Expected to get a V8 5.5-liter engine.
General Motors has announced this
week that the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) will make its public debut at
the 2013 Detroit Motor Show on January 13. Along with the seventh
generation Vette, GM is showing the all-new emblem that according to the
company’s vice president of global design “reflects the character of
the next Corvette.”
Based on the most recent reports, the C7 is an
entirely new model, except for the removable roof panel’s rear latch and
the cabin air filter. There will be a lot of changes inside the cabin,
while on the outside it will retain some of the traditional elements,
like the short rear deck and the long hood. It will also feature round
taillights and is expected to be powered by a V8 engine with
direct-injection. While the C6 has a displacement of 6.2-liters, the new
model could be downsized to 5.5-liters, but it should be more powerful
and frugal.
The production of the Corvette C7 will commence in
August or September next year, while the Bowling Green, Kentucky factory
where they currently make the C6 is expected to be shut down in
February next year.
GM has also made a countdown for the new Corvette where they will provide additional info and videos in the weeks to come.
