C7 Corvette

?? 2014 C7 Corvette

?

As you might have saw at the North American Auto Show this year, the new C7 Corvette has been released, and Chevy has some big and not-so-big surprise in store. With all new styling,

Engine

No, as some rumors said that Chevy would go for a V-6, but these rumors, thankfully turned out to be fake, Chevy went with the traditional small-block V-8, which is estimated, to make around 480hp, around 40hp more than the C6 Corvette, which means you are going to shave some time off your lap times, and with improvements to the handing, with lower springs, and anti-roll bars. You might even spend less time at the pump also, with an estimated EPA rating of 29mpg highway. But again, none of these specs are facts, but estimates on what these engines can perform.

Styling

The C7 Corvette has taken some big risks in the style, but it looks like those risks turned out to be huge success, the new headlights are exposed (sorry C2-C5 fans) and have a much more aggressive look to them, with sharp lines, with a slimmer look to them. The taillights look light they smashed the lights from the C5, and the C6, and then blacked them out, and surprisingly, it�s a great combination, looks mean, yet has the retro look. The body, is now being switched from using steel, to using aluminum, which is lighter, and stronger, so you can make the most out of the 480hp.

I think that the new C7 will be a huge hit for the Chevy, it has all the right ingredients, plus, they have improved just about everything from the older model, its faster, lighter, more comfortable, and most importantly, looks great!
