The Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in the early 1950s. Although it was built with a straight-six engine and two-speed automatic transmission, the new car lacked serious sports-car credentials. Chevrolet fixed this in 1955 with a 4.3-litre V8 engine and three-speed manual transmission. The power rose with the second generation's big-block V8 engine, putting out as much as 560 horsepower until changing emissions regulations spoiled the party and caused horsepower figures to drop across the board.
America's sports car
Things began to turn around with the fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. This model boasted a V8 engine producing 375 horsepower and upgrades galore. The fifth generation debuted in 1997 with a longer wheelbase and wider frame, which provided more interior space and improved handling. The sixth generation debuted in 2004 with the supercharged ZR-1. Its 638-horsepower engine was capable of pushing to 205 miles per hour. And with the seventh generation's all-new aluminum frame, the power was again increased. Most recently, the Chevrolet Corvette was given the mid-engine layout enthusiasts have been wanting for decades, further boosting its performance.
