GM has unveiled the Corvette Stingray Concept, the one-off dream car inspired by the 1959 Stingray race car and the Corvette heritage that will be featured in the upcoming summer blockbuster movie Transformers II.
General Motors used the Chicago Auto Show to introduce the world to its latest concept vehicle, the Corvette Stingray, which will be featured in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie on June 26th. According to GM, the vehicle is nothing more than a styling buck that was influenced by the original 1959 Stingray racer when it was spotted by director Michael Bay while he was touring GM’s operations looking for inspiration for the first Transformers movie. Don’t expect this concept to spawn any sort of production vehicle, which, needless to say, is a shame.
In robot mode, the Corvette Stingray Concept will take the form of Sideswipe, who will reportedly be a skater with wheels for feet. The General doesn’t have anything in the way of new product to show off here in Chicago, so it’s using the blockbuster movie to drum up interest instead. It’s working... sorta.
SIDESWIPE takes the form of a sleek, vision concept dreamed up by the Corvette designers at GM. The design is influenced by the original Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, but also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generations. It brings them together in a futuristic shape that seems to be equal parts racecar and space ship.
“SIDESWIPE represents an exercise in exploration for the Corvette,” said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. “By giving my creative team the freedom to design no-holds-barred vision concepts, it helps them push boundaries and look at projects from different perspectives.”
В General Motors решили воспользоваться автосалоном в Чикаго, чтобы представить миру свой последний концепт под названием Corvette Stingray, принимавший участие в съемках фильма "Трансформеры: Месть павших", выход которого в прокат запланирован на 26-е июня. Как подчеркивают представители GM, данный автомобиль – всего лишь дизайнерская безделушка, чей облик создан под впечатлением от гоночного Stingray образца 1959 года. Запуск концепта в серию не планируется.
Добавим, что на этот раз GM не привез в Чикаго ничего особенного нового, в связи с чем, похоже, и решил привлечь к себе дополнительное внимание упоминанием своей роли в создании будущего блокбастера. Надо отметить, что этот прием сработал.
