Moments | Design - Rejected C5 Design
Looks familiar? Aside from the 300ZX C-pillars, maybe the roots of the C7 Stingray can also be traced.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 convertible in the Geneva Motor Show
Seems like the convertible version of the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will have its public presentation at this years Geneva Motor Show starting from March 7. This means the convertible will go on sale later this year. And it isn't the first time Chevrolet introduced the convertible version of the Corvette in Europe. In 2004 the sixth-generation Corvette convertible had his premiere in Geneva.
Nothing is confirmed, but the engine is expected to be the same from the coupe, a new 6.2liter LT1 V8 engine with an estimated 450hp (335 kW) and 610Nm (450 lb/ft) of torque connected to a seven-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. The new convertible should retain the fabric top. We should also find out the prices for Europe.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7. The Return of the Stingray [Video]
Here you have one of the most anticipated premieres of the Detroit Auto Show. GM calls it the return of the Stingray comparing it with the model from 1963, which equally incorporates, according to General Motors North America President Mark Reuss, "performance leadership, delivering cutting-edge technologies, breathtaking design and awe-inspiring driving experiences,”.
The Corvette Stingray only shares two parts with the previous generation and those don't include the all new frame structure, chassis, powertrain, interior and exterior.
About the powertrain, the C7 has a new 6.2liter LT1 V8 engine with an estimated 450hp (335 kW) and 610Nm (450 lb/ft) of torque connected to a seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching or an automatic gearbox with six speeds, meaning it will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in less than four seconds.
The engine uses several new technologies to help save fuel, such as, direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing and an advanced combustion system. All of this allows for a consumption of just 9l/100km (26 US mpg).
The use of composite and carbon-fiber body panels, hydroformed aluminum frame with aluminum and magnesium structural and chassis components allow for a 50/50 weight distribution.

The sports car will be built at GM’s Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant and sales will start in the third quarter of 2013.
