Corvette CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo Concepts Preview the Future of Corvette Design
Carmel-By-The-Sea, 2025 – Chevrolet has lifted the veil on its high-performance vision for the future with the debut of two concept cars, the Corvette CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo (VGT), at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. While neither vehicle is intended for production, they provide a bold glimpse into the next era of Corvette design, celebrating over 70 years of American sports car heritage while projecting performance into the future.
Corvette CX Concept: The Street and Track Masterpiece
Designed and fabricated at the Chevrolet Performance Studio in Warren, MI, the Corvette CX embodies a forward-looking vision while staying true to Corvette’s unmistakable design DNA. Its long, low silhouette, dual-element taillights, and forward-lunging nose echo generations of Corvette styling, while a fighter-jet-inspired cockpit canopy highlights the car’s futuristic performance intent.
Performance innovations abound. The CX concept features a four-motor all-wheel-drive electric propulsion system, generating more than 2,000 horsepower. A 90-kWh battery ensures a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution, while active aero and a Vacuum Fan System optimize downforce and handling on the road or track.
Inside, the driver-focused cabin combines Inferno Red ballistic textiles, premium silicone leather, milled aluminum, and forged carbon fiber accents. The forward-opening canopy and immersive digital windscreen provide both drama and functionality, placing the driver at the center of a next-generation Corvette experience.
Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo: Racing DNA Meets Virtual Performance
Building on the CX concept, the CX.R Vision Gran Turismo concept imagines the Corvette’s future on the racetrack. Designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, lower ride height, and reduced weight, the CX.R VGT embodies Corvette Racing’s 25-year legacy. Its familiar yellow-and-black livery honors past Corvette GT racecars, while active aero systems and aggressive exterior cues emphasize its track-focused nature.
The CX.R VGT features a mid-mounted 2.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 900 hp, paired with three electric motors for a total system output of 2,000 hp. Powered by renewable e-fuel, this hybrid powertrain is coupled to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering immediate torque and jaw-dropping acceleration.
Inside, weight-saving carbon fiber surfaces, suede-wrapped seats, and enhanced driver support demonstrate the car’s uncompromising focus on high-speed performance and racing comfort.
Corvette Design for the Future, Virtually
Beyond physical concepts, Chevrolet is bringing these visions to life digitally. In collaboration with Polyphony Digital for Gran Turismo 7, both the CX and CX.R VGT will be available to drive virtually, letting fans experience the cutting-edge design and electrified performance of Corvette’s future.
“Each line, every crease, is rooted in Corvette history, yet it points boldly forward,” said Phil Zak, Executive Design Director for Chevrolet. “The CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo allow our design teams to unleash creativity beyond production constraints while defining the path for Corvette moving forward.”
