A few months ago Jalopnik claimed they had accurate drawings of the Corvette C7 set to be released as a 2014 model in fall of 2013.  Claiming that you have accurate renditions of an American Icon a year before we will even see it in auto shows is a bold claim and one any Corvette fan wanted to confirm.  Recently a test mule of the C7 Vette was spotted at the GM proving grounds doing some cold weather testing.  In comparing the photos of the test mule and the renditions provided by jalopnik you have to come to the conclusion that the renditions are extremely similar to what the car will actually look like. 

While GM denied that the renditions of the car were accurate it is suspected that this was something GM had to do after its flagship vehicle was leaked almost a year in advance.  That said we can with almost 100% certainty say that the Corvette will NOT be going back in time with a split rear window and that the Corvette will NOT have a mid engine layout with the engine behind the driver seat. 

Tell us your thoughts on the similarities of the test mule and the rendition.
