2014 Corvette C7 Super GT Illustrated by Iacoski


We've already featured some illustrations by Jacek Kolodziejczyk from Iacoski design like the BMW F30 M3 Coupe which was largely appreciated by our readers. This time Jacek strikes back with an illustration of a track-ready version of the recently unveiled Corvette C7 Stingray. The designer took inspiration from the the Japan Super GT Championship beasts. And we really love the result!

I you liked Iacoski's Super GT Corvette C7, maybe you should check out Jonsibal's Corvette C7R. The two artists went in two different directions when creating their designs but one thing is sure, we love them both and we would like to see those machines on the race track one day!

Corvette C7R Race Car Illustration By Jonsibal

Illustration by Jonsibal

Jonsibal, one of the most successful speculative rendering artists on the internet, revealed an illustration of what the Corvette C7R race car might look like. The illustration is based on pictures of the new Corvette C7 Stingray, freshly revealed at the Detroit Auto Show last weekend. We hope that it won't take Chevrolet too much time before they introduce the C7R race car. And it'll be just fine for us if it looked exactly like the one pictured above.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Officially Revealed! (UPDATE)

General Motors finally took wraps off the long awaited and painfully teased Corvette C7 and we think it was worth waiting. The new Vette is powered by the all new all-new LT1 small-block 6.2-Liter V8 producing 450 Hp and 610 Nm (450 ft/lb). The engine sends power to rear wheels through a 7-speed manual or a six-speed paddle shift automatic transmission. No performance numbers have been released yet but the 0 to 100 Km/h (62 mph) time is expected to be under 4 seconds since the new Vette has a better power to weight ratio than the previous model.

Aesthetically, the new Vette is pretty much what we were hoping for. It's a huge change over the C6 but it's unmistakably a Corvette. The car is built around an aluminum frame and has a prefect 50/50 weight distribution.



The interior is a real improvement over the previous model and with a 14.1-inch diameter, the steering wheel is slightly smaller. The lightweight magnesium frame seats will be available in two versions: "GT" and "Competition Sport". As its name suggests, the latter will be more adapted to track use.

Pricing has not been announced yet and the car won't be available for the buyers before six months. So until then, you can contemplate the gorgeous new Vette in the gallery below. and stay tuned for more pictures and videos.
