Chevrolet has unveiled two new Corvette concepts — the Corvette CX and the CX.R Vision Gran Turismo — set to arrive in Gran Turismo 7 later this month after making their debut at The Quail.
While neither will see production, both are designed to shape the future of Corvette design, blending over 70 years of performance heritage with forward-looking ideas that honor the legacy of America’s sports car.
Chevrolet’s performance engineers and design team worked together to create detailed plans for the chassis, drivetrain and aerodynamics of both models. In partnership with Polyphony Digital Inc., part of Sony Interactive Entertainment, the road-focused CX and the race-bred CX.R VGT will give players on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 a chance to take these vision cars for a spin in the virtual world.
“While the shape of a Corvette has always been expressive and forward-looking, each crease and line has its roots in the generations that came before it. It is aspirational, it is cultural, it is the reason people want to come and work at Chevrolet,” said Phil Zak, executive design director for Chevrolet. “The CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo demonstrate our design teams stepping away from the constraints of production vehicles and unleashing their creativity. Through this exercise, we’ve added to Corvette and defined the design direction for Corvette moving forward.”
