Forgotten Wonders - CERV III Corvette

1990. 650 Horsepower. No comment. 

The Corporate Engineering Research Vehicle III
was first unveiled in Detroit Automobile Show in January 1986 as the Corvette Indy prototype car. The vehicle featured 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering, and CRT cockpit screens. The vehicle was styled by Chief of Chevy III Studio, Jerry Palmer. In January 1990, CERV III made its debut at the International Auto Show in Detroit. This prototype pushed all known limits.The performance machine's mid-engine V-8 is a 5.7-liter 32-valve, dual-overhead cam LT5, with twin turbos and internal modifications, giving it 650 hp (485 kW), 655 lb·ft (888 N·m)- torque, and a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h). This super-performance sports car was made of carbon fiber with a fiberglass-finish coating, with estimated price of $300k-400k. Other standard features include computer-controlled active suspension system, (theoretically, once the computer sensed a bump, the car could even lift a wheel and tire over a bump in a road.) ABS braking and traction control (the braking system used carbon fiber brake pads and rotors. The calipers were inside each rotor), six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel-drive and four-wheel steering. The doorsills held the fuel cell gas tanks with a combined capacity of 23.3 gallons.
