This looks superbly retro.
Electricity is good for performance. We know this because we ve been told that the Corvette E-Ray will be even quicker than the Z06 version. As much as that may bother V8-loving hordes of Corvette, the day will eventually come when even the famous Stingray badge will refer to an electric sports car.
We ve considered some design possibilities of what the Vette could look like if approached from a totally unique angle, but this is more than just a flight of fancy. Eventually, the skateboard architecture that most EVs use will mean that building a unique body atop the chassis shouldn t be very difficult. So what if Chevrolet looks to the past for inspiration one day? Former Toyota designer Craig Kember shows us how such a machine could look.

After all, this design also seems to borrow from that of the C3 Corvette, a classic that looked absolutely spectacular while retaining its American-ness . Bai s caption on the post mentions that his vision for this design was to pen what the Corvette might look like if there was less focus on increasing raw power and more interest in improving overall luxury and quality.
And considering how many electric cars are being released, ones that outperform traditional sports cars in almost every acceleration scenario, we can t help but think that a greater focus on making a good car rather than a powerful one could serve the Corvette nameplate well.
