Growing up the Vette was my dream car (along with the Camaro&Mustang) and hoped they would make it a mid engine to compete with the European sports cars.

Now I'm a little bit disappointed... looks like any of a dozen other mid engine sports cars.

At least the Italians still build a front engine sports car...

Growing up I always thought one of the Aerovette's should have been build in mass, as I got older realized the vette was a front engine car to stay - and now this?

In my opinion GM should have made the mid-engine Caddy to go upscale and left the Vette front engine but apparently such inbred competition is not allowed even in a reorganized and salvaged GM.

About the current design, I like what I see and what I can imagine it to be. However I'm puzzled as to why they didn't just warm over the 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype race car - it had the aerodynamics down, and less polarizing than the newest Ford GT.

Maybe it was too kit car looking and been there, done that?

The Caddy has aged well on the other hand. I've seen it at a car show under a tent, it looked good at any angle, very well thought out.

Ford GT Imagined As A Hardcore DTM Race Car

It was designed by rendering artists RC Workchop and posted on Facebook. The image shows the Ford GT with a widened bumper, a more open grille, and new downforce-improving features up front, as well as as bigger tires, and a massive wing in the rear. It looks ready for DTM racing, even if it doesn’t fit the manufacturer qualifications.
