[Auto/Moto] The Corvette will no longer be unique: a 4-door and an SUV will arrive in 2025

he real news is that the classic V8 Corvette small block, the greatest symbol of American automotive engineering in the world, was not chosen for both cars , but will be powered by electric propulsion. Despite this novelty, the strong Corvette DNA will be externalized by the design, performance and driveability which must be completely similar to the coupé petrol version.

The idea of focusing on these new car segments comes from the previous experiences of Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Maserati, which demonstrate that there are large profit margins even on these high-wheeled models and not just on sports cars and how, thanks to a strategic positioning of the brand, it is possible to find customers even in these segments never explored before.

To date there is little technical news, however it seems that the mechanical package includes high energy density battery modules , a new recently patented cooling concept, ultra-efficient inverters, combined high performance electric motors and battery voltage at 800 Volt that allows a charging power of up to 350 kW, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring. Thanks to a delicate balance between functionality, design and performance, perhaps initially we are talking about a limited number of specimens, to increase desirability, a bit like Ferrari did with the Purosangue. A rosy future in terms of sales and profit is expected for both of these models, but our question is: will they really be Corvettes? In my heart I have given myself an answer. And you
