New Picture adds to speculation

Last week we showed you a very blurry picture of a mystery supercar on the set of the new Transformers movie, now a new picture has surfaced of the model giving us a much better idea of what it might be. Lets first state that despite the better quality of the shot there are no confirmations this is actually correct, but rumours state we are looking at a new Corvette Concept and possibly a design preview for the next generation scheduled to be launched in 2011.

The model sports a rounded body style we normally associate with the extravagant designs seen on concept models, clearly the headlights are too small for a production vehicle and that pointy nose looks reminiscent of the fighter jet styling of the Lamborghini Reventon.

It is still close to a year before the second instalment of the Transformers movie series is released, so we may need a bit patience before the true identity of the model is fully revealed.

hmm. interesting, I like the retro look of most cars, this stingray retro style is ok (between the paint scheme and body shape it looks even more like the stingray animal then the previous vette), but I think a 50's era retro would have been so much more epic.

Stingray era was the slowest of all vettes, would be stupid to bring that one back.

I'm not sure but it looks like the old vette with some tacky add on body kit. Perhaps it is as it is sitting in a paint both.............

Radmeister must not know much about the ZL1 or 454 Vettes. They were far from slow, and definitely not the slowest Vettes. Try the originals with straight 6 engines???

Oh and the ZL1 and 454 Vettes were of Stingray vintage as well =)

it will not be the next corvette...

I can very well see this as a vette concept. YOu can clearly see a more modernised version of the stingray in this car. Especially the front
