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. Unusually
for a Corvette, which have traditionally used 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.
