Fireblade Concept – The New 2009 Corvette ZR1
It’s hard not to like the New Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Any time you take a standard Corvette, give it more power, lighter weight, bigger brakes and a better suspension, our supercar-loving hearts start thumping right out of our chest.
It’s the Bat-Corvette, its the Corvette Reventon! NO! Its called The Fireblade Design Concept, which is basically a re-skinning of the already potentially iconic Corvette ZR1 by South African designer Idries Noah.
Now, currently, this is nothing more than a 3-D dream car, but it’s still making at least one of us feel that pants-tightening excitement we haven’t felt since the first time we spotted the ZR1 in an embargoed press event around the time of the last Detroit Auto Show.

The idea for the FireBlade was to “reflect raw power” and to “be a brute, a car that has muscle car qualities”, according to designer Noah. Inspired on such mythical vehicles like the Shelby Daytona and Corvette Stingray, the FireBlade would have a promising career if it ever had the chance to see the production lines.
