The fourth-generation Corvette (1984–1996) produced some of the marque’s most advanced concept cars. Prototypes like the Corvette Indy and CERV III explored mid-engine layouts, active suspension, and all-wheel drive, while other studies tested new aerodynamics and materials. Together, these C4-era concepts showcased Chevrolet’s ambition to place Corvette among the world’s most advanced sports cars.
