2014 Chevrolet Corvette renderings leaked

Last week, a few low-resolution images of the front end of the 2014 Corvette were leaked. We didn’t jump on the re-posting bandwagon because, frankly, we didn’t think a black and white line drawing of a Corvette front end with its wheel off was all too exciting. This week, however, a bit more has been leaked and we’re quite excited.

As you can see, the side profile looks distinctly like a Corvette, but the backend is a different story. Thankfully, the designers at Chevy have updated the rear-end for the first time in, well, nearly four decades. In fact, we’re seeing lines in the back of the 2014 Corvette very reminiscent to the Chevrolet Code 130R Concept car that went on display at this year’s Detroit Auto Show in January.

The photos, which are from a service manual, first appeared on Corvette Forum, and while they’re convincing, we can’t confirm their legitimacy. Based upon the detail, however, we’re quite certain they’re dead-on. Just in case, we contacted a GM representative for verification. They were unwilling to comment at this time.

What’s most exciting for tech enthusiasts like us is the image of the center information screen. The screen image suggests that the new Corvette will offer the driver vehicle information like never before. With track times, G forces, steering angle, traction control read outs, miles per hour, and more, the Corvette seems to be stepping away from its low-tech past.

A Chevrolet produced teaser video also shows that the new Corvette will include a customizable digital instrument cluster.

The official release of the 2014 Corvette is set for next month on January 13th at the Detroit Auto Show. As soon as more is known, we’ll be sure to bring it to you.

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette has finally been revealed, but there are still some mysteries surrounding Chevy's radically overhauled sports car. Chevy hasn't released official performance figures, but a poster on Corvette Forum managed to get a peek at an engineer's booklet of specs during the annual Corvettes at Carlisle show. The numbers indicate the 2020 Corvette will be as fast as it looks.

The information comes with an asterisk, though. The car's specs haven't been finalized yet. Another Corvette Forum poster noted that, during a presentation on the car, Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter said his team is still doing final testing and calibration. So the numbers you see here are subject to change.

2020 Corvette: Our Story Continues | ChevroletAfter years of rumors and speculation, the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is finally here with a fresh mid-engine design. But the reveal isn't over. A video released by Chevy confirmed that convertible and racing versions of the new Corvette will debut this fall -- but that's all we know for sure about the two Corvette variants.

The short video starts with footage of what appears to be the CERV I -- a 1960 prototype that started Chevy on the road to a mid-engine Corvette. It then cuts to shots of a camouflaged version of the 2020 Corvette -- or C8, to fans -- with a big rear wing testing on a racetrack, followed by some static shots of the 2020 Corvette convertible. A caption reads "to be revealed Fall 2019."
