While it would be interesting to see the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray wearing an over-the-top suite of aerodynamic mods, what you’re looking at in these pictures isn’t a tuning proposal but renderings of the upcoming Corvette C7 FIA GT3 racer from Callaway Competition.

The tuning and motorsports outfit, which has been the homologation holder for the Corvette C6 iteration of the GT3 car with the FIA from 2007 to present, said it has just received the letter of authorization from Chevrolet to embark on a development program to turn the C7 into a GT3-class racecar, with more details to be released in the near future.

As for the street-legal model, Callaway is currently working on a Shooting Brake-style conversion for the new Corvette (see here) priced just under $15,000.
