Here at Carscoop, we love us some Corvette design studies. Heck, if we wanted to we could probably serve up a new one every day of the week.
T
oday�s CAD mock up comes from transportation design student James Robbins. Think of it as a C6.5, a stopgap measure between the current gen Corvette and a future C7 model. The design brief required Mr. Robbins to use the basic proportions of the C6, which limited what could be done with the design.
Now here�s my two cents:
I find the shape of the bootlid and the V-shaped side intakes to be quite pleasing to the eye, but the ugly Dodge Viper / Ferrari 458 Italia taillights don�t fit the car at all. Also, the front end styling is a bit too conservative and I feel that more could have been done with the glasshouse. The overall design is good but it�s hard to say if that�s due to Mr. Robbins� tweaking or the C6�s nice proportions.
I can�t help but feel that with a little more work around the head- and taillights, this could have been a real stunner. As it stands, it�s a good effort though just not quite there. But don�t take my word for it. Voice your own opinion in our comments section.
