Where oh where to begin with this one…


Automotive designer Rain Prisk took to Facebook to post this interesting renderingof a C8 Corvettewith a split rear window. It’s reminiscent of the 1963 Corvette, the first year of the C2 when GM designers thought adding a split rear window to the coupe would be stylish. That design aesthetic lasted just one model year because people complained about the diminished rearward visibility, and now collectors fawn over them.

See a junked 1963 Corvette Z06 split window here.

Not only has the Rain Prisk added a dividing element down the middle of the back window, the glass has shrunk to more closely mimic the dimensions on the C2 Corvette. After all, being able to see when reversing your car these days is easier thanks to rearview cameras, which of course give you a commanding view far superior to a large rear window.
