The mid-engine, C8 Corvette is surely one of the
industry's worst kept secrets and even though Chevy has remained quiet about
the vehicle, we all know it is coming to shake up the supercar industry.
The most recent reports indicate that GM will
replace the Corvette C7 with the all-new model in early 2019 and there's a
strong possibility it will adopt a similar styling language to the current car
but in the overhauled body style. Corvette Forum has a couple of renderings
that try to depict just this.
The designer behind the renderings created the C8's
front fascia by taking cues from the current Corvette and mixing it with the
headlights from those of previous Corvette Daytona Prototypes. Also included at
the front are a set of large air intakes that adopt a similar angular design to
the existing model.
The designer made the most of his artistic freedoms by
incorporating quad tailpipes and LED taillights which appear thinner and have
been flipped from those of the C7. The result may not immediately look the
best, but the longer you look at it, the better it appears.
