First glimpse of the new Corvette ahead of NAIAS debut

The first video and teaser shots of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette have emerged, offering just a glimpse of what we can expect when it is launched at the NAIAS in Detroit in January.

The video shows desigers working on a clay model before we get a bit too much gratuitous racetrack footage. It's after this we can finally take a look at some detail shots.

We can see some aggressive-looking vents and mesh before a succession of fast shots which include one of a wing mirror, another of a quarter panel and the new Crossed Flags Chevrolet badge.

We're sure this is the first of many teasers that will piece together a C7-shaped jigsaw.
