Chevrolet and Polyphony Digital formally announced their special collaboration on the next-generation C7 model corvette today at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.
First spotted in Gran Turismo 5 by GTPlanet community members earlier this month, the heavily camouflaged prototype will be drivable in the game “today” by downloading the car as free DLC from the PlayStation Store.
According to the press release, Polyphony Digital paid careful attention to every detail in the creases and wrinkles in the soft camouflage, used to disguise the prototype while its driving characteristics are currently being tuned and refined ahead of the vehicle’s official debut in January.
“Until now, only the most skilled drivers on the Corvette team have been authorized to push the test prototypes to the limits on some of the most challenging track surfaces in the world,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet Global Marketing. “Through this unique collaboration with Gran Turismo, Chevrolet is able, for the first time, to give performance car enthusiasts access to such an exclusive driving experience.”
“Gran Turismo has had many firsts and we’re excited to partner with Chevrolet for yet another – bringing the first-ever Chevrolet prototype vehicle into a racing game,” said Kazunori Yamauchi. “As car enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to give fans this extraordinary level of access to the seventh generation Corvette that otherwise would not be possible.”
Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. More information on the announcement will be available at One13Thirteen.com.

Images of the C7 have just been released.
The fun part is guys when the car is released in dealerships PD will make us pay for it with a bunch of other cars (more skylines in general probably as in all previous dlcs). They say you can predict the future by looking at the past, and from that I predict that it’ll be a pay to download car pack.
ok first of all some ppl need to look up some stuff b4 they start posting…the original lt1 was used in 80s &some 90s camaros and vettes it was a 5.7L the new lt1 going in this corvette is a 6.2L with direct injection and said to have about 450hp stoc they have also upgraded it from being cast iron to all aluminum…in my opinion the best vettes so far not including this one is the c2,early c3s,c5,and c6 i absoulutely hate c4s they look stupid and have no power like the later c3 models
It’s nice that GT-5 has a covered up C7 for us to try and droll over. If you can’t wait for the official unveiling just go here.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-general-discussion/3173546-january-car-and-driver-c7-on-cover-24.html
People who have a subscription to Car And Driver already have a full view of the finished car. I’m guessing the issue was released a tad early as 1/13/13 is still a month away. Doh!
Like all GT5 players I think all free downloads are welcome..But why give us cars that we cant buy tuneups for or cant tune in any way at all. I tried the C7 on B spec mode and it wont even win a race in Expert races let alone above that .Oh yes I did use a level 40 driver before you ask.
Let’s think about this:
1.) It’s a car yet to be unveiled and still in its prototype state
2.) They can change up anything on the car
3.) The stats in the game my be theoretical
4.) You cannot expect performance parts for a car that Kaz doesn’t know too much about yet along know the real power about the car
5.) The power of the car and the torque curve of the car is theoretical and may change over time
So for now just wait for the actual car to come out, the maybe we’ll see some parts for it
Is anyone else in the uk having trouble downloading it? When I try, it keeps saying this content is not available
I took this towel-shod beast for a rag around the Ring at the weekend and I think it’s brilliant fun to drive – on a set of Sport Hard tyres it’s brilliant to chuck through the corners!
Not as fast out the other side as an R8 or a Gallardo but there’s the difference in 4wd supercars versus rwd bruisers.
This car reminds me of a beefed up version of my much loved Lotus Esprit V8 SE – a riot to race with in a well-matched field.
And the sound it makes is glorious!
Great job all round for bringing a prototype to GT5 – very exciting!!
Nice! Not only are us tax payers (sorry kids to young to have a real job, foreigners and other 47% ers) forced to bail out that bloated company Government Motors with no return on our investment, but we are getting used as unpaid Beta testers too!
So this new fiberglass midlife crisis on wheels still have the rear suspension of an ox cart or has Gov. Motors finally figured out that’s not the rear suspension of a proper sports car?
OK JUST KIDDING! Having some fun that’s all.
The C7 is amazing and AWSOME so far. I can throw it around all sorts of corners and it hasn’t tried to kill me yet – even when it probably should have. I hope the real car is just as impressive. If so, Ferrari, Aston and the rest of the Euro snobs are in for some bitter news.
The ZR1 Delivered that bitter news on its release date.
HAHA…not, on your opening OP humor. You could have saved that as it was pretty weak attempt at comedy.
Its General Motors. Always has been, always will be.
Who does Ferrari have to thank for their newly implemented Magnetic Ride Control suspension (Italia) ? General Motors/Cadillac which was a company product way before U.S government bailout.
Dude stick to your day job, this is the worst attempt at comedy i’ve ever read. If my ten year old son came out with material as flimsy as this over the dinner table i’d send him to bed.
I’ll have you know that us Australian’s also pay GM through our car company GMH (General Motors Holden). For some reason, this does not bother me. That’s probably because WE supplied Pontiac with the recent GTO and the G8(?) and are now supplying Chev with the police cruisers in L.A.
Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of the Corvette C4, C5 and the C6 models. Possibly because they don’t handle as well as Australian cars! But this C7 looks the goods!
Oh, by the way, do NOT take up comedy as a profession OR a hobby – someone is bound to beat the living suitcase out of you if you do!!!
I’ve noticed, for some reason, that gamers tend to be disproportionately left-leaning statists in their political opinions (when they have any). Every time I see someone post some libertarian-minded comment on a gamer thread, even jokingly as in this case, it’s thoroughly attacked.
I thought your jabs at GM were actually pretty funny myself. Maybe you’re not going to land a job as a writer for Saturday Nitgh Live anytome soon, but neither is anyone else on these threads. Your comment was criticized because of its libertarian angle, not its level of humor. Lets just be honest.
That was a pathetic attempt at humor. Frankly I’m disgusted whether you were joking or not, and I don’t even like corvettes
@bachy
i’m english, and it was criticized for it’s level of humour if i’m honest
I got my one too:) I have to say it’s a pretty good car!!
Lol if not for that bailout we wouldnt have seen the zr1 rape the ferrari 599 in a drag race nor would we have seen the return of the real boss 302 mustang or the intro of the 662hp 200mph shelby
What do I see in this new Z07 Corvette: It’s heavier than the Z06 Corvette with 40kg’s and it’s less powerful than the Z06 Corvette with 65 horsepower less compared to 505 horsepower, the top speed has been lowered from 198mph to 190mph and finally the engine in the Z07 Corvette has been made smaller thus having a 5.5L Gen V V8 and the Z06 having a 7.2L LS6 V8. So what do I have to say about this? Has Chevrolet messed up a really good legend or what?
The real car isn’t even out yet…
What you didnt see is its a C7 Prototype, not a ZO7…Urrrp.
