GM has
unveiled the Corvette Stingray Concept, the
one-off dream car inspired by the 1959 Stingray
race car and the Corvette heritage that will be
featured in the upcoming summer blockbuster
movie Transformers II.
At the 2009 Chicago Auto Show
GM has unveiled the Corvette Stingray Concept,
already previewed in the past months under the
name of "Vision Concept" and "Centennial
Concept".
The car will be among the
characters of the upcoming "Transformers II:
Revenge of the Fallen", where it will "act" as
the four-wheels counterpart of Sideswipe.
The sleek concept was
"dreamed up" by the Corvette designers at GM,
who were influenced by the original Stingray
race car, introduced in 1959.
The Concept also draws on
Corvette heritage cues from other generations
and brings them together in a futuristic shape
that "seems to be equal parts racecar and space
ship".
“SIDESWIPE represents an
exercise in exploration for the Corvette,” said
Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design.
“By giving my creative
team the freedom to design no-holds-barred
vision concepts, it helps them push boundaries
and look at projects from different
perspectives.”
