Imagine this is the real deal sitting on a spinning
platform at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. Do you like what you see? While
this new 3D model made by Corvette Forum user Chazcron looks impressive it just
doesn’t seem to have that special something buyers want from a mid-engine
sports car. Yes, the proportions are good and the details are generally nice
but overall this interpretation of the Corvette C8 looks like a generic
mid-engine sports car.
This is in no way a criticism of the artist that
created this 3D model — we’re grateful for it. It’s just a reminder that all
the renderings we’ve seen so far are mostly shots in the dark. All are based on spy photos of
actual 2020 Corvette C8 test prototypes fully-wrapped in camouflage foil that
can very easily trick the eye. Looking at the Chazcron’s 3D model and
renderings, we believe the surfaces will be easier to distinguish on the
finished item.
Also, there seems to be too much metal on the
rendered car in some places, particularly above the rear wheels. From the spy
photos and videos we’ve seen, the Corvette C8 will look more slender in that
area. Obviously, the design is a matter of personal preference and some people
may not see things the way we do.
One thing we can all agree on it’s that the
mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8 can’t come soon enough. Here’s hoping GM will
unveil it at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show in January. We can’t imagine having to
watch this video in a loop until the New York Auto Show in April — but we will
if we have to.
