Model history

The third generation of the Chevrolet Corvette (C3), produced from 1968 to 1982, marked a stylistic shift towards the futuristic "Mako Shark II" concept car. It was the first Corvette model to feature the characteristic Targa roofs with removable roof halves. Over the years, it underwent continuous technical and visual modifications – from the introduction of plastic bumpers to the switch to lead-free engines. The 1977 model was the last to feature the typical vertical rear window. With its iconic design and classic V8 sound, the C3 is one of the most influential US sports cars of its time.

    Technik: Das Design der C3 von David Holls ist stark an das Konzeptauto Mako-Shark-II Show-Car (deutsch: Mako-Hai) von 1965 angelehnt, das seinerseits zahlreiche Elemente des 1954 von Bertone entworfenen Arnolt-Bristol zitierte. Der „Mako Shark II“ (Projektbezeichnung XP-830) wurde der Öffentlichkeit erstmals im April 1965 auf der „New York International Auto Show“ als Designstudie vorgestellt. Die Entwicklungskosten dieses nicht fahrbaren Prototyps lagen bei fast drei Millionen US-Dollar. Sein zweites Debüt hatte der „Mako Shark II“ auf dem „Pariser Autosalon“ am 5. Oktober 1965. Diesmal war er jedoch mit einem Motor mit 7,0 Litern Hubraum (427 in3) und acht Zylindern ausgerüstet und fahrbereit. Dieses Auto war schließlich die Grundlage für die neue „Stingray“. Mit zahlreichen futuristischen Details wie einem rechteckigen Lenkrad, einem ausfahrbaren Heckspoiler oder einem für eine verbesserte Schutzwirkung verlängerbaren Stoßfänger erregten die beiden „Mako-Shark-II“-Konzeptautos im Jahr 1965 Aufsehen, diese Ideen wurden jedoch nicht in die Serienfertigung übernommen. Die stark gebogene Karosserielinie der Showcars hingegen übernahm der Corvette-Designer David Holls für die dritte Generation. LG Tom
