Here it is folks: the 2015 C7 Corvette Z06:

A couple noted features:

• Paddle Shifters on the steering wheel
• 8-speed automatic reportedly will be available
• Muscular body kit with various carbon fiber aerodynamic bits and pieces

Red. Must be Crystal Red

"All Corvettes are Red. Any other color is a mistake." Words spoken by GM's head test driver John Heinricy in the book All Corvettes are Red. No truer words were ever spoken so make mine red!

 

[COEX-PILOT]

Someone at GM must not be happy these got out!

 

[Rob99]

Whoa!!

This is the first glimpse I've caught and I truly think I need to see more before I say anything. As cool as it is to get a sneak peek, I think possibly it may look better from different camera angles or possibly a color change. I guarantee as soon as I post this I will see what else I can find to hopefully get a better sense of what the car really looks like. I really hope I find better pics. hnoes:ugh

The only think I don't like are the tail lights... Even though they changed from "round" over the years I still like the oblong style, I think the direction they have recently gone makes it look like a Camero from the distance...

Wife just gave me the thumbs up to buy, so long as she get's her Kale green Kia Soul (is that baby sh*t green, or something?) Make mine a convertible...

I'm with you, I don't like the tail lights either. I don't think they have to necessarily be round, just not those "angled" rectangular units that are on it.

I would like to see a rendering of a C7 with just straight "non-angled" rectangular tail lights on it to see what they look like.....

 

[MRANT212]

One word.......STUNNING!!!

 

[Toque]

I'll take a Silver one !
Looks great !

Now.... where does the front license plate go ?

Toque

Sweet!!!

Wow, it looks awesome! Now all I have to do is hit the lotto so I can afford one. I'll just have to make do with my lowly 600+hp C5 for a few more years...ah, the suffering!:L

I'm right there with ya. I keep playing but I'm lucky if I win enough to afford the purchase of a pencil. otfl

 

[Toms007]

It looks pretty sweet! As far as the taillights and the rear fascia, I saw my fisrt C7 "in the flesh" the other night, I really didn't think there would be anyone mistaking the Corvette for the Camaro.

 

[Huskerman]

I like it......at 620 hp I think they were saying, it just might be fun to drive......I have not even seen a new C7 out on the streets yet so can't wait to see one of the Z06's
