Even though the 1963 CorvetteStingray's distinct split rear window treatment lasted only for a modelyear, for many this unconventional styling trait became synonymous withthe Corvette ever since. And now we may very well see it making itsreturn on a production Corvette almost half a century later. In recentinterview with Inside Line, General Motors' head of global design EdWelburn told the news site that like the 2010 Camaro, the nextgeneration Corvette's design will incorporate hints of retro styling,including the split back window.
GeneralMotors gave us a taste of how this styling feature may be incorporatedon the C7 Corvette, which will retain the front-engine/rear-drivelayout of its predecessors, with the Stingray Concept that appeared in the second Transformers movie that was released this past summer.
"Thatcar is not the next Corvette, but the split-window is something that Iexpect for the next Corvette," Welburn said in the interview. "With theback-up cameras and blind-spot detection systems that we have thesedays, the visibility issue is much less of a problem."
Sowhat do you think about the idea of the return of the split-windowtreatment on the new C7; will General Motors manage to find a way toincorporate this feature without causing any rearward visibilityissues? Also, what's your take on a possible retro-modern theme for thenew Corvette? |
