One of the most sought after prototype vehicles of the year has been photographed and filmed, not by professional spy shooters, but by a reader and a YouTube user respectively, both in the same place in Red River, a resort town in Taos County, New Mexico, over the weekend.

The photos come to us courtesy of a Jalopnik reader who spotted a large fleet of General Motors’ sports cars consisting of five Camaro ZL1s, all current versions of the Corvette C6 including the base model, the Z06 and the flagship ZR1, plus eight covered models that are believed to be prototypes of the next Corvette C7.

In addition to the images, we also discovered a short video on YouTube from a one Phil McGroin, who also says that he filmed the Corvette C7 test car in Red River.

The new C7 ought to debut early next year, possibly at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January, with sales to begin in the States in the fall of the same year with a base price starting from around $50,000 (€38,000).

Thanks to Jalopnik for the pictures!
