Similar in appearance to "Ugur Sahin Design" earlier Ferrari Dino Concept, the new Corvette Z03 is based on the much cheaper Chevrolet Corvette Z06 although with that car's proven motorsports record, it shouldn't prove to be too much of a step down.
Undeniably still a Corvette, the Ugur Sahin Z03 manages to successfully update design elements from classic Chevrolet Corvettes of the past including the twin rear lights and the razor-edged panels of the Sting Ray.
Some Ferrari-like design elements have understandably also crept in such as the twin air scoops in the nose and the side vents behind the front wheel arches.
As well as the exterior, further changes have been made to the interior and, more importantly, the Corvette's V8 powerplant. There will be three engine choices in total, ranging from a hardly inconsiderable 500bhp to a mind-blowing 750bhp, which easily trumps the range-topping Corvette ZR1's 628bhp.
The Z03 will also come in at up to 50kg lighter than the standard Corvette and thanks to involvement from former Chevy Corvette chief engineer Dave McLellan should be good for go as well as show. Further details will be released in March with an ambitious target of delivery to customers by the end of the year.
