2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Speculatively Animated, Think it Will Look Anything like T

Curacao

Curacao

Island in the Caribbean.
Perhaps the most widely circulated attempt to render and preview the 2014 Corvette C7 comes from the crew at Jalopnik, who in November of 2011, released a trio of drawings which they claimed to be based on actual photos of "one of two Initial Vehicle Engineering Release (IVER) vehicles" that they managed to acquire from sources within General Motors.

Understandably, GM would never confirm such as claim even if it were true, so we cannot say with certainty if the drawings of the 2014 Corvette ZR1 are close to the actual model, which is believed to be revealed at the next Detroit Auto Show in January of 2013.
Using those same drawings as a canvas, a company named Trinity Animation came up with a CGI video that shows a digitally rendered 2014 Corvette on the move.

After you take a look at the animation, head over to the comments and tell us if you think the actual C7 will look like the car in the video.

That is fugly! If that is what BG is gonna turn out in 2013. I will keep my 08 Z06 for a long time to come. Eeeeeck
 
Skillfully done animation. I like the idea of the car except for the tail lights and the "rope-light-like strip around the head lights. But I'm no car designer. :dancer01:
 
I guess the look could grow on me, but honestly I would be more interested in knowing what is underneath the hood. If it's the same as a C6 but with just different body panels, eh, why bother? When the C6 came out it had the same power in the LS2 as the C5 Z06 had on tap with the LS6. Then that bar was raised in 2008 with the LS3 and the C6 Z06 got our blood a pumping hard in 2006 with 505 hp.

So I think GM needs to offer something that will raise that performance bar again, otherwise why bother with just a skin change? We could do that ourselves with our current models for a whole lot less money than buying a whole new car.

But heck, this is all just hypothetical to me anyway. It's not like I think even remotely that I'm ever going to be in a position to buy another new Corvette in my lifetime. And the C7 would have to be really *something* to get me to thinking about trading in any of the Corvettes I already have for it.
 
I like this rendering better than anything I had seen up to this point.

The lights outlining the headlamps are really gaudy and the rear looks too much like the Camaro.

The rest isn't too bad. I won't be in any hurry to trade in my 2008 ZO6 for one though.
