The Chevrolet Corvette was conceived in the early 1950s to reverse diminishing Chevrolet sales. With a straight-six engine and two-speed automatic transmission nestled beneath its fibreglass bodywork, the Chevrolet Corvette lacked serious sports car credentials. This was remedied in 1955 with a 4.3-litre V8 engine and three-speed manual transmission. Power continued to rise with the second generation's big-block V8 putting out as much as 560 horsepower. Like all vehicles, the Chevrolet Corvette was throttled by emissions regulations with the most powerful V8 of the third generation, making just 275 horsepower.
Let the burnouts roll
Power began to rise with the all-new fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1's V8, producing 375 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette debuted in 1997 with a longer wheelbase, giving more interior space and improving handling stability. The sixth generation arrived in 2004 with the supercharged ZR-1 capable of a top speed of 205 mph. America's sports car received an all-new aluminum frame for its seventh generation. Most recently, the Chevrolet Corvette was given a mid-engined layout like cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini, coming very close to their performance for a fraction of the price.
