With General Motors making a major pivot towards all-electric vehicles and autonomous vehicle technology, the automaker is also revamping its design work, even unveiling a new corporate logo to coincide with the refocus. Naturally, The General’s future vehicles will also reflect this watershed moment with a slew of new styling cues, as evidenced by the following Chevy sports car concept sketches.
Recently posted to the official GM Design Instagram feed (@generalmotorsdesign), these Chevy sports car concepts looks like they are straight out of a sci-fi movie. The proportions are impossibly low and wide, with streamlined body panels marked by flowing lines and rounded curves.
Although these Chevy sport car sketches are focused on the rear three quarters view, they definitely have the right stuff to grab our attention. The concepts’ voluminous fenders house equally large wheels, which fill the space in a concave design and a smear of rubber around the perimeter.
The two sketches appear to be two different vehicles, with one of the concepts bearing a cab-back profile and extended hood line, while the other concept gets more even, mid-engine proportions. Both, however, sport horizontal lighting in the tail, as well as a prominent diffuser element lower in the bumper.
Although GM Design declines to specify what the sketches are intended to inspire, they are clearly representative of some futuristic Chevy sports car, given the Bow Tie badging seen on the tail of both sketches. Furthermore, one of the sketches can be seen with the word “Chevrolet E Vette” around the outer rim of of the wheels, providing further insight.
Naturally, vehicles like this aren’t destined for the production line, and are merely used to light the way forward for designers. However, judging by concepts like this, it’s safe to say that the Chevy sports car future looks bright, regardless of what’s under the hood.

EV will make it more possible to do some radical things in the future. The gear head in me is sad but the optimistic side of me is watching with great interest.
This looks like a Renault trezor. Hopefully this has a motor larger than 1liter.
Impala?, maybe Camaro?.
Don’t restrict to old Chevrolet names when GM has a great collection of nameplates from Olds and Pontiac that will sound fresher than Impala to younger demos while still pleasing Boomers.
I’d like seeing a Cutlass or Bonneville. Maybe a Gran Prix.
Both Brands are dead and gone, why would you use those names on a Chevrolet? That’s like calling a Ford Maverick a pickup when you know it was a car. Call it El Camino if you going to do that
Thanks to obama.
Thanks to years of GM mismanagement transforming Pontiac into a plastic clad ‘excitment brand’. Olds was never gone long before Obama!
Blaming Obama for saving GM is ridiculous. Did you want a G6 or Vibe? Did friends? You are a Boomer Boomer feeling left behind blaming others
This concept car will never be built because it simply looks too good and GM CEO Mary Barra would never give the green light for such a car even if it is developed to replace the Camaro.
So you think the CEO of a company makes all the decisions on their own. It sounds like you hate that the GM CEO is a woman.
I don’t think anyone cares it is a woman but a woman hell bent on helping China destroy the USA manufacturing base is out of the question. Supplying your enemy with technology and Manufacturing knowledge ain’t too bright once you understand Communism isn’t your friend and that’s a fact.
I think you missed my point. Corporations aren’t run by one person.
Where’s this barking for Ford and Tesla for their Chinese operations?. Can you name a company that’s not doing business there?. If anything blame greedy ’90s politics for seting up shop there..
Does being a woman make her more qualified than a man?
Reminds me a bit of the 2003 Chevy SS Concept.
Now you can design more freely due to not having worry for setting enough space for the big engine and transmission compartments.
A possible concept design for the 7th Generation Camaro to be built more than likely, just my personal guest, with many of it’s cars being taken out of production, it appears that GM would not putting any additional unknown cars into it’s portfolio due to it’s primary focus on Trucks, Crossover’s, SUV’s, a recently introduced Electric Van and new Drone Human Transport Vehicle from Cadillac.
In other news, GM is re-designing humans to fit in the totally impractical designs ….
Since everyone was just complaining about visibility on the Camaro, GM just decided to remove the windows all together…….
Nice ride. If you’ve got a 100.000 grand!
Just what “gm” needs, another car with no visibility or trunk. They need to get some older artists in the design room.
Kinda like that bow-tie design.
