Chevrolet Corvettes That Didn't Make It
In the mid-'80s, Chevrolet put its name on Ilmor's 2.65-liter turbocharged V-8 and went CART racing. To commemorate the occasion, GM design VP Chuck Jordan commissioned this Corvette Indy concept car. Built in Italy and powered by a turbocharged 650-horse--you guessed it--Chevy Indy V8, the Corvette Indy had little to do with a present or future Corvette. The car was built in 1985, when long, low, mid-engine exotics like the Countach and Testarossa were king.
