Actually it wouldn't be all that different from a '67 either.

And the Corvette lights are 4 separate items, not two joined lenses with two lights each.

The rear end in the "leaked" Corvette images is the part that gives me the biggest sense of unease...

I'm not overly crazy about the taillights on the Camaro. I do not at all wish to see them on Corvette.

Re: Corvette C7 Animation

I think the roof line is off on that render. Something doesn't look right, I can't put my finger on it.

Those red walled tires look fantastic though.

Re: Corvette C7 Animation

This rendering looks pretty sweet. I like the detailing on the front air dam.

On the other had the rear on this rendering is way to Camaroish and I can't see Corvette have that giant gold bowtie on the rear, should be the crossflags.

That looks to be photoshopped directly onto a Camaro with the area around the bowtie left unmodified.

I think this is the real deal (or very close)

Re: Corvette C7 Animation

This is the inside of the actual rear clip. Clearly more like the orange rendering.

Re: Corvette C7 Animation

Check out this video from Chevy. At the 11-12 sec. mark you can see the side view of the C7. Its a bit blurry, but it looks like the car has the traditional vette glass hatch, but its really to blurry to tell. Also it looks like there is a piece of metal trim on the side heat extractor vents on the fender/doors, just like some of the renderings we've seen.

If someone here has video capture software, maybe they can capture those frames and enhance them?
