2013 Chevrolet Corvette C7




The 2013 Corvette is a 2-door, 2-passenger sports car, or convertible sports car, available in 21 trims, ranging from the Coupe 1LT to the ZR1 3ZR.

Upon introduction, the Coupe 1LT is equipped with a standard 6.2-liter, V8, 430-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The ZR1 3ZR is equipped with a standard 6.2-liter, V8, 638-horsepower, supercharged engine that achieves 14-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.

The 2011 Corvette is a carryover from 2010. 


Given the concept’s massive wheels, exaggerated exterior, and extremely low roofline, there’s almost no way the production C7 Corvette will look exactly like it. However, we don’t think GM has created this concept for no reason at all.
With that in mind, we’ve created a speculative illustration of the production C7 based on the concept. It has small LED headlights that create a similar effect to the hideaway lamps of yore, and the overall styling is a fusion of new and old design cues.
Although details surrounding the C7 project remain scarce, General Motors has confirmed that the C7 Corvette will begin production in April 2012 as a 2013 model. The C7 Corvette will retain its front-engine layout, forgoing a more costly – and complex – mid-engine setup.
One speculated engine option would be a twin-turbo 3.6-liter DOHC V6 capable of 400 horsepower. If the V6 engine does make it into the production C7, you can count on a premium V8 to be available as well for those who like the classic V8 rumble Corvette’s are known for.
This is an awesome car, I think it would be a proud iteration of the Corvette. This is being quite optimistic that GM survives though…
LLL#3 – No. GM is Corvette and Vice-versa. It’s the same as saying, “I hope Mustang spins off of Ford” That’s their iconic product and I think it should live and die-if that is to be- with GM. Maybe someone buys the Corvette production line, but by no means should they ever use the name that GM made and perfected.
