Vehicle details
The C4 Corvette shortened the previous generation’s proportions and substantially revised aerodynamics, structure and suspension. Its fiberglass-reinforced plastic body had a low nose and concealed headlamps; the coupe used a removable roof panel and rear glass hatch. Independent suspension at both ends employed transverse composite leaf springs and aluminum components. The standard 1996 version drove the rear wheels with a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 and a four-speed automatic. Unlike the same-year LT4 manual version, the automatic-only LT1 was rated at 300 horsepower.