You don’t compare a base model C7 to a hyped up version of the C6, genius! C7 base vs C6 base isn’t even compitition for the new C7. So just imagine a C7 Z06/Z07 model with DI and variable valve timing, I’m thinking 540hp out of the new LT1 in a Z06 configuration.
… how long have you played gran turimso?
change your oil.
break it in.
200mph stock.
you’re welcome.
Clearly you dont know what you are talking about there is no LS engine from GM that is a 7.2, much less the LS6 which is a 5.6. The C6 z06 has a 7.0 LS7 engine, to compare that to a 5.5L engine that at most has seen ALMS use is quite wrong as others have said. GM fans easily know this…so I am curious where you pulled these numbers from.
I typo’d but that should be a 5.7L instead of 5.6.
If this thing updates along with the Prototypes official release in January it could very well be the best free DLC gift PD has given out.
+100
Unfortunately, the free DLC of this C7 Test Prototype will not be updateable. It is a seperate car…
What will most likely happen is that the full C7 will be made available to us through the PlayStation Store at a rather inflated cost so that money can be split with GM for the privelage of offering up the C7 so early in its life!
Note: all of the above is pure speculation…
However, this will not put me off buying the DLC. If I passed up ANY of the DLC’s, I would NOT have the full GT5 game! It would be pointless even owning it!!!
This is a very nice gift, thnx PD
I raced with this on SSRX against some Professional AI. A Corvette Z06 started in 15th and outran me very easily. This car hits its rev limit at 213 mph.
It has a 6th gear I got it up to 276 mph so far behind a X1, 11.599 in the 1/4
It makes sense when the new vette is revealed that the covers come off the GT5 version or we get both : )
We will have to pay for the full C7 when it comes out!
Managed to find a hour or two to play around in the C7-Proto last night, spent most of it at Laguna Seca hot-lapping, turn-in is superb, feels light and nimble, its got good power all throughout the rev range, interesting too with it having a lower redline than the C6, wonder if this engine is Direct-Injection…
But anyways, I think its cool to be able to test-drive DLC cars and prototypes before they come out, I’d like to see it more often with other cars, the SRT Viper, Mustang RTR, that V8 Ruf RGT-8, just to name a few.
Keeping in mind that this test car employs some type of restrictor plate, it’s possible the rev-limiter will be reset. There’s still some 200+ HP missing from the final product.
V8 RuF !!!!
As usual, another forum about GT5 DLC that is filled with FM4 comparisons….and the usual defenders of both games. Wasn’t this forum about the C7 test prototype provided free in GT5 lol?
I took the C7 for a spin and it is great, good handling and power. It is also cool that the car is not tuneable as it is in a testing state still.
Why bring it up again then?
As long as the two games exist, there will always be comparisons. You can either ignore it, or embrace it, but your words are not going to stop people from comparing them.
My post wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously. I know there will always be comparisons between the two games, just trying to loosen things up some, seeing by the posting that some of us are in full fight mode.
I hope this doesn’t mean the SRT Viper will never be in GT5.
Hmmm, I prefer the Corvette, but I doubt it means we won’t be get the Viper. It’s not as if this is Porsche or anything we’re talking about here.
Absolutely loving this car. Arcade single race on expert. Slap some comfort sorts on it and it makes for an excellent cruise with the ai. Can’t wait to see this unveil.
Just two more days til I get to try it! AHHHH!
I like having a sneak peek at new cars coming out in the future. Of course it may have these skirts on the body to cover up the complete body look, but hey it’s just nice to have new cars to test before they actually come out with the real one.
Nice! Happy it’s free, cool DLC. Personally I would have preferred the F12 Berlinetta (Like Forza Horizon just got) but this is still cool. Happy to try it soon!
Tried to paint it &…
You could still wash it lol
I cannot download it from store..im from Czech Republic and it says that I cannout purchase it at this moment..weird
It says the same for me but I’m in New Zealand. I hate it how everything is ALWAYS delayed, or not up to standard here. NZ is behind the rest of the world, thats for sure.
I had the same problem. Go to View Downloads on PS Store menu and you’ll see C7 there. Click on it and it will install.
account management -> transaction management -> download list :)
Hey at least you guys actually have a PSN Store to purchase DLC from. Here in the Philippines, we don’t exist as far as Sony is concerned.
I still managed to get the DLC though. There are ways. If a little 3rd world guy like me can figure it out I’m sure you can, too! It’s all legal, too.
@legobrainboy
You mean like making a US, European or Japanese account and then buying PSN cards for those counties online? Every single person with a PS3 that doesn’t have a PSN store available for their country does that; it’s no secret. How else could we buy DLC and stuff? I used to have two different PSN accounts from two different countries in my old PS3 and spent my hard earned cash on PSN games and DLC.
Some elitist idiots will tell you that we cannot do that, but honestly we are giving Sony our hard earned and legitimate money so I don’t think they mind.
Im just annoyed that we get the C7 and Forza gets the New SRT Viper. I hope we atleast get a Privateer team for the GTS-R come 2013 ALMS season.
Would you stop complaining? Oh, it’d be cool to get this or that… Have you heard of anything called licences? That’s a big pain in the ass that big companies throw around to make sure they get lots of money when something they own is used or represented in something like a game for example. So don’t hope to have any time a Porsche or the official F1 licenses. And even so, may I remind you that GT is a Real DRIVING Simulator, and not racing. And if you’re really pissed off, by an XBox and Forza. For my part I won’t, I don’t like arcade games that pretend to be a sim. I’ve been playing GT since the first one, and I’ve put countless hours of driving around and though it has its flaws (and big ones, the AI for instance), I still put lots of hours so somewhere it must be really good (my patience with games is very short, I don’t like I dump in a few hours, eg Assassin’s Creed 3 or Shift 2).
1000000000000000000000000000+ likes too what Sam said
Going to be blunt. You really do not have a clue if you think Forza is arcade.
Muo: 10/10 bro!
Forza’s the most arcadey looking racing game out there.
It’s annoying, isn’t it?
I think Need for Speed is the most arcade-style racer out there. GT and Forza are the two best racing games out now…NFS doesn’t even compare to them regarding gameplay. My 2¢.
Seriously guys? Don’t tell me that Forza is a perfect sim. Ok, I’ll take that back when I’ll see a Forza Academy… And by the way, a half-finished Corvette, no custom, come pn PD, we’re not so desperate, we can wait january to get the real one…
Not saying Forza is the perfect sim. And it’s okay if you think GT is more realistic. But to say Forza is arcade is ridiculous.
And GT Academy is just a marketing technique used by Nissan to pick their race car drivers.
