The future is bright for the Corvette.
General Motors just opened the doors to a brand-new advanced design studio in Royal Leamington Spa, about 20 miles from Birmingham, and they’re already making waves with a wild new Chevrolet Corvette concept. Developed by the UK-based design team, the futuristic EV concept reimagines what a Corvette could look like with zero restrictions, blending clean, muscular shapes with design characteristics inspired by aviation. The reveal kicks off a global design project that’ll include even more Corvette concepts through 2025, each designed by different GM studios worldwide.
With the UK studio now up and running, GM is putting more focus on the European market as it ramps up Cadillac’s EV presence with plans to launch Corvette sales in the region. The Royal Leamington Spa location is led by Julian Thomson and staffed by more than 30 designers. The space is equipped to support both digital design and physical clay model work, and it’s already showing results with the debut of this concept. While there are no plans to put this version of the Corvette into production, the idea was to stretch creative boundaries and explore new possibilities for EVs.
The concept features an additive-manufactured body for reduced mass and greater efficiency, powered wing doors, a dual-aero system with fan-assisted airflow, and a racecar-inspired pushrod suspension setup. The entire car is low, wide, and aggressive, sitting just 40.66 inches tall and riding on staggered 22 and 23-inch wheels. With sculpted surfaces, active aero, and a futuristic windshield display setup, this Corvette concept feels like something straight out of a sci-fi film.
