the third Corvette concept in the CERV (Chevrolet Experimental
Racing Vehicle) line. The car first went on display at
the 1990 Detroit Motor Show where it showcased some of
GM's most advanced automotive technology at the time.

twin-turbocharged, 5.7 litre V8 which developed 650 horsepower.

a RWD platform, the CERV III concept was equipped with
an all-wheel-drive six-speed transmission. It was also
fitted with an advanced 4-wheel-steering system. The curvaceous
bodywork was formed from lightweight carbon fibre and
fibre glass.
Inside the Corvette CERV III concept Chevrolet fitted
state of the art electronics including CRT screens in
the dash, computer controlled active suspension, ABS brakes
(with two calipers on each brake disc) and traction control.