Anyway… Motorsport is all about marketing isn’t it? Or if not we shouldn’t have a good third of the F1 every season that pays to drive (like monkeys). Maybe a F1 academy with whoever is fastest in game would get a drive. Couldn’t be worse probably. Think I’ll call Bernie and Codemasters to talk them into it… :)) and I don’t give a s… about which game is better, I don’t own Forza as I don’t have an Xbox and don’t see a reason buying one. I chose Ps3 because of Gt5 (and Metal Gear). It’s only a game and whatever pleases you it’s cool. Even if it’s an arcade game … :)))))))
I wonder if it gets soggy when you wash it in GT Auto! ;)
+1
nice suprise
SICK! THANKS PD!
Used an alternate account to get the C7. Just raced 5 laps @560pp on RS tyres. Puts the power down lovely and brakes hard! Turned in and accelerated good kept up with the modified cars but was killed on the straight Cape Ring South. Yeah, looking forward to the production ordeal.
*model. Damn spellcheck
Might have died on the straight due to them modelling the aero drag effect from all those blankets. If we get the production version in GT5, it would be interesting to test the top speed of both.
That’s logically thinking outside the box!
Free update…… Brilliant. Not an American fan but seems great fun, lets see what the real car looks like in January in a virtual reveal.
Well timed a few laps on the ‘ring, not to bad so far 7.40s but brakes aint best – bit sluggish under hard breaking, understeers a bit – light front end and noise isnt what i expected – expected a bark but any update could tweak anything on the car.
well this kind of stuff for GT is always welcome! Will download it anytime soon..
Hi everyone,for anybody(in the EU at least)who haven’t got the ‘vette yet,just go to account management and select transaction management and go to services list and the car should be there to download,then fire up GT and go to to the downloadable content arrow and install.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. I tried to to exactly like that this morning after my first download failed, but it wasn’t in the download list then. Now it was, and I was able to download it.
It’s at the download list not at service list , i finally found it !Thanks for the tip stiggygonzalez! !
yea, its under download list. thanks for that mate! :)
thanks so much m8 :)
It’s a really nice car to drive. Fantastic on turn-in. Though sounds exactly like the ZR1 in-game. Still, looking forward to seeing an unmasked version that we can modify.
Overall it’s a pretty good car, I’m impressed at how it controls its weight. Thanks GM, can’t wait to see what it really looks like
Wish I could enjoy testing this new Corvette, but still Polyphony Digital hasn’t really fixed the clutch model in GT5–at least for my Fanatec setup. “mis-shifting” and going into neutral at least 10 times per lap gets old fast. Once I’m reminded again why I don’t enjoy GT5 like I should, I turn off the PS3, turn the Xbox 360 back on, load Forza 4 or Horizon, and I’m back to enjoying an immersive experience with a “realistic” clutch. Tired of PD’s excuses. I should be enjoying GT5 with full clutch and stick.
I guess the last fix is ONLY for the Logitech G27? Haven’t heard if it’s actually better for that wheel.
Let’s see, I’m driving in GT5, and it’s time to shift gears… Okay, wait. Let the throttle pedal all the way out, or at least to 90% (as I’ve read you have to do), then push in the clutch pedal… DON’T TOUCH THE THROTTLE! …then move the shift stick to the next gear, AND DON’T TOUCH THE THROTTLE, …okay, does the on-screen display show a number or “N,” …okay, it’s a number. …alright let out the clutch… Yay, we’re in gear! …and I’ve missed my turn-in line and the apex.
Forza 4 and Horizon… work the throttle, clutch, and shift stick like I do my real car. Hit my turn-in, apex, and exit perfectly every time.
You poor thing. *plays violin*
These days, a “realistic driving simulator” must include a good clutch model. In a “simulator,” if I’m driving a car with a manual gearbox, then I expect to use the clutch and stick. If the user input doesn’t work realistically, then who cares about how great the cars look, the variety of tracks, or how well the physics engine simulates real driving. It hinders the “realism” for an experienced driver that knows how to use a manual gearbox in racing conditions.
I have always loved the Gran Turismo titles, and if they’d just “fix” this issue, I could continue to enjoy everything it has to offer, and not throw up my hands in frustration and quit this “game.”
I’d have to agree with apex here. the clutching is pretty poor in GT5, but I really can’t support forza. I played it and while it does many things GT5 aught to do. when it comes to actually driving GT5 has no equal. most noticeably is the track detail… not the superficial tree or spectator graphics, I’m talking about elevation changes and turn radius’s. Play nurbergring on Forza and tell me it is even remotely close. (had the honor of hitting the real thing in sept!!) Forza isn’t even close compared to GT5. I polish on the interface for forza is better In my opinion, and although their models are not as good it becomes a moot point when GT5 lets you do so little with them. can’t open doors, engine bays etc. Forza really did good work here. Good competition always does good things to things like this so I hope that GT5 realizes the (easily done) car eye candy that can be implemented in the next installment. As rightfully pointed out by Apex here, graphics of cars are of little consequence when you are actually driving. GT5 has better driving, with the exception of the terrible clutch model. It is what it is, and is unfortunate with GT5. However, in the same breath for the super cars to do stick and clutch is very inefficient compared to paddles for good lap times. (that’s just an excuse I just realized so I withdraw that last part :-)
I definitely love driving a car equipped with the latest sequential gearbox technology and “flappy paddles.” I also spend a lot of time in F1 2012, and other than a hand-clutch for starting from a stop (in the real world, not F1 2012), they are a hydro-electric clutch. Many cars featuring paddle shifting were inspired by F1.
However, if I’m driving in a “simulator” with a Caterham, an old Austin Healey, a Lotus, or I want to try to “manage” a heavy American Muscle Car around the track, it’s just not right to use the paddles, and no clutch pedal. Especially if the simulator “supports” it.
Forza Horizon, “Realistic?”
Horizon… Pff. I got bored of with that game so FAST it wasn’t a joke. I shouldn’t have bought it, cuz I knew DLC will be the ONLY attention it gets. Well Look at that, I was right… Did you see their latest DLC? Seriously.. Is that the only thing that can keep Forza alive? I’m just tired of it. >_>
As a PS3 owner who doesn’t have an Xbox and thus plays GT and not Forza, I was rather happy to hear of Forza Horizon, because Forza starting to toy with arcade games only looks good for the GT series.
I deffinently agree with what ApexVGear said about stick shifts. I especially find it a joke to use paddle shifts on a muscle car. Lol, muscle cars are so much about force and raw power and in no way precision handling. Using paddle shifts justs seems comical.
No it’s not because I don’t have Forza. I have FM4 as well, and I like it. It’s just Horizon… It’s good that Forza did something new too, but the DLC of course…
Totally agree about the crappy gearbox simulation. I think PD were having trouble programming it in a way to be too advantageous for guys who know how to properly drive manuals… for time-trials and competitions and such…
I agree with the comments about Forza HORIZON. Once you accept the physics are “dumbed down” compared to Forza Motorsport 4, it’s fun for about a week. Drive on every road, find everything, do everything, and the honeymoon’s over. Rivals is okay in Horizon, but so much better in FM4. I know that Horizon is just another way for Turn 10 to keep Microsoft happy and generate some more revenue in the years between releases of FM4.
