General Motors has announced about its production of C7 Corvette sports car to be starting in 2012 which is in advance of a planned launch in 2014.
Actually the American car manufacturer is apprehensive to take advantage of the interest that would be brought about by the car. This car was actually to be launched in 2014 but has been advanced.
The car is expected to have a littler and lighter body utilising weightless materials like carbon fibre, aluminum and magnesium.
It may most likely include a smaller, but still very efficient engine and because of its lighter body it ought to preserve the essential power-to-weight relation called for from long-established Corvette owners.
Corvette Purists will be happy to note that the new car will hang on to its front-engined layout – which is a hallmark of the car for the past 57 years.
Titling-wise, the car might look like that of the Corvette Stingray Concept that came out at the Chicago Motor Show this year. It will feature the CTS-V’s LSA powerplant for its engine. A twofold-clutch gear case is also on the anvil as it may either want to keep up with the Porsche 911 or even the Nissan GT-R.
