Zora Arkus-Duntov had been dreaming of a mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette since the 1960s. Even stubborn company managers and bold drive designs were not to stop him. In April 1970, he finally presented the XP-882 concept car, which was a sensation at the New York Auto Show. But he was never to get any closer to his dream in his lifetime. It was not until 50 years later that Arkus-Duntov's wish became reality. This article tells the story of the Chevrolet Corvette XP-882, which was not allowed to go into series production mainly because the major corporation GM lacked the courage.
In the XP-882, Zora Arkus-Duntov's vision of a mid-engined Corvette took shape for the first time in a form that was as dynamically shaped as it was suitable for series production.