I just don’t like Turn 10 being “distracted” by the Horizon project, and transferring all the DLC attention away from FM4. Apparently that’s it for car packs, and any chance of other content, such as additional tracks.
I know some of the FM4 tracks aren’t totally accurate, Road America being another one–the elevation changes on turns 13 and 14 aren’t quite right. FM4’s physics are very good, if your wheel’s set up correctly, but sometimes it goes “bonkers.” I know of at least two turns where just grazing the inside rumble strip can flip the car on its’ side.
Now we wait for the next round and new releases. Turn 10 focuses on Forza 5, and hopefully in less than six years, Kazunori will stop playing with his fleet of real sports cars, going to shows, and racing in 24 hour events, and commit all his effort to making GT6 “perfect.”
Couldn’t disagree more with the Horizon comments. I had the game since release and for the month I’ve had it, I haven’t even bothered beating the game and I’m still having a blast with it. It’ll get boring quickly if you only focus on getting to the end. I’m savoring the game and enjoying everything it has to offer, it’s been a great experience so far.
@Amac500: I would agree if Horizon was part of the main series and not a spinoff.
@STUCHS: I agree that FM4’s Nurburging isn’t good, but owning FM4 and GT5, and playing both of them with Fanatec CSR, I actually think FM4 has the driving down better than GT5.
Forza Horizion SUCKS. Get the new Most Wanted, the sounds will give you goosebumps.
Funny, because I’ve been hearing the exact opposite. I do plan on getting MW once the price goes down though.
I do however, love Horizon and would love to play it again, and will never sell it, but if its DLC (which are mostly cars and cars coming from FM4 which makes no sense) is the full attention to keep it going than forget it. I know they’re better than that, but that seriously pissed me off when they did that, and are STILL doing it. Who does that!? I’m not trying to sound like a hater and all but come on. The reason why I stopped playing Horizon is because theres nothing else to do in anymore but free roaming and multiplayer…
I am however, having lots of fun with NFS MW 2012 though, but don’t understand the hate towards it. Not like they release DLC yet, the game seems to be keeping me happy everytime I play it…
Its works weird in GT5 because the cars dont support the clutch period. FM4 does, still, theres no comparison in the physics, so ill take bad clutch.
Sorry, didn’t mean to bash Forza Horizon. It’s a fun title, and the open world is great. I do like to run the final street challenge that circles the map, and I’ll drive around in it for 30 minutes or so each day, then switch over to something more serious. I just wish they’d offer an option to turn on more realistic physics and physical damage. I also wish they’d offer shortcuts to switch cars and make upgrades.
Comparing GT5 and FM4 physics, the wheel you are using and its’ setup is VERY important. If you switch over from GT5 to FM4 without touching the wheel settings, FM4 is going to feel very off. A wheel such as the Fanatec GT2 or CSR models allow you to configure up to five profiles. I have separate profiles for FM4, GT5, Dirt 3, Race Pro, and F1 2012.
A friend with some racing experience in the past, primarily races and drifts in GT5 with Logitech wheels. She had tried Forza with an old Xbox wheel, but didn’t like it, and said it didn’t feel realistic. I’ve owned two Xbox wheels, and if it’s all you have, it’s great, but they don’t even come close to Logitech or Fanatec wheels (and they break too easily). After she sat in my rig for a couple of hours with Forza 4, she agreed the wheel and settings do make a big difference.
F1 2012 is another title where your wheel and its’ settings are important. I’ve read complaints about “wheel input lag” and the physics being “uncontrollable.” 2010 and 2011 did have some input lag problems, but 2012 doesn’t. In addition to the fact that an F1 car must be driven very differently (precise braking and throttle control) and everything is happening so much faster, you must spend at least 2-3 hours tweaking the in-game and on-wheel settings.
I so want to love GT5 as I have the past versions, I have always liked the physics model, and I “completed” every thing in GT5 and own every car–I put up with the clutch problem. After FM4 came out a year later, now it’s so frustrating to switch back over to GT5 and want to enjoy it just as much… only to be pulled out of the experience and immersion when I’m approaching a turn and have to start concentrating on throttling, clutching and shifting, and do it the way the game requires, not in a “realistic” way.
Just downloaded it from UK store, from latest addons. Ill give it a blast later…;-))…
Lol I gussed it was going to be free and I was actually right for once! Yay!
My o my. I just tried to download it and the following message came out: It is not possible to purchase this item at the moment.
Is available in Europe. Download mine a few moments ago, gave it a good thrashing around Trial Mountain on Sports Hards. Fun, accessible, progressive, quick. Just like a Corvette.
Still nothing at Greece …” It is not possible to purchase this item at the moment”
When ????????
Wow. This car actually has a modelled interior! PD obviously had a meeting with Chevrolet to get this done.
Still not available in Europe?
It’s available. Just search for C7 in the PS Store.
I still get the “We’re sorry this product cannot be puchased at this time”
Nice work PD. At 1500kg and 441bhp straight out of the box it cuts a pretty relaxed 7.40ish round the ring’ on it’s standard sports hards with everything off (online) Very predictable and balanced. I like how they locked all the tuning options out for this one well – oil change after two laps instantly bumped mine to 462bhp.
is the sound of this yank tank any good?
Sounds pretty decent Praggia in my view – Six gear for economy only in it’s default ratio state.
Yank tank, shut up you tosser
The camaraderie of some GTP members never ceases to amaze ; )
I don’t think “yank tank” is entirely mocking – American cars were often built on the large/heavy side.
Surely it’s a term of endearment? Like “fatbastard”?
LMAO @ mr_pepps, coffee in my lap!
YankTank lol. Hey hows dem heavy 1600KG Astons you guys got over there. Nah im just kidding. I love Astons. Very Unique. I was never a vette fan (VIPER!!!) so i can only laugh. I dont hate vette, i have respect for them, i just never liked them. Corner and brake litterly like tanks. Except the Z06, (Still brakes)
im not great fan of american cars but this one it´s not bad lol..rides nice and does a good drift too.. thanks pd
You must access play.store with a new psn name, If you have “purchased” the car, but no sucess in downloading.Because if you try to get it a second time, playstore will tell not available. Happend to me yesterday 2 times( didn`t understand how to download the car) On 3rd try on my 3rd psn name I got the corvette.
also works when you download another DLC wich you already have. then download vette c7 again. Worked for me.
I love the Michigan license plate.
Good to be represented isn’t it, Motorcity madmen
Home team! Corvette is America’s stake in international GT racing, and it’s always so much cooler when it’s in your own backyard. Hell I still never get tired of watching old Le Mans footage of the Ford Mark IV’s triumph. They say “out of Dearborn, Michigan” and I go “Hey, that’s just a few miles away!”. Nice to be a car guy in Michigan!
