Default C7 Corvette Concept

I recently came across a video that I think is clips from Transformers 2 showing a new car with the Corvette emblem, and since new models were used in the first film, I assume this is the official GM C7 concept?










I think it's a very refined amalgamation of the C6 and Stingray. So this basically went retro along with the 2010 camaro. I'm curious about the headlights, and there must serious performance to require front spoilers of that calibur. I'd like to know what motor it's using. Overall, the design embodies a futuristic essence while preserving the signature of what is instantly recognized as the Vette. What do you think?

By the way, Bumblebee apparently received a mod on the intake scoop and front bumper. Perhaps this is to advertise the appearance package from the LS7 SS option for the Camaro?

That was shown as a concept on the auto show circuit. It was called the corvette stingray. I agree its pretty far out there, I think it was just for the transformers movie.

I don't think the Vette has ever been accused of imitating European sports cars. If true, I don't think it would be a good time to start now.

If that's going to be the new Corvette, I can see Camaro sales going through the roof on a Z28 model.
