Overview

  • The Warren, Michigan advanced design studio unveiled the all-electric CX and hybrid CX.R at The Quail event during Monterey Car Week
  • The CX employs four wheel-mounted electric motors, a 90 kWh battery and built-in underbody fans to generate around 2,000 hp and active aerodynamic downforce
  • The CX.R pairs a 900 hp twin-turbo 2.0 liter V8 running on e-fuel with three electric motors for a combined output of roughly 2,000 hp in a race-focused hybrid package
  • Both concepts feature fighter-jet-style canopies, digital windscreens and steering-wheel-integrated controls designed to inspire future Corvette models
  • Observers have compared their claimed outputs to leaked 3,000 hp Chinese hypercar figures, highlighting an intensifying global performance arms race
