1957 Corvette Roadster
What is your favourite sports car of all time?
In 1956 the Corvette acquired a new style. Emerging as a new car, the chassis remained basically the same but Arkus-Duntov made improvements to the steering and handling, although the all-drum brake system was far from perfect. Power was increased and tune options ranged from the basic 210bhp (1956) to 283bhp (1957), with the latter, the Vette topped 130mph and 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds. The restyled body was sensuous, influenced perhaps by the European Mercedes 300SL but still looking 100 percent American.
