It seems my earlier opinion that GM would never invest the funds for a very small volume mid-engine Corvette was wrong. These photos do seem to indicate one is in the works. I would suggest this is a chassis development mule, based on the fact that the body is cobbled together from a number of current vehicles. The cockpit is obviously Stingray, the nose Holden. Not sure about the rear. I would guess the extreme width at the wheels is intended to hide the true proportions of the car. I would expect the final car to have a strong family resemblance to the Z06, and certainly nothing like these photos or concept renderings floating on the web.

I wonder if the forum should start a new section for future models? I've seen photos and video of what could be a Grand Sport variant as well.
