Default My C7 "Aerovette" Drawing

This is my drawing of the C7 corvette, I think they should bring back the design of the Aerovette concept from the 70's. So I started with a sketch of the C6 Z06 and worked from there.

I'm not a great artist I just used a simple paint program to put my ideas, maybe some of you Photoshop artists can make a better one for us.

Hide-away headlights off.

UPDATE: this is a design that "fyreline" did over at CF:

I just made it look more like a corvette, I think it looks like a cross between a C3 and Ford GT:


Lights On

Side view, I took this sketch of the FORD GT and made it look more like a corvette:


*Hide-away headlights like the early 90's Jaguar XJ220 that drop down.

You can see the hideaway headlights of the Jaguar XJ220 in operation at 5:35 min into this video:

Come on GM you gave us supercar performance, now give us a supercar design.

Nice design, but so much of todays styling is dictated by aero concerns. With a top speed of 200 mph, it pretty important to manage air both over and under the car. These considerations dictated much of the Z06 package as well as the C6. When top speed went over 150 mph, stylists no longer had a free hand. The tunnel was king!
