In 1983, the fourth model generation of the Chevrolet Corvette debuted. Compared to the predecessor C3, the developers of the C4 ensured a much better handling by shifting the engine back towards the bulkhead. In addition, a wider transmission tunnel gave the entire vehicle greater torsional rigidity. Under the hood, the choice was reduced to a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. Initially, it was still the L83 engine from the C3, and from 1985 finally a new powerplant (L98) with the same displacement and 230 instead of 205 hp. By 1992, this figure had risen to 240 hp. Then the LT1 engine replaced the L98 and raised output to 306 hp. For the final 1996 model year, Chevrolet installed the LT4 V8 engine with 330 hp in all manual Corvette C4s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European design on the Corvette C4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visually, the C4 departed significantly from its predecessors. The C2 and C3 featured a comparatively similar design. The C4, on the other hand, was clearly in line with the European zeitgeist of the 1980s with its edgy styling. From the shallowly hidden pop-up headlights at the front to the four round taillights below the clear tear-off edge, the car won over many sports car fans worldwide. A facelift in 1990 first provided a revised cockpit with a driver-oriented dashboard and, a few months later, modifications to the bodywork. In the rounded front bumper, the turn signals and position lights now ran around the corner, while the taillights changed from round to almost square. These changes were already anticipated in 1989 by the new top version ZR-1 with initially 385, later even 411 hp. After a total of 6,939 units, production of the ZR-1 ended in 1995. For the final model year of the C4, Chevrolet introduced the Corvette Grand Sport instead.<\/p>\n\n\n
