After all the rumors and more leaks than a New Orleans levy, the wait is over for General Motors’ latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept that will play the role of ‘Sideswipe’ in the incoming Transformers movie dubbed “Revenge of the Fallen” due for release on June 26, 2009. Stylistically inspired by the example Corvette Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, theAutobot concept also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generation models to create a shape that we wouldn’t mind seeing influencing the incoming Vette. “SIDESWIPE represents an exercise in exploration for the Corvette,” said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. “By giving my creative team the freedom to design no-holds-barred vision concepts, it helps them push boundaries and countenance at projects from different perspectives.”
