Leaked 2015 Corvette ZO6 pics

[CSV_LS1]

Looking good
Auto option this time too with paddles.

[SPNAGE]

Looks tough.

[nstg8a]

Looks miles better than the current model IMO.

[mytgxl]

I wouldn't knock it back if they wanted to keep it on my driveway

[DJM83]

Yep, wouldnt say no either.

Theres one in a GT6 licence test im certain.

[BHDOGS]

To try hard racer for my liking

[ozpacman]

Ooh yeah -very nice!

Some subtle design cues from the C3 (1963-67) coupe in that roof line and rear window I reckon.

Russ.

[Dave R]

A few too many exterior tack-ons for my taste. Keen to see it in a nice grey or black.

[MITCHAY]

Looks awesome. I wonder if they will make another ZR1.

[MAGPIE]

Love it

[mik]

I miss the old muscle car days of the vette, it is starting to look too much like a race car or an exotic, sort of leaving its muscle car heritage behind, but i wouldn't knock one back either.

With Top Gear being such a SUPERCAR orientated show and they're last test of the Vette Clarkson was'nt too impressed. Especially the floppy plastic rear light panel!

I think GM are trying to break into this market now with a car that gives huuuuge performance for a very reasonable price.

[1TUFFUTE]

Looks far better then I was expecting thats for sure.

[Cobra]

Looks awesome but it's what I would have expected a C7 ZR1 to look like, not Z06. Still, no complaints from me, it's tough as!

[FPV8U]

It might have a few bolt on bits but you can bet your @$$ they are all Aero effective, Racecar for the streets, nice!

[duaned]

Still prefer the shape of the Mustang but with an interior like that I can overlook this!

[SpoolMan]

Lots of curves, the design doesn't look like an American built/styled muscle car, if the thread didn't say Corvette l would have thought a Japanese or Korean styled car.

[FPV GTHO]

It looks very aggressive. I like the cockpit idea for the interior but I see that and think there is 0% chance for that to be RHD.

[fgpsi]

That might just be the best looking car I've ever seen

[GASWAGON]

Lets hope they've removed the old leaf springs the last one had and finally put some a modern system in!

Mind you the T.G Z06 test is IMPRESSIVE......7.0 ltrs of American grunt!

You may want to educate yourself on the composite leaf rear suspension. It's a trick piece of kit.

You are right its absolutely nothing like the original 'leaf spring' design......In actual fact its border line 'independent' going buy some of the pics on Wikipedia. The Vette design isn't independent because its just one spring but the design with a spring each side is basically independent.

Hmmm the Germans and Italians may be scratching ther heads lol!

And Clarkson obviously never realised the difference in design!

Basically it's an independent single A-arm rear setup with a swaybar and one leaf spring. For all intents and purposes, that leaf could be given a totally different name and the rear end would then be considered independent. I find it curious that the use of a single leaf spring which is retained within the A-arm or wishbone which itself is designed to stabilise the A-arms from excessive independent movement is the predominant component used to describe the architecture of the design.

It seems the car industry is not recognising this new 'composite leaf spring' design properly.......As I said Clarkson of all people doesn't know the difference or Hammond either because neither of them said anything about it on the TG Vette test???

Here I was thinking the late model Vette has massive 'old style' leaf springs under it with a 7.0ltr LS3 producing 500HP LOL!!!!!!!

Thers actually a few great advantages of the composite design because it minimises wheel weight by negating normal coil springs as described on Wikipedia.

[Grippy]

It looks to me like a few design cues have been borrowed, the front lights look similar to those on a Cadillax CTS and the rear lights from recent Camaro's.

[CyberWasp]

The Steering Wheel is on the wrong side :(

[CSV_LS1]

On closer inspection it's actually manual. So auto may not be available after all.

You can see paddle shifters mounted behind the wheel. But the gearstick does look like a manual style one; maybe it's a generic shot of the interior layout?

[Sprint]

Damn, the rich get richer.

[MrXR8]

Good looking car but for the model after this one, where do they go with styling? It looks as though you can't do any more to enhance the shape
