Mio Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Chevrolet and Polyphony Digital formally announced their special collaboration on the next-generation C7 model corvette today at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. First spotted in Gran Turismo 5 by GTPlanet community members earlier this month, the heavily camouflaged prototype will be drivable in the game “today” by downloading the car as free DLC from the PlayStation Store. According to the press release, Polyphony Digital paid careful attention to every detail in the creases and wrinkles in the soft camouflage, used to disguise the prototype while its driving characteristics are currently being tuned and refined ahead of the vehicle’s official debut in January. “Until now, only the most skilled drivers on the Corvette team have been authorized to push the test prototypes to the limits on some of the most challenging track surfaces in the world,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet Global Marketing. “Through this unique collaboration with Gran Turismo, Chevrolet is able, for the first time, to give performance car enthusiasts access to such an exclusive driving experience.” “Gran Turismo has had many firsts and we’re excited to partner with Chevrolet for yet another – bringing the first-ever Chevrolet prototype vehicle into a racing game,” said Kazunori Yamauchi. “As car enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to give fans this extraordinary level of access to the seventh generation Corvette that otherwise would not be possible.” Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. Sauce personally I think it has a pattern under the covers that look like this lamborghini: anyone else think so too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 You can't beat free, but it will still look pretty goofy driving that thing around with the cover on it. And judging b the video, it looks to have a pattern like the Lamborghini in that picture which is used so you can't really see the lines of the car.

RHGSniperFox Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That's exactly the kind of pattern it has under the vinyl. You can see it a little better in the first-person view. Breaks up the silhouette when viewing it on the test courses, since that's the company's copyright and all. I like the car so far. It likes to slide, but it's a fun ride.

AndroidFox Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I expect once the car is unveiled in real life Polyphony will remove the cover, just like the GT-R in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. That's why there is a masked version of the GT-R in Gran Turismo 5 if any of you are wondering. Oh, and I'll post my thoughts on the car once I get chance to drive it.
