The Corvette is a high-end Sports car that has been produced by [[GM]] since 1953. The car was designed by Harley Earl and named after the fast attack [[Corvette|ship]]. However the first Corvettes produced gave somewhat lackluster performance due to their 'stovebolt' 6-cylinder engines. V-8 powerplants were soon introduced and the car rapidly gained in popularity. An unusual design feature for it's time was an all-fiberglass body. The Corvette is available in 2-door sports coupe and convertible models, and a 4-door sedan model has been considered by the GM development team. The Corvette has such name recognition that it is actually sold under its own marquee in Europe and Japan.
