There’s nothing new about automakers jumping in the bed with digital game developers, but we have to say that we were surprised to learn that the upcoming, seventh generation of the Corvette popped up in a couple of demo “screen saver” session in Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) racing game.
The Corvette C7’s appearance in GT5 was not only confirmed, but also filmed by at least separate three players from the GTPlanet forums, who shared their videos on YouTube.
The demo footage shows General Motor’s flagship sports car dressed in black camouflage with a “Polyphony” (which is the creator of the game) Corvette license plate.
No doubt, we will keep an eye on the GT5 (for work and not recreational purposes…) to see if GM has more in store for us over the next few weeks.
In related news, another player discovered a monochromatic image of a Lamborghini Aventador with racing stripes in Gran Turismo 5’s online Photo Stream website.