This is really pissing me off, still not downloadable in the EU PS Store. It wasn’t there after the EU blog announced it was, so they put it up but aren’t letting us use it.
I’m afraid to show my retired father this DLC, he may sell his house to go buy and live inside this C7. Not that there is anything technically wrong with that :)
I think it’s well established, but PD, thank you. Thank you for supporting this game for so long, and for giving us things like updates, patches & free DLC. There aren’t many developers out there who do this kind of thing on the timescale you have!
This is what I love about PD! No info and suddenly a new car!
Still cant download it yet. Will try again tonight after work.
I’ve tried two of my PSN accounts and the same thing.
Why are people trying to purchase it when the DLC is FREE???
When the car gets officially revealed does the cammo get removed like the GTR’s was ???
That’s just the way the new PS store works, you need to ‘purchase’ it for free and act as if it’s an item you are buying.
No, the black cloth and camo wrap are actually the final design of the car… :/
Need new tracks and WRC special in Corsica, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Japan, France…………………..!!!
This +1000
Though honestly I think I’d rather a copy of WRC 3. It’s awesome and better for rallying than GT5. The stupid invisible walls kind of ruin rally in GT5
when will be fixed?????????
So has anybody decided whether or not to give it the oil job boost? I usually do but for the sake of authenticity I’m thinking maybe not.
Purchase another one in the NCD. It shouldn’t be a problem. I get where you’re coming from though. I’m the same way.
Who knows though because I know some cars need an oil change to reach their real life horsepower figure and others are at it without an oil change.
I note the original hp, kg and pp in the settings then adjust back to original hp and kg on all my whips just to maintain the cars’ stock performance.
It’s in the UK store and BG store. Downloaded it from both, but they didn’t appear in downloadable content. After 10 minutes I tried to download again and it said not avaliable yet. WTF? :)
Same thing happened to me this morning. Hopefully that problems fixed soon
I have the exact same problem. Put it in the cart and checked out from the EU store this morning, but it was never downloaded. When I try again it says it is not available for purchase at this time. Just have to wait for it to get fixed.
thanks for giving us something other then a GT-R
We also got a fresh line-up of NASCAR cars, a Toyota/Scion, and a “special edition” Red Bull X2010, the Vettel version. Very funny though.
Have anyone seen the new C7 in any EU Playstation stores? It’s about 10 hours since the news section in stated the car is available ‘Today’. I’m from Norway but nothing in my store. Really looking forward to try this car!
From Norway too. It is in the store, but You can’t purchase it atm :(
Hope the fix will bw inn soon
hm, have they fixed the problem now? want to try the new car today.
Greatings from Jessheim, Norway
Ikke ordnet sist jeg prøvde
@Frode English please.
I can’t download it… My wallet in PSN it’s empty and in cart there is also the HSV DLC. How can i erase the HSV from the cart??? I can’t buy PSN money cause i haven’t real money…. :( Please help!!!
Anyone????
You can’t remove the HSV010 from your cart? That’s weird. You should buy that car though it’s awesome.
No. The only options i have inside the cart are ENTER-BACK-SELECT-CHECKOUT-CONTINUE SHOPPING
I’m having issues downloading it, is it officially up for grabs or not yet?
Who else has noticed the front looks like a XKR’10/13?
Still looks like a tarp to me.
What kind of paint chip comes with it? Awe, who cares. We got a free C7 with camo! I knew it, I knew it! I was racing my ZR1 in3D last night thinking about when we’d get the C7 activated in the game. Thanks PD.
You won’t get a paint chip, you’ll get a swathe of sheer panty hose
Downloaded on my USA account but not available for download on my UK and NZ accounts. It will come soon.
I tried downloading it from my US account but I still can’t find it.
Can’t find it on the PS Store? or GT5? If you go to Games > Add Ons > New Add Ons It should be the first one. Then when you boot up GT5, because you enter GT Life go all the way to the right and click the DLC and install it. Then go to the chevy dealership
Downloaded the new C7 from PS Store, but nothing happened. It’s not appearing in my downloadable content.
But it is in Chevrolet car dealership. I don’t get it :)

Once you purchase it & and download it from PSN, you have to enter the game & install it using the DLC menu. (The red circle on the main menu of the game.)
Anybody know what song is on the C7 demo?
It’s gotta be one of Daiki Kasho’s songs. Try searching the lyrics. I’m interested as well.
Pretty good, crazy!!! a 2010 game with a 2014 vette! How can this be true? Wondering if come January we’ll actual really get the C7, and will it replace this test model or will we have both… Hopefully there will still just be 17 Chevy models in dealership and not 18. Meaning the prototype gets replaced later for free by the real C7.
NOOOOOOOOOO way are they going to Replace the camo version. For god’s sake, let that not be the case.
I doubt it. It’s modelled now. Pretty pointless spending time on it if it wasn’t going to be in GT6. Look at the GTR for example. The black mask is still around. I hope both camo and normal models will be available in GT6 at least.
So far, 170 people (Aust?) have the DLC.
Two years later and people still griping, perhaps you should have stopped playing a year ago or something. You aren’t the perfect definition of insane but you are bloody close to it.
Interesting that PD released this freebie, close to christmas I wonder what we will get for a christmas present this year? Perhaps PD can notch some stuff with Ford, BMW, AUDI and others for the hook up with soon to be released cars. Would love the new M3 GT and Ford Mustang ’13 and Camaro LT1. Hey it’s cool if we don’t get it, I have got my money’s worth out of this game and I’m close to 90% and I haven’t touched A Spec Extreme in almost a year. Spend all my time buying cars, hoarding money and tuning anything and everything to run on comfort tires.
Honestly I thought PD was done with this game, but I guess not.
I feel the same about everything you mentioned.
I have the “best” feeling that since we didn’t actually get anything for the two year anniversary of GT5, that we’re going to be getting something amazing for the 15th Year Anniversary of the Series. Think about it. Why release an update or something else and saying, “Hey, here’s a gift for the two years that GT5’s been out,” instead of mentioning the 15 years that GT’s been around for. That was a complex sentence for me to articulate so excuse me if it’s confusing.
The release of this car doesn’t necessarily mean that PD will support GT5 like they have been all this time. It’s a sign of it, but it isn’t definite, you know?
HAHA! I just tried the new Vette around the Nurburgring! I love it when PD comes up with these unexpected surprises.
I’m surprised auto manufacturers haven’t thought about unveiling cars through video games before… I mean… Is there even a downside? And now people will get to test the car virtually, so they won’t have any worry of the car being damaged, and potentially more sales on the car if it’s good. And it could lead to better and more realistic competition, so the manufacturers will push the developers to make the games as realistic as possible, and have the brands fight severely with each other to make the best car. Win-win for consumers.
