GM’s SoCal Corvette Concept is a Wild Electric Dream That Could Become Reality
General Motors has introduced a vibrant Corvette concept from their Advanced Design studio in Pasadena, California, delivering an electric-driven masterpiece that redefines the Corvette’s legacy with cutting-edge performance.
This is the second of three Corvette design studies GM is releasing in 2025, following a UK studio’s effort earlier this year. The Pasadena team was given free rein to reimagine the Corvette. They delivered. 182.5 inches long, 86 inches wide, 41.4 inches tall – it’s longer and wider than the C8 and lower, and pure performance.

Look closer and the design demands attention. Its mid-engine proportions resemble a Koenigsegg Jesko or Rimac Nevera, fusing aerodynamics and aggression. The front bumper is C8 but with an F1-inspired carbon fiber wing and razor-sharp LED headlights. Air channels along the sides feed a massive rear diffuser, an active spoiler and air brake like Bugatti’s exotics.
The canopy is the showstopper. A single front-hinged glass panel opens to reveal a cockpit that’s racecar precise and fighter jet intense. Inside, a streamlined digital dash, an augmented-reality head-up display and a yoke-style steering wheel with an integrated screen puts the driving experience first. It’s a space that feels ready for launch, not a playlist.
Underneath the skin, innovation drives the concept. A carbon fiber tub keeps weight low, a T-shaped prismatic battery pack powers the fully electric drivetrain. Optimized for airflow and a low seat height, this is a car designed for the track, not a Sunday cruise. GM won’t release performance specs but the setup is a car built to dominate the circuits.
Brian Smith, design director at the Pasadena studio, calls it a study in duality – a road car one moment, an open-air track monster the next, thanks to the removable canopy. It’s California sun-kissed but global, heritage but forward-thinking, Corvette’s past but its future.
The Pasadena studio, a 148,000 sq. ft. creative space within GM’s global design network, is where this was born. A total of 130 designers, sculptors and fabricators worked on this concept, giving us a glimpse into GM’s plans from Detroit to Seoul. A third concept later this year from another studio will be yet another Corvette future.
