I think it would have been cool if GM made the mid-engine supercar a Cadillac, called it Zora, and kept the front-engine layout of the Corvette alone... That way, it could be a super high performance, low production halo car like the Ford GT. Also, there's still a chance this could turn out to be a Caddy, as one of the first prototypes was spotted in Cadillac, Michigan... Ha ha!

Every time I see the blue one my mind instantly says Jaguar xj220.

Oh wow... I hadn't thought about that. But this concept does look like the Jag. I loved that car, and funny how the prices for those really haven't started to climb yet. Remember it had it's own racing series?
