2013 Chevrolet Corvette
The things that CAFE regulations will make automakers do is pretty frightening for us car enthusiasts. Even some of America’s famous sports cars, like the Corvette, aren’t safe from wrath of strict fuel-economy regulations.

Well we have some good news for you today. No one at GM is talking about a mid-engine C7 Corvette anymore. Previous reports suggested that Bob Lutz and other GM exes were leaning toward a mid-engine layout for the next-generation C7 ‘Vette since it would be easier to cut fuel-economy from a mid-mounted LS3 V8. Basically, GM decided that due to the high-cost of switching from the current front-engine layout to a mid-engine was not worth it.

Still the C7 Corvette is not likely to launch earlier than 2013 as a 2014 model year. According to Motor Trend, a 3.6L direct-injection V6 for the C7 could be on the drawing boards.


The rendering looks great.

Update!

New Corvette Poses on Magazine Covers
General Motors is one of many automakers that adheres to these unwritten rules, which is why you're seeing a snapshot of the yet-to-be revealed 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 posing on the cover of Automobile Magazine's next issue.

Road&Track magazine's cover featuring the front end of the C7 Corvette has also made its way online. We're going to assume Car&Driver is next.

Another set of scanned photos of the 2014 Corvette C7 including the first of the interior were leaked online.






OMG! The interior doesn't look like shit.

i hate it, there's nothing stingray-ish about it at all, which i held in high regard after the new shapeless vettes they started making after the stingray era.

There went sales. And prices on previous gen just went up.

Lexus was unto something when they designed the LFA instrument cluster. Everybody is following suit now.

The interior materials on the new Vette may be better but the design of the dash and center console itself is still lacking.

I'm going to get a lot of shit for this, but it reminds me a lot of the GT-R. It just does. Like a GT-R and the new Viper had a baby, and it came with a Supra interior.
