The Chevrolet Corvette is a rear wheel drive road car, with its engine mounted in the front, and a 2 door convertible/cabriolet body.
The Corvette forms part of Chevrolet's 867 range of cars.
Power is supplied by an overhead valve, 4.6 litre naturally aspirated 8 cylinder engine, with 2 valves per cylinder that produces power and torque figures of 245 bhp (248 PS/183 kW) at 5000 rpm and 407 N·m (300 lb·ft/41.5 kgm) at 3800 rpm respectively.
