The Car Design News LA Forum 2019 was topped off with the Car Design Night, during which the lead designers of the Corvette held an exclusive walk around of the new model. Tristan Murphy, Lead Interior Designer and Vlad Kapitonov, Lead Exterior Designer, outlined some of the primary features of the company’s first hardtop mid-engined convertible Corvette in its 66-year history.
The focus for the interior, as Murphy explains, is on premium materials. The new Corvette ditches cheap plastics for composites and faux leather for the real deal. ”We wanted to make sure that the [user] experience is reinforced with this idea that everything has been thought about and designed with real materials across the board,” he says.
