Chevrolet Corvette CX concept shocks with 2,00hp all-electric setup

Six years on from the first mid-engined Corvette, Chevy still isn’t done pushing boundaries.

There’ve already been hybrids, track monsters, and record-smashers.

Now comes something different. A concept that feels like the future of America’s sports car.

And this concept car comes with a number so absurd it makes Bugattis look tame: 2,000hp.

What makes the Corvette CX Concept such a shock?

Chevy pulled the covers at Monterey Car Week, dropping not one but two futuristic Corvettes: the CX and the CX.R Vision Gran Turismo. 

Both look like they belong in a video game – fitting, since virtual versions are headed to Gran Turismo 7.

The headline car is the CX Concept Car, a fully electric monster packing four motors and a 90-kWh lithium-ion battery. 

And what’s even more impressive – it makes an unfathomable 2,000hp. 

That’s not just quick, that’s face-melting acceleration paired with all-wheel drive grip.

Alongside it sits the CX.R, a hybrid concept car with a very different recipe. 

Instead of ditching gas entirely, it uses a tiny twin-turbo 2.0-liter V8 that revs to a motorcycle-like 15,000rpm. 

Add electric motors, and the combined output also lands at a wild 2,000hp. 

For comparison, today’s Corvette ZR1 runs a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 making 1,064hp. 

Of course, the design is as radical as the numbers. 

The CX uses an opening cockpit canopy instead of conventional doors, plus a vacuum fan system that literally sucks the car to the road for more downforce. 

Inside, it’s all carbon fiber, milled aluminum, and suede –  sharp, stripped back, unapologetically modern.

So what does this mean for Corvette’s future?

Chevy insists the CX and CX.R are pure concepts, designed to stretch imaginations.

But history says concept DNA often trickles into production. 

The sleek windshield lines, the active aero experiments, the cabin finishes – all of it could feed directly into the next-gen Corvette.

More interesting is the powertrain split. 

One all-electric. One hybrid with a screaming V8. 

Taken together, they signal a Corvette family that could branch in two directions  – one rooted in gas tradition, the other fully electric. 

That would mirror today’s lineup, where the hybrid E-Ray shares space with the naturally aspirated Z06.

For now, nothing is confirmed. 

But when Chevy starts casually showing off 2,000hp concepts, you know the production cars won’t stay tame for long.

These Corvettes might never hit the streets, but the idea alone keeps Chevy’s legend charging ahead.
