There have renderings out from Jalopnik for a few months ( Exclusive: This is the 2014 Chevy Corvette (http://jalopnik.com/5858683/exclusive-this-is-the-2014-chevy-corvette) ) and they are very close to what C&D have come out with. So I am fairly confident this is what it will look like. No real interior shots except from outside the spy car showing the seats.

[MeFryRice]

The roof line looks similar to the GTR/370Z. The rear end looks like an ugly bitch that got hit with a 2x4.

[RandomGuy]

very supercar-like

wonder how the Z will look

[VQ35 Star]

i like the front end, the rear kinda reminds of a racoon.

[On_Her_Face]

The motor will be named "LT1" which most of us know has already been used. This will still be a 6.2L but with up to date technology vvt, di, and cylinder shut down (not on manuals woot!).

Here is the dyno sheet from GM and a picture of the motor. At first I was not impressed with the peak numbers of the LT1 but the horse power curve looks good to me compared to the LS3 curve. However it still says projected. The TQ curve is close to the LS7 curve which definitely excites me.

[Franco Tirador]

yeah, i seen the new viper, that thing is no joke, good competition for this, dont feel like looking for pics

[On_Her_Face]

The front of the Viper is a little too rounded for me. I will have a Viper one day but with insurance it will be a C7 next for me or CTS-V wagon. However she'll (the Viper) be a beast and out of the league of the "Base" or "GS" Corvette in this post.

[Sinfix_15]

That rear end angers me greatly.

[E36slide]

Looks like a new Camaro rear end...gay

[boostedb16]

Looks like a new Camaro rear end...gayi was going to say the same. it looks good on the camaro but looks like ass on the vette.

[Sol-Badguy]

It looks like a Ferrari California and a Camaro had a horrible love child..

[SHAUNvX]

I have always loved the corvette, And the ZR1 is just chevy perfection to me, But this vette is ugly as shit. Chevy droped the ball on this one.

[On_Her_Face]

More from C & D.... Looks better here but I still want to see it in person. Hopefully these are just renderings

With all of the information being passed around over on corvetteforum.com I will have to disagree. This may not exactly be it however I bet this is very close..

[l Gizzy l]

why is it on every new car it seems the designers start at the front, and by the rear fender they just go "fuck it" and slap some shit on?

Camaro, Taurus, GT86/BRZ, EVO X all have awful rear ends

Notice the Hoffmeister kink, the slope of the rocker panel, and all of the angles of the rear. It's just a shop (a professional one) of a GTR with the C7 nose and Camaro elements on the rear.

Yes I do agree very similar, I just don't think it's a PS from the GTR. Hopefully you are right so the back does not look that way. Is it completely impossible that they both have the kink?

Also the leak from Omega this summer also leaves me to believe this is the front.

On these spy-shots, I am rather intrigued by the fact that the camouflage is purposely allowing airflow past the side windows. Clearly they want/need air moving through there for testing otherwise the material would be flush from the b-pillar to the body.

I can't get that thing to do any better than a 7:40 on the Nürburgring.

I got it to do a 7:36 with an oil change. However can't really compare these to real life. Clarkson pointed this out with the NSX a few years back lol.

There looks to be some type of intake on the rear hatch. Could be just for the brakes or tranny/diff?

A lot of people on CF forum are not happy about it. I personally like it. Can't wait until they hit the streets :goodjob:

[Doppelgänger]

I haven't a clue myself. I see door handles, but those don't need vents lol. I'd imagine any diff cooling could be sourced under the car. Notice the exit vents in the material as well. Looks like there is some sort of diffusing/venting on the sides of the rear bumper as well...afterall, the C6's bumper is quite the parachute....at least it seems everytime I see one driving at highway speed and observe the rear bumper flexing. The other speculation is that the camouflage is "opened" like that in an effort to hide the rear hatch/body lines and the exit vents are just part of this. I'm guessing this is also the case with the "wing" on the rear- just a way to throw off the body lines. I'd also hope the rear hatch really isn't that flat either. Lastly, the bulges on the rear bumper and the extra hard-lines on the door are suspect of throwing off the lines of the car IMHO.

