It\u2019s safe to assume it\u2019s going to look something like other, recent Corvette models; huge changes don\u2019t happen between single production runs of a car. Below are a few artist renderings depicting the new Corvette; please keep in mind they are <em>not<\/em> actual photos because those\u00a0aren&#8217;t\u00a0available now.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcarfans.com\/111100637206\/2014-chevrolet-corvette-c7-mules-spied-for-first-time\/highphotos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people at Worldcarfans<\/a>, this is what the 2014 Corvette C7 is going to look like from the front. Notice just how much further the mirrors stick out compared to how wide the car is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-197\" title=\"2014 Corvette\" src=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image003.jpg\" alt=\"2014 Corvette\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image003.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image003-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t exactly look like a Corvette; good thing this is just a supposition from one of many artists, each with a different idea of how the new Corvette is going to look. This isn\u2019t exactly an ugly car, but some of the other pictures are better. Take this one for example.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear precisely what person came up with this conceptualization but this sure looks more aggressive, more predatory, more Corvette than the first design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-198 aligncenter\" title=\"2014 C7 Corvette\" src=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"2014 C7 Corvette\" width=\"592\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image005.jpg 986w, https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image005-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this is how the new C7 is going to look, there won\u2019t be too many unhappy customers. This looks like the kind of car people have to get in and drive. Strange enough is the similarity between this concept art and the next, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jalopnik.com\/exclusive-this-is-the-2014-chevy-corvette-5858683\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">design from Jalopnik.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This third could-be picture of the Corvette C7 looks a lot like the second picture. This one has a bulkier front end and the rear is tapered off; there might be a backseat with room for storage or more passengers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-199 aligncenter\" title=\"C7 Corvette\" src=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"C7 Corvette\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image007.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.volvette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/image007-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a more family friendly Corvette, but does it really look like something Chevrolet would produce?

It\u2019s like a DeLorean or something else retro but made anew and far cooler. This sexy new look begs a driver to take advantage by climbing in and putting that quality engine to use.
