No. God awful.

That literally looks like they just rebadged a Ferrari. I doubt it'll look quite like that when the dust settles. And Chevy will ALWAYS screw up the looks of the rear end anyway guaranteed.

Video says 5.5 L twin Turbo V8. That could be interesting.

The rear is very thick.. I'm not even looking at the details which are subject to change. To me the allure and difference of the corvette was its long front hood proportions. It had its own design untouched by anyone.. this is just another midengine sports car. Doesn't excite me

Its Government Motors after all. There are enough peeps that no matter what thats the only brand they'll buy.

I agree, but this looks like a pretty distorted funny mirror type image.

Nothing could look worse than their current line up of Vettes. I'm looking forward to this final mid engine version

I think the rendering has potential in my opinion, but won't put too much stock into it quite yet

First thing I thought of when I saw the images was it's a 458 with aftermarket stuff, not necessarily a bad thing. I'm all for competition and for car companies to continue to make great driver-focused cars
