General Motors has unveiled the future of Corvette with two striking new concept vehicles – the all-electric Chevrolet Corvette CX and the CX.R Vision Gran Turismo hybrid. Both models were officially revealed on August 15 at The Quail motorsports event in Carmel, California, and signal a bold new chapter for the legendary Corvette nameplate.
These new concepts are more than just radical design studies – according to Chevrolet, the CX and CX.R will be considered the vision of Corvette moving forward. Inspired by modern fighter jets and high-performance video games, both cars were designed to look aggressively futuristic, pushing the boundaries of the traditional Corvette design language.
The fully electric CX concept leads the way, while the hybrid CX.R is already headed for a debut in the popular video game Gran Turismo 7, the latest installment of the long-running racing franchise. This marks the first time in more than a decade that the Corvette badge has been featured on a concept vehicle – the last Corvette concept was introduced back in 2009.
Earlier this year, GM tasked several of its design studios around the world with the development of Corvette-inspired hypercars. In March, the UK studio presented the first concept, followed by another electric concept in July from the Pasadena, California studio. But the CX and CX.R, designed and built at the Chevrolet Performance Studio in Warren, Michigan, will now serve as the official blueprint for the future of Corvette.
GM’s global design network played a key role in this process, with input from teams in Michigan, Southern California, China, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Phil Zak, Executive Design Director at Chevrolet, emphasized the importance of this design experiment, saying that the concepts “will influence where we go forward.”
At this point, there are no official production plans for either model, but the message from GM is clear – these concepts showcase how Corvette will evolve in the coming years, blending electrification, high-performance aerodynamics, and cutting-edge styling.
Whether it remains in the world of virtual racing or eventually makes its way to the streets, the CX and CX.R have introduced a new era for the Corvette brand – one that clearly embraces the future.
