Exclusive: Internal Design Team Notes for C7 Corvette Revealed!

[1]

One of the hottest current topics among the Corvette faithful has been what the next-gen C7 Corvette, slated to debut as a 2014 model, will be like. Jalopnik has published [2] their own highly-accurate (according to them – just ask!) renderings of what the new Corvette will look like, and test mules have been photographed [3] during [4] winter testing [5]. There has also been much speculation (perhaps too much [6]) on what the future holds for Corvette powerplant development – a high-revving pushrod V8 featuring direct injection and some sort of displacement-on-demand arrangement seems like a sure bet, but there has been conjecture about engines as non-traditional as a small-displacement turbo V6 sitting between the fenders of the new C7.

Too True to be Good?

Well, here at Corvette Online, we pride ourselves on our inside connections at GM, and now, thanks to a strategic leak, we can reveal notes from the design team never before seen outside the cloistered and sworn-to-secrecy C7 Corvette engineering community. In order to protect our source(s) from reprisals, rather than reproducing the actual memo(s) here, we will be summarizing the critical bullet points. Here’s what you can expect for the 2014 model year:

That’s it for our list of secret inside C7 info… Stay tuned, as there may be more critical information coming our way as the next-gen Corvette’s release date approaches!