FWIW on GT5 under the camo they have vents on the hatch...

Edit: You can actually see it on the 3rd picture you posted.

[Doppelgänger]

Very interesting. I honestly couldn't tell if that was a door handle or not in the other pics.

Edited post after finding the following quote-


But Chevrolet took a little time to elaborate about the C7′s design and aerodynamics, through the voices of Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter and exterior design manager Kirk Bennion.

“The all-new Corvette integrates more high-performance aerodynamic features than ever before, many taken directly from Corvette Racing”, Juechter said. “For example, the front grill and radiator flow paths reduce lift, improving vehicle stability at high speeds by keeping the car pressed to the pavement. In addition, functional vents increase track capability by channeling air to the brakes, as well as heat exchangers for the transmission and differential.”

I'm having fun sifting through pictures and trying to figure this out. I'm sure there is plenty of talk on CF and similar forums, but I don't frequent those, so...
I can see why some may not be happy about having vents on the side/back "ruining" the lines of the car though. In the few spy shots of the 'vert, I can't really make out if there are vents there or not.
I wonder if the vents will be part of a package or performance model (ZXX?)

http://strumors.automobilemag.com/files/2012/10/Chevrolet-Corvette-Convertible-C7-right-front-in-motion-spy-shot-11.jpg

I can see something there, but it's not nearly as pronounced as it seems in the coupe shots.

Yeah there is a lot of information on CF but it's so boring due to all of these old men bitching about taillights and speculating on how much road noise the car is going to have. However I have been searching for what the sports package will be such as the Z51 on the 2006-2009 cars (later replaced by the grand sport) and have not found much. I know that a dry oil sump will be offered in the package but nothing else for sure. Also it might just be the grand sport package just like the late C6s or something similar. Those function vents are pretty cool that they will be directed to all three; brakes, tranny, and diff. Where did you find that quote at? Also who knows if any of this will be offered the first year of production. A separate aero package would be sweet on these cars. Why can't it just be 1/13/13?? hahaha

Edit: Truthfully I haven't even seen the vert test mule.

Looks like the kink is there, according to this post. Also from the second picture it seems like there will be enough room for the vents we were talking about on the rear deck.

[Doppelgänger]

If they are, they're not cut out on that piece yet. Seems like they might be leaving it an option and may not apply to all models.

Yes I was assuming from the "dip" down areas where the vents would be placed.

Excuse my lack of knowledge with Chevys but does the new Super Sport vette have a shorter back glass than the standard C6? Kinda like the 1st gen ZO6?

I think you mean the C6 Grand Sport. It has the same back window as the C6 Z06. However the GS does not have a fixed roof like the Z06 (the GS has a targa top just like the Regular Coupes). With the C5 The Z06 has shorter glass (no hatch and actual trunk like the convertibles) and there was also a Corvette made in '99 before the Z06 called the Fixed Roof Coupe which also has the shorter glass.

I can't see a difference in the glass on the C6.
Also, the easy way to spot the C5 FRC compared to a Z06 is the vents in front of the rear wheels...they are missing on the FRC.

[Bacon]

Yeah thats what I was referring to. Saw a GS at an IHOP earlier and thought I saw a shorter rear glass. Probably seeing things.

The glass on the C6's are the same dimensions. Differences include; fenders, quarter panels, front bumper, hood (ZR1), roof (ZR1/Z06 carbon), halo (ZR1/Z06 carbon), lip spoiler (front and rear), side skirts (zr1/Z06 carbon). IIRC the panels are different materials between GS, Z06, ZR1 (maybe the carbon Z06 too).

Never knew the FRC did not have the rear brake ducts.

[Doppelgänger]

Yeah, I knew on the C6 that GM used different materials on the body panels across the variations/models and that the ZR1 had a fuckton of other stuff.

There might be some doubles but I think that's enough photos.

