The story is just another Internet echo. The render is just another C6 knockoff.

Looks just like another C6. I like the ones that make it look like a C3, but a split back window like the C2. THAT Vette will sale! And I'll want one!

Huh? It'll sale? It's a car, not a boat. Did you really mean to type that?
Even then, you spelled it wrong. It's sail. Unless you meant, sell.

Whichever, I agree that it would in fact...sell....if they fix the back end. The rest of the car looks great. Just don't put it in the water and "sale" it.

Interesting that they added the Ferrari 458's whiskers on the front in that render. Either way, it would be nice to see the C7's body generate some downforce as opposed to lift.

That's what I was thinking too.

In the article link, it says: As one designer told Mathews: ”the C7 will knock the current Vette out of the water. It won’t be an old guy’s car anymore.

Was it ever an "old guy's car"? I guess if they want to make it look like a transformer, then it just might appeal to the 18 year olds ... who will still pine for a Vette until they move out of their parents house at the age of 35.

If you read Nat04Z06s post more closely you'll see he does know how to spell "sail"...

Yes, he knows how to spell "Sail". He jumped the OP for using the word "sale" as if it had to do with a "sail" boat.
He may have a sale on sail boats for sell!
