While Chevrolet’s current C8 Corvette lineup continues to expand with increasingly powerful factory models, some automotive creators are choosing to explore a different path by reimagining older generations through modern design and performance lenses. One such example comes from a new digital concept centered on the C6 Chevrolet Corvette, produced entirely as a hypothetical restomod.
The concept was created by Andreas Wennevold, a virtual automotive artist known online for blending classic American performance cars with exaggerated modern elements. His latest project envisions an extreme, Gymkhana-inspired version of the C6 Corvette, which was produced from 2005 through 2013. The design abandons restraint in favor of aggressive proportions, dramatic aerodynamics, and visual callbacks to earlier Corvette generations.
At first glance, the concept features a white widebody configuration paired with pop-up-style headlights and extensive active aerodynamic components. The design incorporates a C4-inspired clamshell hood and a sharper front-end profile influenced by the C3 Corvette. One of the most distinctive elements is a modern interpretation of the C2 split-window design, repurposed to channel air toward a rear-mounted radiator rather than serving as a purely stylistic feature.
Additional inspiration comes from recent Gymkhana builds, including a Subaru BRAT known for its unconventional aero solutions. That influence appears in the Corvette’s pop-up rear wing, which extends outward along the body sides, reinforcing the concept’s track-focused identity.
Beyond its appearance, the digital build imagines performance that would rival or exceed modern hypercar standards. The concept assigns more than 1,500 horsepower to the C6 platform, with power delivered to all four wheels rather than the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout associated with the model. This specification positions the concept as a symbolic challenge to Chevrolet’s most powerful production Corvettes, including the C8 ZR1X.
Although the project exists solely in the digital realm, Wennevold has previously seen some of his designs transition into physical builds. One such example includes a carbon-fiber widebody 1968 Chevrolet Camaro created for drifting and showcased at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
For now, the C6 Corvette restomod remains a virtual exercise, but it highlights how digital creators continue to push the boundaries of automotive design by merging heritage styling with extreme, modern performance concepts.
