    The Cerv3 is the best looking. It resembles the Jaguar XJ220.

      nah nah mate, as the CERVIII Corvette predates it, it is the other way around, and the xj220 resembles the CERVIII Corvette. :)

    Great video! Corvette should have had a mid engine super car option form the '60s onward like Duntov was pushing for. The only thing that's a no go for me about the C8 now that they finally went mid engine is no h shift option. Autos (DCT really) are nice for a daily driven car or if going for ultimate lap times but definitely takes away from the fun factor.

    I would have loved to have seen the CERV 3 in production. If it was going to be a $100k+ car we wouldn't have seen very many of them.
    It's too bad they couldn't build it today, I think it's much more exciting design than what they are going to do.
    A Corvette without flip up headlights, doesn't feel right. But to paraphrase Jay Leno, you want pedestrians to be smiling when you run into them. Damn regulations, takes the fun out of everything.

      A CORVETTE WITHOUT THE SIGNITURE ROUND TAIL LIGHTS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. CHEVY HAS SO MANY DESIGN CLUES THAT MADE THEM IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE THAT THEY JUST ABANDONED. FOR EXAMPLE IMPALA'S TRIPLE TAIL LIGHT TREATMENT WAS UNIQUE IN THE INDUSTRY, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE LIMITED PRODUCTION KOENIGSEGG CCX. OH WELL.

    @dclipper8052 Рік тому

    By switching it to the LT1 or LS1 and ditching the all wheel drive and steering, they could have dropped probably 400 lbs. minimum and a bunch of complexity from the car. Perhaps this could have made it a viable option for production.
