Next Gen Corvette Rumors
- Thread starter Cobrar
- Start date
As you know, the new Mazda has more than solid styling going for it. Probably the only new chassis to come to market that is considerably less in mass than its predecessor. Everything else seems to gain weight in spite of weight targets. Hats off to Mazda for that car!

Corvette is the exception ! (Nice Abarth “getting air” too)
I think the vast majority of today’s designs are isntantly dated
The last decade of “design innovations”:
-Bangle-butt
-winglet
-ovary-tail light (from 458 to Veloster)
-headLight eye brow (McLaren)
-Angry Turtles exotics (R8, Hurrucan, pagani, etc)
-Chain saw exhaust: M, AMG, R, Infiniti
The 2010s will be remembered for stained alcantara, drone-weary; depreciating dentist cars
Like 2-3 of today’s exotic cars will be worth more than a future new ZO6

Unfortunately, there are few beautifully designed cars today. The GT is a stunner. Jag and Aston Martin (DB 11!) have some beautiful cars, but for the most part cars are no-to-low effort designs.

Description of the new Corvette sounds like they are talking about the GT
Dual Clutch Automatic (8 sp)
Active aero front and rear.

However,
Aluminum, not Carbon. On the heavy side (3500lbs). V8 powered. Nothing revolutionary but it will be a pretty nice car.
Badly written article. Looks like a Ferrari.

If that article were correct and future models would have a FPC V8 with close to 9000 rpm redline, then why would anyone buy first year with a version of the current C7 engine. But it will be interesting to see what/when/if they come up with.
Looks like a Vette from the back.

Exactly...
Of course, there are those who have to be the 1st guy in the country/state/county/town to own 'whatever'.

Because there are a lot of faithful GM guys who believe the LS power plant is the finest performance engine ever created.