This is Gran Turismo :) Not their first collaboration with the auto industry and hopefully not the last! I love it that they do this kind of projects!
Have you forgotten the GT by Citroen? Or the reveal and unlocking of the R35, literally as it was unveiled in real life? There are some others too. Check out PD’s official site.
Well… I meant more often, and with more common models (excluding the GT-R).
Excellent work PD!
would be good if i wasnt getting error messages trying to purchase the damned thing on the store…
Same here
Same
Ditto
It would be nice if my PS3 hadn’t YLOD’d for the third time this weekend…
Same deal, went home on my lunchbreak to get and tells me not available at this time.
same here
Same thing with me at Greece !
I love the humour of offereing the car with cover – a nice touch.
It’s got nothing to do with humour! If you take the time to read the article it explains that only a few Chevrolet test drivers have been allowed to drive the car and push it to it’s limits so in a collaboration with PD they are sharing the driving experiance ahead of it’s official release.
I don’t think you’re understanding what I said. I realise that the wraps are ther for a reason and due to that they offer a car still wrapped…hence the humour.
Chiil dude…
?
Seriously. Explain what you’re on about. Not messing about, some of us are slow to comprehend the “obvious”.
I thought it funny, as in amusing that the car is offered and driveable whilst still under it’s wrap; at least I’m assuming so like in the promo vid.
Now I may be wrong, as like so many, I cannot download it from the store just yet – but that appealed to my sense of humour, driving a car around with a cover on it – just seemed like a good, fun idea.
No big deal really…and now the joke is spoiled.
I didn’t get the joke either. But manufacturers do it all the time. And it’s not like a ‘wrapped’ car hasn’t been in GT5 before. Nissan GTR Black mask.
These cars usually get driven to and from places on public roads. Or as part of the development anyway. It’s under a wrap so other manufacturers don’t copy the styling until it’s released. There’s usually slight differences in styling between concepts and development cars. Adding a car into a game during development is a good move. Raises the cars profile and therefore create more sales. Also if GT5 is as realistic as it said to be. It could also help development.
Jaguar XK mk2 went to Goodwood FoS a few years ago wearing a wrap. This year they took the F-type and Mercedes took a C63 Estate. I think it was a C63. And I also hope that it was a sort of wrap to hide certain things. It was done up with Zebra stripes. Not nice.
Well I do have a somewhat unusual sense of humour, so don’t take it personally.
Bom, I’m not sure that the Black Mask is the same kind of thing – as I’ve seen other cars driving around on the roads with the same style ‘mask’ on the bonnet.
sad day . here i im waithing for the new viper to came to gt5 and yet i get this camouflage prototype junk..
and before you guys flame me … i HATE the corvette viper all the way ..
if you dont wanna get flamed then keep ur mits of the keyboard
You honestly don’t deserve to live if you can’t appreciate Americas oldest & greatest sports car.
I’m a little confused… I gathered that you hate the Corvette… But do you hate the Viper? “here i im waithing for the new viper” and “i HATE the corvette VIPER all the way” don’t line up…
He’s inept at PRACTICING grammar while trying to incite bashing from others. Leave the troll be.
I agree. Although, one of these days, the troll will go alittle to far, and will end up getting someone so pissed off that they will take time out of thier day to hunt down & kill said troll.
I agree with him though. I’m happy to get the C7 but I’d much rather have the new Viper. It sucks that Flopza has it but not GT. No biggie though. Viper > Corvette
Flopza. Can’t get any more childish and unoriginal than that.
I knew that PD was going to give their fans something this month, this is one of the best gifts ever for GT5. The C7 handles amazingly compared to the C6.
Wait, what? Is this for real?!!?? I’ll go check right now! And if it is, does it mean that we will be able to buy the production model some time soon?
Hopefully, but when that is unveiled & released, it’ll probably cost $0.99. Not that I’m complaining
I have like 3 bucks in my wallet now that I’ve checked, so I think that’s enough to buy anything that PD might trow at us in the near future. I just tried the car and it feels ok.
The c7 handles really good compared to the c6 model way less wheel spin
Derp, maybe because it only has 441hp instead of 500? Derp
“Sorry this product cannot be purchased at this time” WTF!!
People keep talking about a Spec 3 but do we even know if it’s coming? I’d love to see it but I just don’t know.
I hope we get Spec 3. It may just end up being small, not as big as Spec 2
Yay! Vette C7 for FREE!!! Hopefully the revealed C7 will be free too….
Sweet 10/10.
A DLC is always good news, a free DLC even better news, a free DLC of a brand new Corvette model, we must be getting close to Christmas! What a pleasent surprise :)
I was hoping todays seasonal would be for the C7 :(
It’s such a shame about that that even words can’t describe how wrong that is. If we get an event on the next go around, that would be awesome actually. By far, it’ll give people enough time to get the hang of the car.
Pleasantly surprised by its handling
Fix the lacking a-spec and the ridiculously stupid and bad ai. Fix the shifting simulation. Then I’ll care about gt again. Right now GT5 (and all of GT) is completely DEAD. Kaz did a great job of killing it..
We just don’t care about your comments any longer. Go away.
BWX, your mum girlfriend and sister called me again last night, they are well, ur mum still goes alright for an old girl
He is kinda right, but I don’t think this will be fixed in GT5. Maybe an extended A-Spec, but not much else. So if these issues won’t allow him to enjoy a game he once loved, I think he has right to complain. I can still find enjoyment in the game, so I don’t need to complain as much. But as soon as I run out of things to do, everything BWX has said is what I will be saying, for in my eyes, these are the most pressing issues in GT5. I’m excited for this new car, too, but there’s a lot to be fixed in the game aside from that. It’s one car, this is is many, MANY other issues.
Quake, theres a difference between having a gripe and S@&ting on the game
Thanks a lot, sayba2th. I mean, the man is CONSTANTLY (even consistently) being like this.
Well, he’s fed up with some issues that could have been fixed. Some couldn’t have, but an extended A-Spec is DEFINITELY something that could’ve been and still can be done, but isn’t. So I think he has a right to post these complaints if he can’t be satisfied with the game and the developers won’t seem to do much about it. BUT, as I’ve said, I don’t think anything other than an extended A-Spec can or will be fixed, or is WORTH being fixed in GT5 before GT6. I’d just say save it all for GT6. So I partially agree with his point, but also disagree with some of it.
Nice :D. I’m gonna try the new C7 today on the ‘Ring. Need to see how this monster handles the green hell ;). Thanks PD and GM!
Thanks to Obama/Obummer (whichever you prefer) for that. lmao
“…we’re thrilled to give fans this extraordinary level of access to the seventh generation Corvette that otherwise would not be possible.” -K.Yamauchi
… like when an rFactor modder creates one with more accurate physics and sounds in, maybe, a week? At home? Certainly a possibility.
