The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette C7 - Review an Pricing

2012 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Concept Car Preview – 2012 Chevrolet Corvette C7 is a concept car that offers a

luxurious exterior features and fuel-efficient cars. Speculation about 2012 Chevrolet Corvette C7 running rampant right now GM has given the green light for the design of classic American cars, but little seems known about exactly what GM engineers have in mind. A few clues and bits of

teaser information was released, however, paint a picture of a car that appears for 2012 that will be both evolutionary and revolutionary.

Carbon fiber. Most of the high-end sports car manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, Lexus and immediately with their LFA maturing in 2012, making them the vehicle body using a lightweight carbon fiber, but solid. This will be a new change and evolution for the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette C7, but a welcome. The only question is whether this change will do serious damage to the vehicle price.

The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette is a uniquely American invention. For the first time

in history, GM wants to take Corvette-one of the few American GM brands that doesn't play in the discount department of the mass market-global, accompanying Cadillac in showrooms in Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Chevrolet Corvette has too much history to let it just expire as a model. The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette rides a fine line between price and demand. Some even think that a mid-engine Corvette is being considered by engineers at GM. As for a Corvette with a hybrid power train, that remains a possibility.

One thing we know with certainty is that the mid-engine Corvette--the one that pops up as a production possibility every decade or so--remains just a wistful idea. "The mid-engine Corvette is simply too expensive," says auto analyst Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics. "It would need costly new tooling and offers little weight savings because it requires an extra, metal-intensive firewall."

The Corvette rides a fine line between price and demand. The median Corvette price hovers in the low-$50,000 range, and the Chevy folks say that a fair number of buyers str

etch, financially, to own one. Chevy currently moves about 30,000 Vettes every year, which--combined with a few thousand Cadillac XLRs (it uses the Corvette platform)--keeps the Bowling Green, Ky., factory humming along efficiently at the plant's designed output. The current production levels earn GM a tidy profit, too. Raise the price and demand will fall, resulting in costly plant downtime that could very well erode one of GM's moneymakers.

So the mid-engine design is out, and that means the next Corvette will retain the f

ront-engine, rear-transmission layout of the current car. That architecture dictates that the d

imensions--wheelbase, length and width--won't change dramatically, although the size will probably shrink slightly. But part of the Corv

ette's appeal is its roominess and generous cargo space, and those attributes are likely to remain.
