That's a Camaro. Prove me wrong.

 

It's someone's wet dream of what the C8 will look like, although Camaros don't have that type of backlight.
The same guys that do the Camaro also do the Corvettes.
Inbreeding............? You decide.

An invitation to hear Author Kenneth Kayser tell the story of the Mid-Engine Corvette.

Ken’s forty-year career of assignments in engineering and management ended with his involvement in the Mid-engine Corvette program when he retired. The author’s vast and unique experiences provide extraordinary insight of the inner workings of then the world’s largest corporation General Motors, Chevrolet Motor Division and Zora Arkus-Duntov’s as yet unknown and unheralded Corvetteachievements. Ken will be offering autographed copies of his books for sale at this event.

General Motors never reported the true fundamental reason why Edward N. Cole was sent to Chevrolet Motor Division as Chief Engineer on May 1, 1952. Likewise, Ed Cole never reported his fundamental reason for hiring Zora Arkus-Duntov on May 1, 1953. Everything was GM Top-Secret!

Ed Cole’s top-secret 1952 assignment at Chevrolet was GM’s largest automobile program in itshistory aimed at re-inventing the automobile. The true GM re-invention and rear-engine developmentstory actually began with GM’s prolific inventor Charles “Boss” Kettering in 1932 and a few suchWWII military vehicles were produced. The re-invented passenger car project began again in 1945with GM President “Engine” Charley Wilson’s announcement only to vanish in 1947 due tounavoidable US government political circumstances. The GM re-invention project was then resumedagain in 1951 at Charles Chayne’s GM’s Engineering Staff by John Dolza and Daryl Caris.

Ed Cole was assigned to lead GM’s Top-secret re-invention project in 1952 by GM Executive V.P. Harlow H. Curtice; well-known around Flint and at Buick, and, to the S.A.E.

Mr. Cole hired Zora Arkus-Duntov in 1953 as his top-secret project development engineer atChevrolet R&D. Ed Cole, John Dolza and Daryl Caris’ top-secret prototype all-aluminum rear-engine, transaxle-transmission and independent rear suspension was cobbled by Zora into his 1953 Corvette, for road test development in early 1954. Zora officially began his quest for a production prototype mid-ship Corvette in 1957, and never looked back.

Yes; the inside scoop on the 4 rotor Corvette among other mid-engine Corvette models!

Image Unavailable, Please Login This is from the design manager of the C8. The 1st acknowledgement of the car.

While spy photos showing the C8's low-slung silhouette and vastly different proportions have circulated on the internet for years now, what you're looking at are the first real photos of the car that Chevrolet has supplied—and the first time the company has even acknowledged the existence of what might be the auto industry's worst-kept secret. GM CEO Mary Barra is making the announcement at the Siller Foundation charity gala in New York, and she was lucky enough to get a ride in the Corvette, driven by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter.

 

Maybe he will give her a handbag to match the wrap! He obviously knows who to curry favour with!!!

There were some C8 pictures in New York on Instagram but rear is covered and also the back window was covered with only the rear camera in view.

Still a Pontiac guy at heart I see >

Couldn’t resist

 

I hope that awkward air intake on the side looks better than it does under the camo...

 

‘Hope’ is not a method.........
