That is actually one of the better concepts. A couple of things I think would make it better IMO:
1) Have the rear deck line be straight with the top of the door line rather than going up.
2) Move the front wheels forward just a tad.
3) Move the bottom of the windshield forward a little to make the windshield angle less steep.

Those pics are very old somewhere in the 90s of mid engine concept vettes. Look at the wheels, look familar? Personally they looked like crap then, and after all those years they still look like crap. No offence intended.

I know,,,, and the whole Corvette program almost died.
The 265 ci in '55 barely kept the program alive even though 1/3 of the cars made that year (only 700) didn't sell.
Not until '57 with the advent of the 283 fuelie and optional 4 spd did it's future get on solid ground.....
Since then.... we've moved forward (aside from '71-'82)

The 53 and 54 Corvettes were inline sixes. Chevy didn't have the small block until 1955 when it was first put in the Vette. The very first V-8 over head valve Chevy engine was made in 1917 and was produced for two years.
