After December 2023, everything is different in the field of American pony and muscle cars. That's because the Dodge Charger sedan, Challenger coupe, and the Chevy Camaro coupe and Convertible are no more – and the S650 seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang is the last one standing and keeping the banner alive.
Surely enough, Dodge will return to the segment in a novel kind of EV way – the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona with the Fratzog logo and no exhaust tips is intensely teased and slated to arrive late this year, probably with fully electric powertrains under the hood. The rumor mill also believes that 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six turbos are in store for the regular Charger, which will revert to a two-door fastback coupe lifestyle.

How about Chevrolet? Well, the company is now free of the low-selling Camaro and only has the affordable Malibu mid-size sedan and the C8 Corvette series to worry about. Naturally, most people would love to see the Detroit automaker focus on the latter – and the GM subsidiary is preparing to unleash the C8 Corvette ZR1 plus an alleged Zora hypercar pushing the boundary of hybridization past the 1,000-hp threshold.

What about full EVs? Chevrolet is currently trying to form a novel Ultium-based family, but problems have delayed the anticipated launches of the Equinox EV, Blazer EV, and Silverado EV RST, with only the Silverado EV WT available in limited quantities. Also, it needs to focus on developing the next-generation Bolt EV because that's the bread and butter. Past that, it might also try its hand with a fully electric Corvette.

Well, according to the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, that Corvette EV might also come in the body form of a sleek four-door sedan – after all, the brand is missing a sporty element in that department. The Halo oto channel on YouTube provides fresh automotive info corroborated with their virtual designs; now, there are some new CGI ideas about that Corvette EV sedan.

The four-door borrows many cues from the Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado EVs to implement the front design, but further from that, it's absolutely different from anything on offer by Chevrolet in the real world. That's not necessarily a bad thing because the Corvette RS EV saloon feels modern, sleek, and decidedly sporty in the unofficial design project by the channel's resident pixel master.

As for the powertrain, we can easily imagine the choice of BEV3 platform, Ultium technology, Ultify software, and maybe a tweaked setup from the Blazer SS EV to warrant its Corvette RS EV moniker – around 600 hp instead of 557 ponies would be more than enough to make a four-door statement against the Tesla Model S or Porsche Taycan Turbo S, at least initially. After that, of course, they can also think about Plaid and Sapphire-beating ideas, right?
