Chevrolet Corvette sports wagon.

Blasphemous? Maybe… But that wouldn’t be the first time ever. While the illustration on top shows what a 4 seater, modern Chevrolet Corvette wagon could look like, the idea isn’t new.

It dates back to the 1954 Chevrolet Nomad concept. Which was basically a family Corvette wagon designed by the great Harley Earl. Since there have been many ideas of what a wagon version of the Corvette could look like. Some kits in the 1960s were available. And even one a few years ago, based on the C8 Corvette.

So far, GM has kept the Chevrolet Corvette a 2-seater sports car with a V8. The biggest change is the current generation with its switch to a mid-engine design. However, there were a few rumors last year about GM coming up with a series of new Corvette models. Possible as part of a new Corvette family/sub-brand. And some model would even be based on GM’s Ultium platform.

This is basically what Porsche has been doing by opening up to SUVs, sedans, and even EVs. GM can see the numbers and dream of even larger profit margins.

Yes, a 4-seater Corvette wagon would be sacrilegeous to many. However, just like the new Porsche bodystyles, it could open up the brand to many new buyers who would not have considered a Corvette otherwise. And these “classic Corvette buyers” aren’t getting any younger.

Porsche still has the 911. More sports cars with a Corvette name could actually be quite interesting…

  7. Just abysmal looking. GM can’t design/ build a car that doesn’t have the same tired, insipid, boring, ugly, lackadasical, uninspired, and uninspiring appearance. There is absolutely nothing fresh or interesting here. As Bob Newhart once said: STOP IT! Enough with the overdesigned and hapless styling. Leave the goofball styling to Hyundai and Kia and put out some fresh new, clean and rich designs. As for that thing in the picture representing a Corvette…shameful.

  10. That is a cool looking wagon give it 500 to 600 hp and they would sell alot of them but not make it extremely heavy they are alot of people into wagons these days

  11. Ok, you’ve had your fun, now put the drawings and thoughts of having a Corvette station wagon back in the deepest, darkest, hole you can find!

  12. GM is a biz.. not a church of lost “worshipers of the “vette”. A brave and intelligent way of expanding market share and would add another 7 to 10 years to the vette model that WILL NOT last forever. Use yur heads children.

  15. Shooting brake? More like shooting left foot then the right. Once the thing went mid-, it ceased being a ‘Vette

  17. No sir, bad idea. Won’t sell and never met to be .Ugly why o why would you even post this.

  20. They need to make a Corvette like the Porsche. Panamara, they would make a killing.
    But lay off the goofy tail lights keep it simple, like it used to be in a circle

  23. So, it is possible to build a super stylist Corvette SUV without insulting loyalist and fans Ferrari did a fantastic example. I would bet customers of the Urus, the Purosangue, DBS, etc , would gladly choose the Corvette , or consider it as an option.

  24. mustang mach e hatchback is out selling the mustang there may make money on this but a corvette is a roadster not a lamborghini haven’t made a roadster since 1981 and every corvette since 1961 had round taillights they are losing tradition
