The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette is set to make its debut at the Detroit motor show in January 2013. To mark the official announcement, Chevrolet reveled a new ‘Crossed Flags’ logo which will decorate the new Corvette.

“The new Crossed Flags style shows the character of the next Corvette. The flags are much a lot more modern, a lot more technical, as well as a lot more in-depth than before – underscoring the detailed redesign of the entire car.”
Talking about the all-new car, Corvette chief Engineer, Tadge Juechter, said, “With the new Corvette, we set out to develop a world-challenging sports vehicle with design, refinement, effectiveness as well as motorist interaction that is second to none.
“The result is a genuinely all-new Corvette. There are only two carryover parts from the C6 utilized in the C7 – the cabin air filter as well as the rear latch for the removable roofing panel.”
The next Corvette is expected to function a variety of new engines, in addition to an improved version of the flagship 6.2-litre V8. A 5.5-litre V8 will be available, while a new, all-alloy twin-turbo V6 will be added to the variety at a later date. The new Corvette C7 will show up in the UK in mid-2013 .
The Crossed Flags logo has been a hallmark of the Corvette considering that it was very first introduced as a idea vehicle on 17 January, 1953 at the GM Motorama in new York City.
Chevrolet declares that a lot more than 100 variations of the new Crossed Flag emblem were thought about before the final style was selected.
