There have been a Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black one spotted in the wild. Plus the Red show circuit car, the grey show circuit car, possibly another red show circuit car that they've been using at media appearances (Barrett Jackson and the Superbowl)

UPDATE: According to Chevy spokesman Monte Doran, this was a GM test drive gone wrong: "During evaluation, the driver caught the inside tire caught the edge of the pavement during a tight corner, leading to the accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, the car received only minor damage, and no citations were issued."

Corvette-Based AeroWagon Concept



A Callaway representative told us that the AeroWagon would have an opening rear hatch and more cargo room than a standard 2014 Corvette. All the additional bodywork is made from carbon-fiber and would be constructed at Callaway’s carbon-fiber facility in Santa Ana, California. The body was penned by company designer Paul Deutschman. - Motor Trend

Me - yeah... I kind of dig it.

Off topic, but if I had to do a swap with the FR-S motor, it would definitely be with an LSX. Probably get an aluminum block at some point or another.

2014 Corvette Stingray

So I went to the gym today at my college. Its not that big of a college or anything and that's what really surprised me about these cars being there. I still have no clue why they were because I'm pretty sure they aren't even out yet and the fact that it says manufacturer on the tag and also a lot of the stickers and stuff were on it like in the interior and one on the gas cover that said premium only made it cooler.
