Zora Coupe - Corvette concept

sketchfab

Back in 1992, well before I went to Design school, a younger me did a rendering of a car dubbed the “Zora Speedster”. I cherish this old rendering because it is signed by the famed “Father of the Corvette” - Zora Arkus-Duntov. Though the drawing was the best I could do at the time, it didn’t age well. This Coupe concept builds off the original Zora Speedster here: https://skfb.ly/6TMA6 Having a proper roof makes it driveable in more climates, and I’ve interpreted the split rear window in a different way. A clear gap allows for rear visibility, flanked on either side by algorithmically generated 3D printed metal roof supports. I revised the front end a touch, added some hood vents and also adjusted some of the surfaces at the tail end to better match the newly added greenhouse.
