Vehicle description
The forbidden fruit. One of 4 known surviving Active Suspension prototypes, $ 28 Million project with Lotus, fully functional prototype that can be driven, outstanding condition, real test mule. The 959 of the Corvettes. In 1990 General Motors wanted to pursue the fastest and most sophisticated production sports car in the world with the ZR1. This is one of just a few surviving units from those 25 cars delivered to the Engineering Department in Bowling Greene for an active suspension project developed in collaboration with Lotus. Incorporating technology from the Formula 1 Lotus team, GM allocated $28 Million for the research and development of an intelligent digital/hydraulic active suspension management that would adapt to road conditions, lateral handling and corner balancing through a Delco computer and the most sophisticated suspension system ever installed in a car to date. This state-of-the-art technology was ahead 10 years and was meant to become viable mainstream just only in the early 2000’s. Back then meant that the options package would translate into a price tag of $150K per car to Chevy customers. The 25 Active prototypes participated in numerous tests around the world including Germany and at Daytona where they averaged 175MPH for 24 Hours with stops only for stint change and refuel. Our ZR1 is one of those 25 incredible prototypes, that paved the technology road into the future of the Corvette. It is identified with and experimental chassis number and all the fully functional prototype equipment including the 3000-psi hydraulic system and Delco computer. This important piece of automotive history is available for sale and will be delivered with an original copy of the GM assignation order and on a bill of sale.
