Grudes Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 It would be better with a Cadillac badge, maybe a CTS-V Wagon. Not that I would own either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Corvette wagons as concept cars go all the way back to 1954 with the nomad show car. Corvette wagons as vehicles sold to the public go back to the 1960's with many companies offering conversion kits: http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.com/Other%20customs/Sportwagons/wagonMillerleftrear.jpg If there is one consistent complaint about corvettes (at least old ones anyway) it is that they didnt have enough storage as compared with other sports cars in the same price range. I think there has been a wagon conversion concept made for every generation of corvette. I don't know who the people are that buy them, but there must be a market. The C3 was the most popular and well known so as we get into people who are nostalgic for those cars it's not a surprise that stuff like this comes back.

Geeto67 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 so considering callaway's history of aerodynamics, is there an actual aerodynamic principle that would give this design any kind of advantage? or is it literally just to be different and so the drummer of <insert 80's hair metal band here> can get his drums to practice.

Dafunk13 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Something tells me I wouldn't notice any aerodynamics lacking in the factory Vette. You just have to like this look, or be blind. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Cool story. And informative! Im sure there is ....I mean they did this for similar reasons I though http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/superformancecoupefdlead17.jpg Yep, for aerodynamic reasons. I love Kamm tails, too. Kammback. Whatever you wanna call it. I wonder if they did or will actually wind tunnel test the shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I wonder if they did or will actually wind tunnel test the shape? all the articles say they predict a slight decrease in drag coefficient so probably no actual testing yet. I am sure they will probably test it at some point and then either publish the results or keep it secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
