EXCLUSIVE PROOF: The Mid-Engined Chevrolet Corvette Is Happening!

 

Not a vette, looks like a Maloo/Ute. Think current (also bad@$$) El Camino

At least that;s what I'm hoping... Otherwise there is some powerful ugly in the new super vette.

 

That's just a test chassis - final car wouldn't look at all like that. Honestly, I can't believe they're testing this vehicle. I said I'd never believe it but there it is. Should be an awesome machine when they really start to develop it.

That said, this thing is a long way from production - plenty of work left to do if they're using a basic mockup like that...

 

I guess it's possible, I've never seen a company go to such extreme lengths to disguise a car. Every time we've seen a pre-production vette it's just had the standard cammo treatment. A whole different body is taking it to a completely different level.

On a side note, I'd love to see Chevy make an entry level car with an LS motor, and wheelbase as short as this is speculated to have.

 

Probably be a great car, but if C&D's forecast of a $150,000 supercar pricetag, no care.

They would get my interest up with a modern Fiero interpretation with a turbo four or the 3.4 liter six in a midengine $40,000 car, just minus the Iron Duke engine fires.

 

If that's the real deal, then everyone talking about Car and Driver a few months ago will be eating crow.

 

It is undoubtedly the C7 cockpit wedged in there...

Being the main shit talker, I don't plan on eating any crow. Car and driver is throwing out a full set of details about it (inclduing when it will be released, calling it a C8, etc) and I just think they don't have any real info. Even IF gm is testing a mid-engine chassis, it is way to early to be throwing out renderings of what it might look like, especially that ug-mobile they put on the front cover...

Having said that, I would take the mule in those photos, I think it is beautiful the way it is!

 

I'm one of them. I did not put any stock in this car. I'm still skeptical.

 

Pretty awesome camo.

 

I wouldn't call that camo, I would call it a test mule. They probably used the ute because it has a big empty space in the back to put an engine. Who knows, GM could just be f$%king with us too..
