This restyled blue <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/13/2014-chevrolet-corvette-c7-stingray-everything-there-is-to-know/">2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray</a> is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/">Chevrolet</a> testing regimen, however. <a href="http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165150"><em>Digital Corvettes</em> </a>forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.<br />

It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/12/first-2014-chevy-corvette-stingray-spotted-crashed-in-the-wild/">First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:47:00 EST.
