The Mid-engine Corvette is a long awaited replacement for the long-departed General Lee engine. Designed by auto designer Ralph Fasano, the new model will have an automatic transmission with fingertip buttons. Although no definitive details have so far been released by General Motors, we can expect it to have similar features as the classic model, such as full-motion roll cages, standard tire pressure and adjustable air suspension. However, the major announcement is that this new model will be able to replace the current ZR-2 (the only production car with an internal combustion engine) engine.
The new engine will have a unique, high-flow design that has been patented under the name of the Fuso Engineering Company. The engineers at GM are said to be focusing on two factors while designing this new vehicle: maximum fuel economy and reliability. The resulting product is said to offer a 50% fuel efficiency rate when compared to the existing ZR-2.
This new model is also expected to incorporate a magnesium reinforced cooling and lubrication system, front and rear mounted adjustable strut bars, front and rear seat mounted air intake kits, front and rear strut braces, and a fully adjustable rear diffuser. However, no firm word has been released regarding whether or not the new mid engine coupe model will be available with the standard 4-wheeler drive. We will just have to wait and see. However, one thing is clear: The new model is definitely in development and we should expect at least one prototype in the near future.
The new mid-engine Corvette would offer the same great things as its predecessors: easy maintenance, great fuel efficiency, and high reliability. This vehicle would replace the aging Chevrolet Corvette and allow General Motors to successfully keep their slim-line, niche vehicle concept alive. It is believed that this new model will feature a completely new engine, transmission, cooling system, and body styles. It is also expected to offer better handling and more powerful engines, which could result in greater handling and performance than any vehicle currently on the market.
If the rumors are true, then this new model will make General Motors a supercar company, and it is also expected to be very popular. However, there are a number of factors why this new vehicle may not become a hit. First, many people do not know what to expect from a performance car. Second, this new "design center" of GM might not be a huge success because of its over-ambitious plan. Lastly, the new Corvette would also need to carry the reputation of a quality vehicle.
The new Corvette is also expected to offer unprecedented safety features for its class. It is believed that the new style of Mid engine corvette will feature front and rear bumper protection, side impact protection, and front and rear curtain airbags. It is also expected to include structural and side damage indicators in its interior and exterior design. Furthermore, the new Corvette will also offer better control over the vehicle's transmission. It is expected that it would have more control than any vehicle currently on the market.
