Peter Brock was a 19 year old designer when he started in the studio who drew up a concept for the new car. In his talk he cites Bill MItchell's trip to Italy in the late '50's, and the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante as a major inspiration. See from 21:00 on of his talk.

That is one really beautiful Alfa. Amazing designers of that time period at GM, from Harley Earl, Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock.2023 Z06: Elkhart Lake Blue, 2-tone blue interior, HTC, Standard Z06 with Z07 aero pkg, CCB’s, 3LZ, E60, every visible carbon fiber option including wheels, Jake Design Pkg.
