The idea of building a wagon on top of the Chevrolet Corvette has been floating around pretty much since the GM halo car was born. However, the automotive producer never turned the 'Vette into a shooting brake (use this two-door side of the fantasy, if you must), so we must rely on aftermarket jobs for such a transformation. However, now that the C8 has brought the game to the mid-engined level, such third-party conversions might not take place anymore, so we'll be left with renderings like the one sitting before us.
Sure, Corvette specialist Callaway offered its AeroWagen conversion for the C7 Corvette, but what good would some extra real estate do when the engine sits behind the front seats? The only benefit would be that of turning the C8 into a show car, but the form-over-function principle is not the cleanest, especially when describing the very body style of a vehicle in such fashion.
Then again, one should never say never, especially given the irresistible mix between the more exotic nature of the midship Corvette and its $60,000 starting price. For the record, it looks like this affordable nature of the base model will be maintained for the 2021 car, as we recently discussed in an article dedicated to the second model year of this generation.
This can't-be-refused offer of the 'Vette will also mean that more and more owners will start looking for ways to stand out, so you never know when some eccentric builder out there finds a way to look past the said principle and come up with a wagon version, regardless of the number of doors.
Meanwhile, the pixel painting sitting before us comes from another part of the automotive world, namely the face swap subgenre of the rendering realm, which has turned into a bit of a trend in the final part of the last decade.
So yes, this effort, which comes from social media label carfrontswaps, is the front end of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, digitally glued onto the body of a Cadillac CTS-V, so at least we're talking about staying inside the General Motors performance circle.
