The C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette has been attracting a lot of attention since it premiered a touch over 12 months ago. However, unbeknownst to most of us, Chevrolet has subtly unveiled the C9 Corvette and it looks suspiciously like a… McLaren 720S!
This image was recently shared on Reddit and shows a bright green 720S sitting in a parking lot next to a Lamborghini Huracan and an Audi R8. However, it does have some, well, interesting features.
Found at the front of the British exotic is a Corvette badge and a Corvette sticker. There is also a Corvette sticker on the base of the doors.

While car enthusiasts are very familiar with McLaren, the sad truth of that the automaker is not yet as well-known across the U.S. as rivals like Ferrari and Lamborghini. What’s more, McLaren is also far less familiar to many than the Corvette. This fact makes us think the 720S owner may, for whatever reason, be having a little bit of fun and trying to fool the Average Joe into thinking that this is indeed the mid-engined Corvette.
The badges and stickers could also be viewed as a subtle jab to owners of the C8 Corvette who are very proud of the fact the car is new mid-engined, as if to say, “Settle down, the McLaren is a real blue-blooded supercar.”
