the engineer i talked to said a mid engine vette was in the works. he also said there is talk of mid engine with a smaller engine but also cutting the weight down alot. he said they have performance numbers to meet (i.e 1/4 mile, lateral g, top speed ect.)

Somebody's lying. Cuz GM recently was very adamant that no such thing was in the works. Maybe, something is in the works but not going to be a corvette? How bout the Corvair? ;) (Yes, technically it was rear engined. :rolleyes:)

lol Good point.

 

However, (I forgot to post this when I posted above) this is believed to be a camouflaged Fisker.

 

Update:

The manufacturer plates match Fisker, thus making it a Fisker (likely a Fisker Karma) prototype. Clever bodywork. Also, calling it the "Karvette" is a good sign.

since when have manufacturers told the truth about anything? its been happening since the 60s when they intentionally underrated their engines from the factory.

 

I will add they are notorious about new products more so than anything.
