http://www.bomengen.com/gm/velite/Velite_12_web.jpg

This is Velite's engine bay. We know it has a V6.....but look at that cross brace. Is it there because Zeta lacks enough rigidity for a convertible?

Everything is pretty well covered, but what can we deduce from this pic?

I'd love to get a peek under those mesh screens.

Just because it is on the concept obviously doesn't mean it will be on the production vehicle. I would put this under the "dressup" catagory.

Yeah I wouldn't read so much into it yet either. Could just be a sort of shock tower brace to enhance handling for a show car....

As long as it's NOT a strut tower brace.

They're hinged from the top like an old Ford Bronco
