1969 Chevrolet XP-882 Concept

XP-882 was one of three prototype Corvettes built in a very short period. This car was the first of these three Corvettes, which featured a mid-engine design. Shortly after XP-882, the second mid-engined prototype was finished, the XP-895 Aerovette. The Aerovette made it to the New York Autoshow and was seriously considered for production.


Not much information is known on XP-882. It was on the cover of Road & Track in January of 1971. Both XP-882 and XP-895 were ordered to be destroyed by GM headquarters. XP-895 survived the order and existed to this day, but the fate of XP-882 is unknown.
