Corvette: Rebuilding An Icon

Description: "For more than 50 years, the Corvette has been an American icon, a car that boasts unparalleled performance and represents a unique lifestyle. But with the 'Vette's 6th generation, the much-ballyhooed C6, right around the corner, the onus is on the engineers at Team Corvette to deliver a machine that lives up to the legacy of the Corvette name - and meets the expectations of a horsepower hungry public. Follow Chief Corvette Engineer Dave Hill - just the third engineer to oversee production of the Corvette - as he tweaks and tunes his latest design in the months leading up to the vehicle's debut. While fans expect the same classic Corvette style, he knows the car needs significant changes to bring it up to date for a new generation of drivers. The challenge is to perfect the car in real world conditions - without letting anyone from the real world get a sneak peek before it's ready. So while Dave and his crew tear through hairpin turns on Germany's Autobahn speedway, they keep a watchful eye on the rearview mirror for signs of Jim Dunne, the infamous spy photographer who's yanked the shroud of secrecy off more than a few pre-release vehicles. Jim has made it his mission to capture the first shot of a C6 before anyone else. With the media and fans desperate for a glimpse of the new model, Jim is just waiting for Team Corvette to slip up in order to capture his biggest prize yet. It's a race against time between two men on opposite sides of the assembly line - united by their admiration of what many consider America's greatest automobile."
