12. Corvette C4 Prototypes
The Corvette C4 was the car that singlehandedly saved the Corvette from its demise due to the recession and a lack of popularity. During the last couple of years, the C3 generation was a joke with its warmed-up ’60s styling. And although it came with a big engine, it produced less than 200 HP.
However, in 1984 everything changed with the arrival of the C4. In fact, those C4 prototypes and concepts they released in the early ’80s were important for Corvette history. Those cars showed Chevrolet was on the right path with a new design and improved suspension, as well as much better performance numbers.
