The team that created this C7.R rendering has previously created schemes for actual C6.R race cars
While no one is expecting General Motors to start building its next-generation C7 Corvette anytime soon, the recently unveiled Corvette Stingray Concept that’s set to star in the upcoming Transformers sequel has created a lot of excitement amongst ‘Vette fans. In the movie the Stingray will be used for the Autobot Sideswipe but this rendering shows what the concept could look like if it were an endurance race car.
Starting with the basic Stingray, the guys at BadBoyVettes have envisaged a C7.R complete with Corvette Racing livery and a “Jake” mascot featured on the hood. Incidentally, the team behind this rendering has actually worked with several Corvette race teams in the past, creating design schemes for the actual C6.R race cars.
As for the actual Stingray, the concept car was solely a design exercise and never intended to foreshadow a production model. The overall idea behind the car was to incorporate past design cues in a fully futuristic shape, but also to allow designers to work without any of the usual constraints required for production models.
