After being spied numerous time on set, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen star ‘Sideswipe’ makes his official debut at the Chigago Auto Show as the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept.
The Corvette Stingray Concept is heavily influenced by the original Corvette Stingray race car of 1959 as well as borrowing inspiration from other Corvette models over the years. GM remains coy about the role the Stingray Concept will play in the styling direction of future ‘Vettes.
“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.”
Joining Sideswipe on the GM stand at Chigago will be Jolt, played by the Chevrolet Volt as well as Skids and Mudflap, the Chevrolet Beat and Trax.

Dear Lord. The design of the rear is just awesome.
Gotta love Retrofuturism in car designs.
J.Mays did it with the Ford GT, the Mustang and also the Shelby GR-1 concept. Why can’t more manufacturers go down this path for their halo cars. A little nostalgia never hurts.
This car’s rear reminds me a lot of the GT by Citroen concept car in many ways. Nice quad exhausts and hidden lights.
The front of it looks like it just wants to eat you!!
Quad exhausts are a nice touch, but im not sure if the split window really lends itself to the design of the front
Looks like its a front and a back designed in totally different areas then melded together
Hot nonetheless!!
its more like batmans’ car than an autobot…I always hoped Sideswipe kept the lambo way from Contach to a Reventon.
