Its certainly going to be different.  If it goes with that side profile and rough look I think it'll be not bad, huge amount of Corvette fans though might be against it departing from the front engine, RWD, GT style.  Big brave move from Chevy to try it. I think its prob good change though as its been the same look for some time and was starting to get dated, even the latest still has hints of C5 lol

[LRF4N]

Different? Apart from the obvious the lights are almost identical to the C7?

[ATTAK Z]

I think we can agree that the proportions are definitely different

 

 

[LRF4N]

Yea with the new layout the proportions are different, looks great. But head on from the front and rear it’s almost the same car

[StevoD]

Did someone photoshop corvette lights on a nsx 

[ATTAK Z]

Corvette

NSX

Aventador Muira

Pantera

 

[StevoD]

Be interesting to see if it stays in the same price bracket now 

[Jetpilot]

Those rectangular side intakes lake serious imagination, much more blending and shaping required otherwise a good looking car imho.

 

I didnt read the whole article but rhd? Would have thought it would have to be?

[Ekona]

Where did you get rhd from? Can’t see that happening when the standard Vette isn’t rhd either.

 

Also no manual option  

[LRF4N]

So is this running alongside the standard car? I thought it was a new model. That would explain the similar design, didn’t think they would go all Porsche on us lol

[Ekona]

Yes, it’s in addition to and sitting above the current car.

[LRF4N]

Ah makes sense. With the C8 name tag I thought it was the next generation 

[ATTAK Z]

It may be pitched against the Ford GT 

[Ekona]

Can't see it being that expensive, it'd never sell. I reckon probably twice whatever the regular Vette costs now.

[ATTAK Z]

Regular Vette starts at about £70K

$60K according to the Chevvy website. But then a ZR1 is $121K, and the C8 would need to be significantly above that. I reckon a starting price of $160k would do it, so £115K there or thereabouts.

[Ekona]

Interestingly the R8 starts at $165K, so yeah I reckon I'm pretty close to being on the money with that guess!

[StevoD]

although the ZR1 is a gt3rs like version cant see the base midship being as track focused initially.
