by Corvette C10 Concept: The Future of the Electric Supercar
General Motors has demonstrated its vision for the future of the Corvette by introducing the C10 concept. Although the next-generation C9 is still being prepared for release in 2029, the company is already looking even further ahead. The new concept, developed at the Advanced Design studio in Pasadena, California, is radically different from the classic Corvette—it abandons the traditional V8 in favor of an electric powertrain.
This is the second of three Corvette concepts that GM plans to show in 2025. Designers were given complete creative freedom, so the C10 resembles a hypercar more than a conventional sports car. Aggressive body lines, active aerodynamics, and a removable roof make it similar to models from Koenigsegg or Rimac.
Technology and Design
The concept is built on a carbon chassis with a T-shaped battery pack, which allows for a lower center of gravity and improved aerodynamics. The interior is focused on track performance: a minimalist digital display, AR projection on the windshield, and a screen on the yoke-style steering wheel.
“We wanted to create something that combines California style with a global outlook on the future,” noted Brian Smith, Director of Design at GM Advanced Design.
The concept’s dimensions (4,669 mm in length and only 1,051 mm in height) emphasize its low profile, and the 21-22 inch diameter wheels add aggressiveness. The next concept from another GM design studio promises even more surprises.
Although this project is not yet related to series production, it clearly shows where GM wants to take its legendary brand. The transition to electrification and experiments with aerodynamics could become the basis for future models, even if purists will long continue to nostalgize for the roar of the V8.
