The much anticipated reveal of the seventh-generation Corvette is still months away, but that didn?t stop Chevrolet from letting the public get a first taste from behind the wheel? in a video game. Released yesterday, a digital version of the C7 prototype is now available for download as a free add-on car for the PS3 racing-sim Gran Turismo 5.
Chevy says that GT5 developer Polyphony Digital went to great lengths to replicate the prototype?s real-world driving character as it exists now. So, ostensibly, drivers will get a somewhat accurate idea of the power behind Chevy?s newest small block V-8, the LT1, and the handling characteristics of the C7?at least as much as GT5 driving physics will allow.
Still, Chevy isn't going to reveal the much-anticipated looks of the new 'Vette; that will wait for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. So the C7 players can download for the game is cloaked in the camouflage carmakers use when testing a prototype?the kind you see in spy shots that's supposed to hide the car's sheetmetal.
Silliness aside, the simulation camo admittedly only increases the mystique behind the C7, and reminds us just how drawn-out Chevy's tease campaign for the newest Corvette really is. So until the big day comes on January 13, driving enthusiasts will be restricted to digital tarmacs.