Kinda disappoint- looks like a rejected 599 design....with an incredibly ugly rear design. Not only are the tail light terrible, but the quad exhaust is way too busy, dual would have been better.

There is so much about the C7 that has impressed me. I love the front, sides, and I like the rear. The interior to me is up to date and the gadgets seem very cool. I can see what you mean with the exhaust and I can agree. The red with the black grille, vents, and wheels looks amazing in my opinion. However I wish it was one big exit like the Aventador. My biggest complaint is the horsepower/torque and the weight of the car.

Overall there is a big split on opinions with the C7.

Although my opinion stands, I would like to see a grey convertible.

I'll be curious to see the production version. I bet some things change between now and then. Though I say "rejected 599", that's not really an insult as the 599 looks spectacular. The side profile and the front look pretty good, but it's that back view that is killing it for me. I also don't like that "pinched" hatch slope...it's too angular for my taste. Gm has really stepped away from the wedge design that had been going for so slong, that's for sure.

[ssonsk]

It looked dumb on the renderings, but the real one is on a whole nother level :O

[Sinfix_15]

i like it......... but it doesnt look like a corvette at all. Looks like the designers got together and said "lets make it look ferrari-ish" also... why they calling it a stingray? looks nothing remotely like a stingray.

Anyone know how much this is going to cost? :x

A completely base C6 you can get in the 40k range depending on deals and what not. I think this base will be $53kish. Then you have to add on z51 package, magnetic ride, now upgraded seats, and probably GPS bringing you into the $60k range.

[Sil'vr-Boi6]

I like 95% of the C7, the 5% I don't like is the Camaro spoiler likeness and a little of the taillights. The side profile and especially that rear glass design is to die for. I'm gonna guess a stock C7 will have less of the dark carbon fiberish accents, less pronouced front bumper lip, less aggressive spoiler lip. You guys have to understand that this chassis will last for some times maybe into 2022. Pushing the envelope is exactly what they done and I believe this design will carry it confidently into 2018(5yrs from now). I'm more excited to know what the skin is made of and the rear mounted trans and coolers.

Both look great to me!

Kill it before it spreads... The only thing I like is the interior. That's it. The body and wheels are, gross. I see more Ferrari, then Chevrolet body wise. Then, sorta Camaro tails. With Viper/California headlights. With gtr quarter panels, and rear side window. If they were going for a stingray, it should have pop-up head lights, the correct door handles, Correct side vent, Along with a few other things.

[On_Her_Face]

What would be the correct vents, headlights, and door handles on a "new up to date" Stingray? That seems to be a silly comment due to the changing times. I know people out there want it to stay traditional but that's who gets left behind, traditionalists. Also on a side note during the release the BMOC at GM said they only give the term "Stingray" to "special" Corvettes. Which I assume to be the models that are revolutionary compared to the previous models. For example the '63 the first year of the coupe which changed the tradition along with many other changes (the first Sting Ray). Then the term Stingray was used in the 70s I guess for "special" reasons as well except I can't think of any off the top of my head except for lower horsepower ratings and styling changes.

Not bashing just throwing out discussion.

[KyleG]

Just an opinion.. My opinion isn't going to stop a thing, just making discussion of my point of view being a classic car enthusiast.

I am with you there on classic cars, however this car isn't a classic... yet. :goodjob:

There are some cars out there though that do retain classic looks Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger. They are however in a different class of car.

There is no "right" or "wrong". Hell if GM let the people decide the car would never get built or it would look like the Hills Have Eyes.

That is really rad. I wonder when that will be out at ALMS. Haven't seen it yet. It's hard to find threads with C7 information on CF. Everybody is bitching at people, bitching at people bitching.

Exhaust video... I guess this is the one with valves that open up... I hope not ha.

I haven't been on CF lately and will try to find more information behind the story. At least it wasn't a dark grey one! Nobody likes blue cars or the people that drive them. :lmfao:

Oooooooops.

The stock exhaust (actually it's optional) sounds great...