To Polyphony Digital / Sony: Keep this man on a non-stop Autoshow/Tradeshow/Only-Car-In-Class Nurburgring Race tour for the duration. He is much more suited to things of that nature. The fans of this franchise are calling for a Racing simulator. More cars are nice, but what are we to do with them? Take photos? What would this game be like if the career progression had some Life to it? What if you hired a proportionate ratio of A.I. Programmers to Car Modelers- in 2010 it was a 2/29 ratio (5 of which are ‘car modeling directors’). Come on now. It doesn’t have to be 1/1, but 2/29 is killing us. Some sort of actual Tire model, detailed force-feedback settings, and telemetry wouldn’t hurt either. You really can make GT a top-level sim AND playable for the masses at the same time. Two-way communication with your patrons, meaningful study of your competition, and a full and rapid maturation of your decision-making processes is the only way that you stand a chance of long term prosperity. We all hope to see you succeed.
–
ugh. **** me, you guys are out of hand.
out of hand like 15 comments in 5 minutes from one person?
2 years of the same complaining comments. We get it. We’re sick of it. Yes, the game is flawed, no need to bring it up every chance you get.
I agree with Jakhole & nismo34. If you’re going to complain about the game, then go play something else if you’re not happy with it.
Because we very well know that these fixes are possible, we just aren’t sure if PD will listen, and we’re trying to make absolutely CERTAIN that they get our message so we don’t end up with these issues in another game and have to suffer for another 3-5 years, depending on how long it takes GT7 to be developed.
Oh you sure got me there researchallwars. Make a thread and make constructive criticisms about your feelings, ideas and ways to fix the problems.
And I gotta wait a few more days to try the C7 proto out. You on the other hand are acting like one of the *bad word I shouldn’t say* that doesn’t know what to do with himself. Take my previous post that I made two minutes ago to heart, instead of holding a grudge and continuing to act like a child.
best drift car on the game IMO lolol
I’m so glad to hear that. I like using the other ‘Vettes for drifting, plus they sound good.
Now if we could only get Cheverolet’s Corvette DP ;)
THIS.
Brilliant marketing Cheverolet and excellent work PD! I have a huge love affair with the Corvette so I will greatly enjoy the C7 and I hope it has a cool RM version when we get it in June!
from russia: Americans are you happy now_? your Corvette CCC7 LoL ? now i need maybe new Bmw or Mercedes or …? nissan? LOL
FREE ? LOL
Did people notice the yellow Chevrolet suit? Prrrrrrretty sweet.
Wish they included that suit with the car or something, that would be cool. Maybe they will make a special event for it or something.
Oh it’s coming. I’m feeling we get it when the beast is fully unveiled.
Wow how exciting…
Great job Chevy for doing the collaboration and Sony and PD for making it free. More manufactures should follow suit us I know the everybody that can’t drive this car wishes they could and we all are!!
Well, I dont think its something I would be excited about……
SPOILER ALERT!!! Wash, oil change, chassis reinforcemen and tires (with new tire menu screen). That’s it! One more thing – I thought it would take much longer to CG a car at PD? Stock tune is VERY MUCH appreciated. This whip handles much better than I’d expect from Chevy and it sounds great too! Oh and I don’t dig scratched up whips either Dr. K. Great job.
What spoiler? I’m probably dense but the tyre menu doesn’t look any different than it usually does. However, I am also happy to see the ‘Vette having only chassis reinforcement and the only tuning being ballast, engine limiter, brake balance, and tyres. I’m looking forward to the January release and hopefully the actual C7 will be out for GT5 very shortly after.
BTW for those who don’t know the C7 is now in the new car dealer for $100,000, Level 12.
When I saw the news pop up, I was like loadloadloadloadload!!!! xD
I can’t download this DLC..
My first attempt resulted in “No data found”
Which brought a slight smile to my face since we all knew the data was already installed.
But then in the game the C7 still isn’t there.
So I went back to the store, it’s now saying the item is unavailable
*pulls hair out*
Glad that I’m not the only one. I was thinking it may be a NZ store specific issue but clearly not if you have it in the EU
I have to wonder if it’s just overloaded systems, I guess I’ll try again in a few hours
Wait two months; And get a free virtual tarp.
Ok, lets play this differently….
HarVee can you EXPLAIN your comment please(?) ; )
Oh @HarVee. So far I haven’t complained once yet and it seems like this latest news is really keeping me happy. January is coming close, and who knows what’s gonna be in December. >:)
I’m thinking downloadable livery too…roll on January ..
Free virtual tarp?…. We’ve wait months before and got a free virtual medal can as well, right?
HarVee, the man/woman who is half-everything.
@ Toko
I guess we’ll just see if you can stay positive for another 5 weeks. >:)
@ jakhole
Coming from a ‘half-everything’ like yourself, that means a whole lot to me! /sarcasm
So, this is available on the USA and Canada PSN for free? Cause the store usually updates Tuesday, (like yesterday)… and I never saw any GT5 “New” DLC. Also yesterday even the Spa track was not available in the store…
Happy daze! This bodes well for Spec 3, and our prezzie from Santa Kaz. Never Stop Playing.
unfortunately, for us, brazilians, we do not have access to some DLCs….
Get a US account :|
Get an US account. Have mine since I got my PS3… A lot better!
PD really seems to screw over the Brazillians. For such a large racing demographic they don’t give them alot of the stuff like this Vette or GT Academy… they should really work on that. But Japan tends to get more then the rest of the planet anyways.
Amac500, you have a point. And I’m just saying, Brazil’s internet in general is about 50 years behind.
Sony/Polyphony Digital DID have that publicity stunt in Brazil a couple of years back. Look it up, it’s pretty cool.
Thank you PD the car is awesome!
One more thing…….445 hp standard. It sounds like, to steal a phrase from NFL Net’s Michael Irvin, A BEEEEEEAST!!!!!! lol
1472-4711-0510-9356-2611
We are having a ball
Wow, GT5 needs more epic camera angles like in this video, hopefully it could be in GT6. The sunset scenes brought some tears to my eyes. GT5 nailed it on this video. Thanks for the car too!
Totally agree! The shaking camera is SO much more realistic than the stedycam in GT5 that makes every single replay boring..! This video was AWESOME!
can you paint it? lol
Pmsl XD
nope but you can wash it lol
Washing a trap? Seems pointless.
tarp*
Nope.
CorvertteConquer approves anything Corvette related!
lol
Here’s hoping the next seasonal TT to use this with no tuning allowed.
it sounds so MEAN!!! nice, this is a much better sound….”sexy”
.. it looks like a viper.. again. xD
Is there a cockpit view in this
The video above shows it does. Its a premium car of course.
