Corvette Design Team will now have the resources to move full speed ahead on a new design. The changes coming to America's sports car could include a smaller, lighter body, with greater use of advanced weight-saving materials like carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium and perhaps a smaller displacement engines. Performance should still provide the power-to-weight ratio that Corvette owners have become accustomed to. They may even have Superchargers! Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter has stated: "That the team is always thinking about the next generation Corvette and how to make it better." Now that the mid-engine layout has once again been tossed aside, Tadge's engineering team will have essentially just a couple of years to continue these engineering decisions and test them in mules which we could be seen as early as 2011. GM has assigned their special internal codes for the new Corvette and they are as follows. Stingray Concept InteriorThis is the Corvette C7 interior of the future!
