Powerful Corvette Concepts Offer 2000 HP Engines and Advanced Airflow Enhancements
Two Visionary Corvette Concepts Unveiled for Gran Turismo 7
Two groundbreaking Corvette concepts, the all-electric CX and the hybrid CX.R Vision Gran Turismo, are set to make their virtual debut in the upcoming video game, Gran Turismo 7, later this month.
The all-electric Corvette CX is a 2,000+ horsepower all-wheel-drive supercar that pushes the boundaries of performance and design. Powered by four independent electric motors, each driving a single wheel, and a 90-kWh lithium-ion battery system, this futuristic vehicle showcases advanced torque vectoring for exceptional handling. Aerodynamically, the CX utilizes an innovative Vacuum Fan System that suctions the car to the ground, along with active front and rear diffusers. The design features a fighter-jet-inspired lift-off canopy roof, a sleek low silhouette, classic Corvette cues like a forward-lunging nose and dual-element taillights, and a driver-focused Inferno Red cockpit with ballistic textile seats and a digital windscreen for real-time data.
In contrast, the hybrid CX.R Vision Gran Turismo is a track-focused, performance-maximizing concept that combines a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter V8 engine with a redline of 15,000 rpm producing 900 horsepower, alongside three electric motors (two powering the front wheels and one integrated in the transmission). The powertrain delivers a combined output exceeding 2,000 horsepower, managed by an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The CX.R features aggressive active aerodynamic elements, including a lower ride height to enhance downforce and grip for racing endurance. Its interior is stripped of touring comforts and uses lightweight raw carbon fiber and suede materials to provide structural support for high-g cornering, with enlarged shoulder and headrest pads.
Both concepts have been developed with detailed engineering input to ensure realistic driving characteristics in the Gran Turismo 7 video game. They represent Chevrolet's future design direction, blending heritage Corvette styling with cutting-edge propulsion and aerodynamic technology. The CX leans fully electric with futuristic aero tech and cockpit design, while the CX.R prioritizes racing hybrid performance with hybrid powertrain sophistication and race-ready aerodynamics and weight-saving measures.
The CX concept boasts features such as the Vacuum Fan System, which adjusts airflow over the rear diffuser in real-time, and an active front diffuser and rear wing that respond to driver inputs. The wing-shaped suspension A-arms enhance airflow and reduce front-end lift. The CX.R Vision Gran Turismo, on the other hand, features more aggressive aerodynamics for maximum downforce. Both vehicles demonstrate Chevrolet's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and performance.
