Many of us have been waiting for the arrival of the next-generation Corvette C7 for quite some time. It’s not so much because we are hardcore Corvette lovers or even because the next generation is getting any dramatic changes to pique our interest, but with so many changes in regulations and the growing awareness of the environment - and the effects that has on our wallets - we were just curious to see if Chevrolet would be biting the bullet and straying away from their trademark V8 engine. A few months ago we shared a video of Chevrolet chief engineer, Tadge Juechter, getting very defensive over the company’s beloved Corvette and it became clear that the next generation would still carry the V8 engine that has gotten them this far, but it would be getting some changes to move with the times.
Those changes have been rumored to be a number of things and, as it turns out, the onslaught of rumors about the new Corvette’s design may just be because Chevy is having an extremely tough time nailing what they feel should be an "evolutionary not revolutionary" new design.
While Chevrolet is tossing ideas around as to how to dramatically increase sales with a new design, we all know that they would never drastically change the design of their iconic Corvette enough to shake the tail feathers of their loyal Corvette customers. For once, we are happy to not have to walk in the shoes of a car designer. That being said, we have an ongoing list of potential details on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette and some thoughts as to which ones will actually make it to the production car.
