GM has revealed a new concept car that previews the next generation Chevrolet Corvette C9. The futuristic EV is clearly derived from the modern era of the Corvette, with its rakish, mid-engined proportions, but makes a clear nod to the Corvette’s legendary history with its split windshields at both the front and rear.

The bodywork is clean, featuring a distinct and smooth white upper section incorporating gullwing doors, complemented by a black lower portion, where cavernous intakes channel air through underbody tunnels to create downforce.

Overall, the concept stretches 1 hundred 84 inches long, which is about the same size as the current Corvette C8, but it’s 10 inches wider.

The prototype is 4.669 meters long, 2.178 meters wide, 1.033 meters high and has 22″ front and 23″ rear wheels. Mechanically, GM only mentions that the prototype is powered by electric motors, without announcing any other information.
The cabin is minimalist, with sleek chairs molded into the structure of the car and a rectangular, yoke-style steering wheel. This concept is very aero-focused, featuring a nearly completely open front end, with a center gap flanked by two large square-ish scoops, and very slim lights embedded in the edge of the wedge shape.
