| C7 Corvette body done |
Subject: C7 Corvette body done by Ultraman on 2010/11/16 23:13:50 Reading in this months Motor Trend they are reporting that the new design for the C7 has been completed after a two design in house competition. Like the C6 that evolved from the C5 this 2013 or 14 car will be an evolutionary update of the C6. They call it a C6.5. They are having problems with figuring how to have cylinder deactivation in the V8 when the tranny is rear mounted. They say they need to do that to meet the post 2016 fuel economy standards. I also heard that they are going to use a 5.5 liter direct inject engine which I think is what the GT2 C6.R racing Vettes are using this year. Interesting stuff. Hope the interiors are going to have more options. |
