With a strong focus on hybrids as a method for improving fuel economy, GM's Korean division has just revealed a stunning new hybrid sportscar concept at the Seoul Motor Show. Named the Chevrolet Miray concept, this roadster uses electrification to added power and fun, using a hybrid all-wheel drive drivetrain, with two electric motors attached to the front wheels, while a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder puts torque to the ground through the rears. No output numbers have been given for the gasoline engine, but Chevy has said the 15 kW electric motors make 20-hp each.

Storing electricity is a lithium-ion battery back, that can be recharged through regenerative braking. Plus, this hybrid sports car also gets a dual-clutch transmission.

The design for the car is supposedly inspired by cars like the 1963 Monza SS and the 1962 Corvair Super Spyder, although the look is decidedly modern.

The car is named Miray after the Korean word 'future' and was built not celebrate Chevy's centennial anniversary. One can only hope its a strong hit that GM is serious about building a hybrid sports car like this.

Why dont they build cars that look like this?

 

[Screechymon]

What would be a estimated price for that? And is the car included?

JK, I hope I didn't offend anyone, but really I didn't notice a price tag anywhere?

Btw, I bet those rims would look great on my Bu, well so would the ladies.

Wow, I just noticed there's a car AND a Chevy emblem, too!

Looks like the car has a big grin. So would I.

Pretty cool, it is different. But if GM produced it, it would be so diluted.

Idk about grin, I see a goofy smile. But the lines look cool, like how the Volt took some lines to look futuristic. Those wheels are nasty (the good kind)
