Three Corvette concepts at SEMA 2013

Chevrolet is displaying three Corvette Stingray concepts at this year's SEMA show, which is currently running in Las Vegas.

The first is the convertible-based Atlantic. Featuring a front splitter, extended side skirts and a rear diffuser, its exterior look is completed by chrome five-spoke wheels and a Fusion Gray finish for the headlight housings and bonnet centre section. Brown suede upholstery provides an attractive contrast to the bodywork's Blade Silver paintjob.

Continuing the ocean naming theme is the motorsport-inspired Pacific coupé, which is fitted with the Z51 Performance Package and a uniquely calibrated seven-speed manual gearbox. Its list of additional special parts includes satin black wheels, a carbon fibre bonnet, sports seats, sill extensions and a front splitter.

The final member of this trio is the Gran Turismo concept. A real-life homage to a Corvette Stingray that'll be appearing in the sixth instalment of the PlayStation game, it's equipped with competition seats, full race harnesses and a flat-bottom steering wheel. On the outside the bonnet, front grille and air vents are all custom, while the splitter, rear spoiler and sill extensions are made from carbon fibre.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
