1986 Chevrolet Corvette Indy concept

Two versions exist: A fully functional model (1,3,7,9 slides) and a fiberglass full-size model. The car features a mid-engined 5.7 Liter 32-Valve DOHC V-8, 4-wheel drive 4-wheel steering, electronic/hydraulic active suspension, anti-lock brakes, computer traction control, electronic accelerator control, and CRT displays. At the time it's only purpose was to be a showcase for the newly developed Ilmor/ Chevrolet Indy racing engine. In fact it was the first result of a partnership between Chevrolet engineers and the British F1 team and sportscar manufacturer Lotus. Even though the mid-engined Indy Concept shown to the public was nothing more than a full scale mock-up, work was under way to build the first fully functioning car back in England. The mid-engine Indy Corvette was created to examine and develop advanced technology for systems and components for future Chevrolet vehicles.
