Official C9 Corvette CX Concept and CX.R Race Concept will be at the show March 25–27

Vancouver, B.C. – The 2026 Vancouver International Auto Show will welcome two of the most exclusive and talked-about Corvette concept vehicles in the world: the official C9 Corvette CX Concept and the CX.R race concept from Chevrolet.

Making their first-ever appearance in Canada, the Corvette CX and the track-focused CX.R will be on display for a limited engagement, Wednesday through Friday only (March 25 to 27).

The Corvette CX Concept represents the next evolutionary vision of the legendary Corvette nameplate. As the official C9 concept study, the CX signals the future direction of Chevrolet’s halo performance platform, blending dramatic proportions, advanced aerodynamics, lightweight materials, and cutting-edge performance engineering. Concept vehicles of this calibre are rarely displayed outside of global auto show circuits, making its Canadian debut a landmark moment for enthusiasts.

Joining it is the Corvette CX.R, the aggressive, competition-inspired counterpart distinguished by its prominent rear wing and track-ready stance. Finished in striking yellow, the CX.R embodies Corvette’s racing DNA and previews how next-generation Corvette architecture could translate into motorsport dominance. With extreme aerodynamic detailing, race-focused engineering, and unmistakable presence, the CX.R underscores Chevrolet’s commitment to performance innovation at the highest level.

Both vehicles represent rare concept studies that have never been shown in Canada. Their appearance at VIAS26 offers Western Canadian audiences an unprecedented opportunity to experience the future of Corvette design and engineering up close, a privilege typically reserved for select global unveilings.

With two next-generation Corvette concepts under one roof, and for a strictly limited three-day window, this showcase adds another extraordinary highlight to VIAS26. For collectors, performance enthusiasts, and lifelong Corvette fans, this is a cannot-miss moment.

The Corvette CX and CX.R will be on display Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday only.
