In connection with the opening, GM revealed an advanced design study Chevrolet Corvette concept car developed by the UK team as part of a global design project involving multiple studios that will see additional Corvette concepts revealed throughout 2025.
Concept technical specifications and assumptions: Body structure: Additive manufacturing body structure For low mass, manufacturing efficiency, part count reduction and driving agility Halo roof structure with wind shield center spar
Body panels: Additive manufactured structure exposed for light weight authenticity Part integration, panel count reduction
Closures: Full wrap around side glass to deliver Apex Vision Powered wing door design
Aero-Duality: On-road efficiency and on-track performance in harmony Fan assistance and active ducting to redirect air over and through the vehicle On-road: flowing forms, functional intakes and vented surfaces On road: air directed through vehicles to fill its wake, increasing efficiency and range On track: like an aircraft wing, aero surfaces reconfigure, dorsal fins deploy and spoiler venting creates aero vectoring to enhance cornering performance Sculpted underbody, lowered ride height and fan assistance delivers ground effect
Chassis: Racecar inspired, package efficient, pushrod suspension set-up
Interface: Windshield center spar augmented display
Dimensions: 1033mm tall / 2178mm width / 4669mm length 22inch front wheel / 23inch rear wheel 127mm seat height – race car inspired

Bleah.
Corvettes must be American, and they’ve turned them into Eurotrash hypercar designs.
Doing 70mph+ is a different thing.
To be bought by geezers who will drive it like a Priaps.
Agrre.
But at around 135mph, the front end starts to go airborne.
Really needed some aero work like a lower air dam to keep the sir from piling up and raising things.
Looks like the vehicles in the movie Minority Report....sad.
It looks like a Koenigsegg.
You ducked my question.
“Doing 70mph+ is a different thing.”
If it is good enough for supersonic jets it will be fine at 70+ mph
I don’t know exact numbers. But the military uses analog night vision.
“But at around 135mph, the front end starts to go airborne.
Really needed some aero work like a lower air dam to keep the sir from piling up and raising things.”
My 2016 Mustang GT started to feel that at about 110.
My 2019 Roush is comfortable at 135+.
This will never see the light of day...in the next 25 years.
Recently sold my ‘62 w/both tops. It was a fine car, but at 6’2”, it was difficult to ingress & egress with either top on.
Next one will be a C2 coupe, i hear they are more driver friendly.
Boom Overture
I dont think the Mach V is a new concept. I remember watching that a long time ago.
“I don’t know exact numbers.”
Then how do you know it won’t work?
Self-driving cars used more complex image processing and they work fine at 70+mph.
It looks like a cylon from BSG.
“To be bought by geezers”
I am 78. Am I an old geezer?
I heard that 70 is the new 50, so I want one of those and a cheerleader for a do-over of my mid-life crisis!
