While it may only seem like yesterday since the C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette was introduced to much fanfare, it’s actually been four years since it was first showcased and development of its successor is no doubt underway. Could it look a little like this?

The striking sketch was created by Dylan Schmidt, a Creative Designer at General Motors Advanced Design studio, and was recently shared on the GM Design Instagram page. The sketch depicts a captivating mid-engined supercar that takes the design cues of the C8 Corvette and catapults them into a futuristic realm. It’s radical, bold, and extremely eye-catching.

The front end of the car in this sketch has a pronounced front splitter as well as sharp LED headlights neatly incorporated into the bodywork. The hood then takes on a particularly aggressive shape and includes an element that protrudes over the windshield, giving it an interesting split design and definitely adding to the futuristic shape. We’re not sure how practical such a design would be for production but it would definitely make the car stand out from its rivals.

Elsewhere, you’ll notice that the supercar has sharp wing mirrors and flared rear wheel arches. It also appears that the rear track of the car is significantly wider than the front but this could be due to the perspective of the sketch. Unfortunately, GM designer Dylan Schmidt who created this sketch hasn’t shown what it could look like from the rear.

General Motors has also published a second sketch on Instagram by another one of its designers, Jihoon Kim, that also caught our attention. In this case, we can see a very sleek Buick crossover that could be an excellent addition to the company’s range. It is only shown from the rear but we can see it sports a full-width LED light bar, a shapely rear fascia, a spoiler stretching off from the roof, and particularly sleek C-pillars.
