2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray ZR1 Rendering Released

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 has just made its world debut in Detroit and the vehicle is now keeping those who handle virtual tuning busy. Yesterday we showed you a rendering of the car wearing COR wheels and now it’s time to go even further.

The adjacent image shows the new Stingray as a ZR1, with the car receiving new front end details. The front fascia is significantly more aggressive than before, as if it would indicate the presence of the ZR1's supercharged engine under the bonnet. It also uses massive LED daytime running lights, as well as a generously-sized front splitter that draws quite a lot of attention to the vehicle.

The ‘Vette is also shown wearing a set of custom rims from Advance One Wheels. These come with a multi-spoke, deep concave design. The simple styling cues of the wheels allow us to focus on the design of the car and simply make it stand out a bit more.
