The C7 is finally here. It looks like parts from the new SRT Viper, the Ferrari California, the Nissan GT-R and of course the C6 have been grafted together in an extra-sculpted shell. As far as highlights are concerned, talk about a 7-speed manual transmission (first seen on the new Porsche 911) with active rev matching (as seen on the Nissan 370Z) and a claimed 0 to 100 km/h time of under 4 seconds…
We also think that with this sort of jagged-edge design, making a scene at the sets of the next Transformer movie will be a ‘No Biggie’
