Ed Peper was asked during a webchat if this car would make production as the C7. He said no, that it was merely a design exercise. But, he commented and said he thought the C7 would look "even better".
So I came away with three things:
#1; GM design has Corvette on the brain...and this is a physical example of their thoughts.
#2; The C7 has started the design stages of development.
#3; this is an assumption, I think this car will be the foundation of the C7 Corvette. Some design cues will make production, others won't. And yet more still will be introduced.
IMHO, if they could find some way integrate the traditional Quad taillights and tone down the exhaust tips....It's
perfect!!
