In 1957, GM designer Peter Brock, under the direction of Bill Mitchell at GM Styling, contributed to one of the most iconic automotive designs: the 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe. Known for its timeless appeal, Brock’s design remains one of the most celebrated creations of the Mitchell era. Today, 67 years later, Brock is back—refining his original vision for the 2024 SEMA Show with a reimagined “Studio Concept” version of the split window. “There were details that never made it to production,” Brock explains. “This year, I’ve taken the classic form and enhanced it, capturing elements from my original 1957 sketches.”
This factory “Split Window” Studio Concept stays true to the Split Window’s legacy while introducing bold yet subtle refinements, intriguing enthusiasts with each curve. The design integrates an elegant re-styling paired with a completely modernized chassis, C7 suspension and braking system. Under the hood lies a [...]

Chevrolet just dropped a full video of the 2025 Corvette ZR1 hitting an average of 233 MPH at the ATP track in Papenburg, Germany. Behind the wheel was GM President Mark Reuss, who credited the car’s engineering and preparation for the impressive run. Reuss kept the ZR1 in Sport Mode, pushing it to the 8,000 RPM redline in 6th gear.
The two-direction top-speed run clocked in at 233.08 MPH and 233.50 MPH, averaging 233 MPH. Chevrolet proudly claims it’s the fastest production car under $1 million, achieved with a standard ZR1—no special modifications, just the stock chassis, aero package, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
“Setting this record was a surreal experience,” Reuss said. “The mid-engine design made this possible, and it’s a true testament to the ZR1’s power and the incredible team behind it.”
