When the first images of this car emerged, we were pretty sure it would be the new generation of Chevrolet Corvette. After all, why would GM build an entirely new car only to appear in a movie, even if a blockbuster like “Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen”? It made no sense at the time and makes even less sense now (if that is possible). This concept, named Stingray Corvette Concept, was supposed to be revealed at GM’s Centennial, but it ended up being presented only this year, at the Chicago Auto Show.
There is no word on engine or technical specs, probably to help GM deny we are in front of Corvette C7. We only got to know the car will be an Autobot called Sideswipe in the movie. Due to the company’s problems, any new car will take a while to emerge, especially one that is so important to GM’s history as Corvette. Denying will also help GM develop the car in peace. We just hope this peace does not change the mean appearance of this 21st century Stingray when it arrives at dealerships, somewhere around 2012.
