LATE 2012: Corvette C7
The
current 'Vette has looked the same for nearly 13 years. Though it's
still an amazing car, delivering Ferrari-like performance for one-fifth
the price, it's dated in many respects. Expect a lot from the all-new C7
Corvette, then, with cool exterior cues like a split rear window and a
vastly upgraded interior that's well above the coach-class quarters of
the present car. But handling, which has always been the car's strongest
suit, will remain largely unaltered. Horsepower targets in the 400-450
range would be a safe bet for this $50,000 car, even as GM aims to lower
displacement to shave weight and nudge up the fuel economy. There might
even be forced induction of some kind, and it's perfectly reasonable to
expect direct fuel injection for the newest crown jewel of the Chevy
badge.
