This will be the hottest Corvette ever and will be pitted against such super-sports cars as the Porsche Carrera GT and Ferraris. Blue Devil appears to be living up to the earlier hype. Eyewitnesses said the car sounds supercharged, confirming reports the engine is likely a blown version of the Z06’s 7.0-litre V8, producing upward of 600 bhp. Look for lightweight carbon fibre body parts to reduce weight. We hear 2005 Le Mans class winner Jan Magnussen is turning faster-than-Z06 laps in the Blue Devil at Nürburgring.

Pricing will likely start somewhere around 100,000 US-Dollars when the car makes production in 2008. There won’t be any official exports of the car to Europe.
