Wow have you had a chance to check out the shopped images of what Jalopinik.com thinks the new 2014 C7 Corvette will look like. All I can say is let’s hope this is the stylistic direction that Design team head down. It will then not be a shocker when we say that “We really like this sketch of the Vette” especially from the rear quarter panel back.
We have had countless debates on how the corvette sting ray concept car that was featured in the Transformers movies, offends us. It personally reminded me of Mark Wahlberg driving his broken down 77 sting ray in the movie Boogie Nights. Putting a car that had similar styling to that into production would in our option would be a colossal mistake.
Sure the retro look is working for the current crop of Detroit Muscle Cars, but the Corvette is so much more than that. It is a car that has always been able to compete with any of the European exotics however those cars are so rarely seen on North American roads, making them tough to race against.
This Resulted in the Corvette receiving more of a Muscle Car image because every video you see of one its racing another piece of Detroit steel. We would hate to see the C7 adopt that same retro muscle car image instead it should head down to the Cadillac show room to draw some inspiration from the CTS-V. Then and only then will the Next Generation Corvette be ready to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, or the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, and what every Lamborghini puts out in 2014.
No word on how or when the new Vette with be revealed could Detroit of 2013 be too soon? We don’t think so the only question is how many hits a day we will be up to when we report on that Car Launch.