Im on the app so i couldn’t view the video for some reason it doesnt work on my mobile but I was just curious because the concept gtr or whatever which is premium doesn’t have cockpit view but thanks anyway i appreciate it
Yup. The interior is camo’d too with instrumentation turned off? Interesting.
“The camouflaged Corvette C7 Test Prototype is immediately available for download…” according to the message PD have sent out in GT5, NOT IN THE UK IT AINT
:p
Thats why you get a US account, silly ;)
This is like a 1 up on for a lol (btw I’m not a “fanboy” I own both games.) I will dafinately be getting this.
can we get some interior shots?
C7 Prototype Test at SS Route X:
0-to-60 – 4.3 seconds
0-to-100 – 9.35 seconds
1/4 Mile – 12.6 seconds
The Flying Mile – 30.5 seconds
Top Speed – 197.0 mph
Not too bad…….
Thank You for posting this up : )
It’s a helpful indication to me since I aint got it yet.
Anyone else notice a snow covered Nurburg ring in the video
Scratch that i think it was a snow covered sarth
I am pretty sure it is the lighting.
about 24 seconds in , i have watched it about 30 rimes now , its snow im sure of it
It’s the just the effect of altering the gain and contrast – if you look the textures of the ground look exactly like the green grass and gravel of Le Sarthe.
IMO It’s 1000% La Sarthe – and it’s not snow its just the lighting/effects. : )
I reckon it’s just that Partial Color effect like they have in game for photos. It’s definitely La Sarthe though.
Really , 1000% , 100 not good enough anymore.
Now you mention it it looks like a partial colour filter , shame , sarth in the snow would have been fun
@timapexward – I used 1000% for emphasis. So drop it and don’t be such a Pratt.
It’s not my fault YOUR not good enough. XP
Just downloaded, cant find in the dealership :/
Go to main menu ingame > DLC Content > Corvette > Install
Then you’ll find it in your little car delivery truck. : )
thank you!
My Pleasure! : )
got a room up!!! its called Corvette C7 testing and we are on Circuit de la Sarthe.
So far (on stock tires)
0-60 4.5
0-100 8.5
top speed 201mph
6th is a cruiser. 65mph at 1300rpm
Id kill myself if i missed this
Is it only today available?
It’s available forever ever ever and ever
If only they would work on the sound engine as detailed as they do on the graphics to replicate the real car.. still happy to see a new car added to Gran Turismo 5 after 2 years, just lost my hope about joyful sounds in this game, which takes away a lot of the excitement for me personally. I’m still curious how it looks in detail, how it sounds (it should be decent at least) and feels overall (will it deliver that special feel of driving a unique prototype car still in development?).
This car might not have the real sounds because it hasn’t been actually released. There might be some stuff they aren’t allowed to do etc.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up tommorow as a key gen file. We know its in the game as people have sen it already in the “demo” section.
Central America.. still not UP.
Search “C7” in the store. I live in Missouri and it’s up for me.
Thanks!
Ok, it’s Up! hehe
Me want.
It is not appering in the UK
Not in Norway.
It would be nice if the existing Corvettes RM versions didn’t push like a truck! We had an online race recently,and there was a common theme…piece of junk. I think the car is one of the coolest RM in the game,but overall driving should feel just as good as both of the Camaro race models! I hope GT5 can adress this problem soon!
Wonder if we’ll ever get that smokey back ground for a photo location and I would also think the wind tunnel would be cool too.
This.
Thank you PD! :) happy happy
AWWWWWWWWWWW
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAH
I just saw that on Chevy’s Google+ page.
Awesome!!! I can’t wait, thanks PD.
A car in a blanket … Yawwwwwnnn
People who post things just to cause arguments…….Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
Jordan you can’t post stuff like this that suggests we can all download it today. :D You just cant!
I turned my PS3 on literally as soon as I seen the title, lol.
Agreed @Xamado7V. +10
Typical a FREE car as DLC and someone bitches that its in a blanket. What a retard!! What’s next bitching its not a Nissan GTR or because its free. FFS
I’m actually starting to think that this is really cool/interesting that were able to drive a car with ‘pre-release’ masking.
I just find it to be a really quirky idea. : )
cool/interesting prospect*
Baaaaaa …. Go the sheep .
And to the window licker who called me a retard , get a life little boy eh ?
Baaaaaaa Ignored… Don’t feed the trolls others will say. :)
Only ‘retard’ would make a post like that though.
Hmmmmmm……..
P.s that was aimed at TJC, not you Toko : )
No worries @Xamado7V. I already knew it was directed at @TJC_69. :)
Hentis wins. Unanimous decision, it was. WOOT WOOT!
New Viper is nicer, but what the heck :)
It’s not showing up yet! :O
Now only one more DLC. The new Hennessey Venom GT2.
100% YES.
Wow It’s heavy at 1500kg and not that much powerful….still really fun to drive.
what does it sound like?
To me it sounds great. :D
Won’t be in the UK store till tomorrow I suspect :'(
Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway coz my PS3 Slim has just thrown an 80710D23 error code at me while i was trying to enter the store. Wonder what that is…
Good stuff Jordan. Thanks again!
hear music instead of engine
Woo hoO new Sh*t!!! Thank PD
YES! It’s great to see the Vette C7 in GT5, looks so much better in it. Now I gotta try this out. *v*
SCE Support better fix my account fast because the GT5 Paint Pack didn’t want to download and now I want to download the C7 Corvette. They have only begun working on my account 10mins ago. Lol it feels like 10 years. Can’t wait to test it out when I download it.
It’s not in the UK store yet. :(
IT’S UP! GO GET IT!
Just downloaded the car now. Can’t wait to try the new vette! :D
Just downloaded it!!!
A free car that is also awesome? Yes please!
I will get this car as soon as it is on the PSN Store
Tomorrow
Did you remember what I said to you :)
Nice. I can’t wait to see this when fully releases without the camo on it. this is good news
Jordan I love you but Where’s video? let’s hear some engine sound of this chevy, i think its sounds like vacuum again
I just rushed to the PlayStation store thinking he meant it was there now. Lol, I guess it will be downloadable tomorrow?
Its up, i just started gt5, then quit and went back into the playstation store, searched “C7” and its the only thing that comes up.
Is it in the store yet for anyone? I still don’t see it :(
So PD and Chevy have a ‘partnership’ does this mean we could possibly be getting exclusives of other models?
If I recall, I believe it just means that presently like the new Dodge Viper was only available in Forza 4 (and Forza Horizon), the Corvette C7 will be only available in GT5. I suspect both are timed exclusives though.
Correction, SRT Viper (Dammit Dodge).
What, you mean like Nissan?
*Troll Face*
How about the new F12berlinetta?
good marketing strategy!
I prefer new Ferrari Berlinetta!
didnt expect this, wow! :O
Very nice!
The title says video, where is the video?
