Corvette Stingray Concept

Remember Sideswipe from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Well, this is what the character transformed into ? the Corvette Stingray Concept, built to celebrate 50 years of the Stingray model.

Combining style cues from the original car with modern elements such as scissorstyle doors, a rearview camera with nightvision and a hybrid engine, it sounds a little too refined to be the successor of an unruly 1950s V8. But then you see it has four large exhausts at the back and the most sinister rear lights a car has ever known, so equilibrium is restored.
