The Corvette CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo concepts represent Chevrolet’s bold vision for the next generation of performance design. Revealed at The Quail in Monterey, these futuristic machines carry the Corvette legacy forward with innovation that excites both the street driver and the racing purist.
The Future of Corvette Design Language
These concepts are not just showpieces. They serve as living design studies, shaping the Corvette aesthetic for years to come. Every line and curve speaks to more than 70 years of performance heritage while daring to imagine what comes next.
Corvette CX Concept – Performance Without Compromise
The Corvette CX concept is the ultimate marriage of road and track readiness. Its low, sleek stance, fighter-jet-inspired canopy, and sculpted aerodynamics were refined alongside GM Motorsports Aero Group. Active aero components and a Vacuum Fan System work together for massive downforce and precision handling.
Engine Specs and Electrified Power
The CX is a fully electric supercar with four motors delivering over 2,000 horsepower. All-wheel drive and four-wheel torque vectoring ensure maximum grip in any corner. A 90-kWh lithium-ion battery, mounted low in the chassis, keeps weight balanced for razor-sharp response.
Inside the Corvette CX
Entering the CX feels like stepping into a cockpit. The forward-opening canopy welcomes driver and passenger into seats wrapped in Inferno Red ballistic textile. Premium leather, aluminum, and forged carbon fiber set the tone. The digital windscreen offers immersive performance data while controls are integrated seamlessly into the steering wheel.
Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo – Racing DNA Reimagined
The CX.R is a purebred race concept inspired by Corvette’s championship history. With its iconic yellow and black livery, lowered stance, and even more aggressive aero, it’s built to dominate the track. Weight is trimmed, and the cockpit is stripped to essential racing functionality.
CX.R VGT Powertrain
Under the skin, the CX.R combines three electric motors with a mid-mounted 2.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that revs to 15,000 rpm. The hybrid system produces an astonishing 2,000 horsepower, while renewable e-fuel powers the combustion engine. An 8-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures seamless power delivery.
From Concept Stage to Virtual Track
Chevrolet partnered with Polyphony Digital to bring both concepts into Gran Turismo 7. Players will soon have the chance to experience the vision and performance virtually, blurring the line between game and reality.
Summary
The Corvette CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo concepts are more than futuristic prototypes. They are bold statements about where performance cars are headed, fusing heritage, innovation, and breathtaking capability in a way only Corvette can.
