Chevy Project X Concept
The Chevy Project X is a concept car with more history than some countries. The ‘57 Chevy 210 was purchased by Motortrend’s Popular Hot Rodding magazine in 1965 for $250 and has been used as a testing guinea pig for various parts and components. The concept car is near and dear to many enthusiasts as Popular Hot Rodding opened the floor for people to write in their suggestions for modifications, creating a sense of community and ownership over the car among readers.
In the 57 years since, Project X has been outfitted with a series of powerful V8 engines, performance wheels, and suspension setups. Currently, Project X rides on a sixth-generation Corvette suspension that was installed in 2007, but the most daring new addition to the world’s most famous Tri-Five is a 340 horsepower electric motor to replace the previous supercharged LSX 376-B15 V8. Installed by Cagnazzi Racing, Project X’s new electric motor is the same motor that will appear in the forthcoming 2023

Lyriq.Chevrolet Off-Road Concept
Formerly known as the Chevy Beast, the Chevrolet Off-Road Concept looks like something humanity will use in our fight against armies of self-aware robots circa 3062 A.D. Built at the Milford Proving Grounds, the Off-Road Concept features five-link rear suspension, 37-inch off-road tires, and 91-inch track width, making it more than capable of traversing mountain and desert.
Unveiled at SEMA 2021, the Chevrolet Performance project boasts a plethora of high-end parts and custom components, including a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 Crate Engine and modified Silverado 1500 short bed chassis.
Chevrolet Suburban Street Concept
If the Chevy Suburban’s target demographic is hyperactive families, then the Suburban Street Concept’s target demo has to be hyperactive families of Secret Service members.
With a sleek, all-black design, the Street Concept is conspicuously inconspicuous, equally menacing and magnetic, and perfect for a night out or a stake-out. Aesthetic features include glossy black paint, a fresh new grille with Chevrolet script, black mirror caps, and black badging.
Performance-wise, the reimagined Suburban’s 6.2-liter V8 engine provides 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, while a Chevrolet Performance Brembo brake kit brings the stopping power. The Suburban’s four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension allows drivers to raise the suspension for better clearance or lower the suspension to make it easier for the President to get out.
Chevrolet E-10 Concept
The Chevy E-10 Concept ain’t your grandfather’s truck.
Actually, there’s a chance it could have been. The 1962 Chevy C-10 has been made over with dual eCrate motors powered by two Bolt EV 400-volt battery packs stored in the truck’s bed. The electric vehicle components found in the E-10 Concept are all currently in production and available in the Chevy Bolt EV.
And, boy, is it powerful. The 450-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive E-10 can go from 0 to 60 in five seconds.
The concept truck is also outfitted with a sound emulator and three speakers to mimic the roar of a traditional internal combustion engine. Drivers can toggle through a selection of engine sounds, including LS7 Camaro Z28 track tuning, LS7 Camaro Z28 touring tuning, V8 engine, or total silence.
Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll Concept
According to Chevy, the FNR-CarryAll Concept vehicle is a Camaro-inspired SUV, offering lean and muscular styling with all the comfort and amenities of modern-day sport-utes. While the split headlights and large air intakes do show flashes of Camaro, the CarryAll Concept most closely resembles a Chevy Blazer with a redesigned roof to allow for third-row seating.
Chevy isn’t really ready to talk about what’s under the hood of the CarryAll yet, but the interior features a panoramic sunroof, a 12-inch full-LCD dashboard, and a 10-inch touchscreen center console for second-row passengers. So far, the CarryAll has only been displayed in China.

What is the rarest concept car?
The rarest concept car may be the 1954 Oldsmobile F-88. Oldsmobile designed the F-88 to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette, but poor Corvette sales caused Oldsmobile to abandon the project. The only F-88 in existence sold for $3.2 million USD and is housed at the Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum.
Why are concept cars not for sale?
The reason concept cars are not for sale to the public is twofold. First, because they are built for show, they are often not fully functional. The second reason is that they are not necessarily safe or reliable, and so would pose too much of a liability risk.
