Meanwhile, CorvetteBlogger.com has posted a cover photo and details of the much-anticipated ‘Vette from what it says is a leaked copy of the December issue of Car and Driver magazine. The purported cover image and story describe a 750-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-liter brute putting out 680 pounds-feet of torque and capable of zero-to-60 mph in less than 3 seconds, with a 210-mph top speed. Cars.com could not verify its authenticity.
