Visitors to the Chevrolet display at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show were treated to an out-of-this-world vehicle display - the automotive stars from the DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures release, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. "Five Chevrolet-based characters - including four all-new characters - are featured in the new film set to open in the United States on June 26. All of them are at the Chevrolet display. Among the four new movie characters is Sideswipe - a stylized Corvette vision concept vehicle. Sideswipe takes the form of a sleek, vision concept dreamed up by the Corvette designers at GM. The design is influenced by the original Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, but also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generations. It brings them together in a futuristic shape that seems to be equal parts racecar and space ship. "Sideswipe represents an exercise in exploration for the Corvette," said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. "By giving my creative team the freedom to design no-holds-barred vision concepts, it helps them push boundaries and look at projects from different perspectives."
