It will be a screamer and a looker, though there's much trepidation about how well the Corvette genes will be maintained in a mid engine configuration. Since it will share the showroom floor as a flagship model next to the current C7 for at least a couple of years, I predict a strong family resemblance and not too radical a shape - something like this:
