- As GM teases us with the C8 Corvette, which is a mid engined Corvette, they are displaying some of their historical mid engine Corvettes including the CERV I, CERV II, and CERV III at the Concours d'elegance of America.

"You're all familiar with this car."
I have never seen this car in my life.
The cerv 3 is, was, and always will be the coolest vett never made
I had no clue at all the tech the Cerv 3 has! Wow
i feel my 4th gen Camaro has roots of the CERV III
The Cerv3 is the best looking. It resembles the Jaguar XJ220.
nah nah mate, as the CERVIII Corvette predates it, it is the other way around, and the xj220 resembles the CERVIII Corvette. :)
Was about to say the samething
Looks nothing like the XJ220, It looks more like the Nissan R390 & The Jaguar XJ-15
@@uhm175 really, because the designer of the xj220 said this car and the Buick wild car concept were inspiration for the xj 220.
Jaguar XJR-15R too
Cerv III is so beautiful 😍💙
The CERV 3 would have made a beautiful LM car
Thank you for uploading as I remember looking at that mid engine Corvette in a magazine back in the early 90s
The CERV III should've at least been in Gran Turismo 3 and 4
No
Thank you so much for posting this. I am a huge corvette fan and have never seen or heard of the CERV III. Very badass car. Looks like a corvette and a vector had a baby that kinda resembled a Jag xj220/xjr15
You are very welcome, thank you for checking it out! That is one of my goals with this channel, is to turn people on to lesser known cars that you don't hear about very often. :)
DtRockstar1 are you from Michigan? I'm thinking about visiting Detroit, are there a lot of Automotive themed things to see there, such as factories or museums? If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them
Yes, Detroit is very rich with car museums and community. You can email me at lightning_shred@hotmail.com and I can give you some recommendations.
looks like some of the design made it into the c4 corvette
Lots a freakin tech for its time!!
I just stumbled on this video after watching your ZR-1 review. Great job man, excellent story telling and editing.
Thank you very much, Jeff! I appreciate you checking out my videos and I am very happy you enjoyed them!
On my 8th corvette love it very informative video man didnt know much about the cervs now I do
Chevy should organize with polyphony digital and add these car to Gt sport along with a camoflaged C8 corvette(they did this with the c7)
No
Great video, those cars were new to me . I’d never seen them before
Thanks for your efforts .... great review it's my first time to see CERV's ON " video " for sure 🌝💙💎
01:16 Come to the Concours d'Elegance wit dat lazy I star'in at ya😉
For real. Fix that lazy eye, for Pete’s sake
The Test Drive III intro music, in all its MIDI glory, kept playing in my head and that's why I'm here.
Ahh, Test Drive…good times!
I remember the cerv III being all wheel steering and AWD transverse engine. Skid pad performance of over 1.2 G forces
I am from the future, and I can say that the mid-engined Corvette is indeed a thing. You’re welcome.
Excellent video. I actually learned a lot!
Thanks Tim! How's your footage of the Firebird III?
DtRockstar1 I haven't looked at it yet!
So cool! I've never saw that car before.
I would have loved to have seen the CERV 3 in production. If it was going to be a $100k+ car we wouldn't have seen very many of them.
It's too bad they couldn't build it today, I think it's much more exciting design than what they are going to do.
A Corvette without flip up headlights, doesn't feel right. But to paraphrase Jay Leno, you want pedestrians to be smiling when you run into them. Damn regulations, takes the fun out of everything.
lol, that is an ingenious quote!
A CORVETTE WITHOUT THE SIGNITURE ROUND TAIL LIGHTS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. CHEVY HAS SO MANY DESIGN CLUES THAT MADE THEM IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE THAT THEY JUST ABANDONED. FOR EXAMPLE IMPALA'S TRIPLE TAIL LIGHT TREATMENT WAS UNIQUE IN THE INDUSTRY, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE LIMITED PRODUCTION KOENIGSEGG CCX. OH WELL.
Pretty damn cool
Great video! Corvette should have had a mid engine super car option form the '60s onward like Duntov was pushing for. The only thing that's a no go for me about the C8 now that they finally went mid engine is no h shift option. Autos (DCT really) are nice for a daily driven car or if going for ultimate lap times but definitely takes away from the fun factor.
amazing.. i love corvette
Great video 📹 👍
Thank you very much!
The cerv3 and Indy concept is the future that I always dream
And now it is here 60 years
N now finally done, cavy make a dream come true with Corvette C8
So I have always wondered why the cerv3 had ground lights behind the doors? Seem to run when parking or headlights on?
MAYBE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS WEDGED UNDERNEATH.
Cerv 3, very cool!
It's BULLSHIT that car makers can't use pop up headlights anymore. I love them
I can see some of the Jaguar XJ220 in the CERV3. And it looks a lot like the C5 Corvette from the late ‘90s/early 2000s
Looks nothing like the XJ220, It looks more like the Nissan R390 & The Jaguar XJ-15
Ah great Test Drive III memories. If only GM didn't leave it stuck in concept phase...
Yep! Loved those games as a kid!
Is the CERV III on display somewhere?
That winking headlight situation triggered my OCD
MAKES YOU WONDER HOW WELL GM CARES FOR THESE CARS.
@@MICHGO1
It's a fucking concept car, what do you expect?
Anticipated about it since c3
Has to wait till c8
You didn't go into detail about the gull wing rotary engined Corvette that John Delorean helped create
I'd love to see a rotary swap DMC 12 some day.
@@reginaldbowls7180 No
Duhuh¿ where did you find this guy?
the 10th generation corvette will go back to the cerv 3 look futuristic look and ultra light weight
Cerv 111 is awesome..it should have been made..jaguar xj220 and even modern mclarens take cues from it. If this were built it would have probably been built in lower numbers and 100% be an exotic supercar worth millions.
Looks nothing like the XJ220, It looks more like the Nissan R390 & The Jaguar XJ-15
cerv 3 looks like a XJ220
@shawnstafford7809 Looks nothing like the XJ220, It looks more like the Nissan R390 & The Jaguar XJ-15
what engine did the cervIII have ?
Twin Turbo LT5 650hp
I wish they would have put the blue headlights on my C5
By switching it to the LT1 or LS1 and ditching the all wheel drive and steering, they could have dropped probably 400 lbs. minimum and a bunch of complexity from the car. Perhaps this could have made it a viable option for production.
I just watched a video on the 1955 le mans crash. Unbelievable!
Oh I know, it was horrible!
Still better looking than the new 2020 Stingray.
That looks like a jaguar xj220
Looks nothing like the XJ220, It looks more like the Nissan R390 & The Jaguar XJ-15
Carbon fiber brakes? You mean carbon ceramic?
Imagine an LS swap CERV III
Please no
5:02 sound like a lawnmower
I would like a video of the Ford pony 1 mustang early 60s before the 1964.5 4 seater version pony II. Keep up the good work
GM should have made this the C5 in 1990.
GM has a knack for killing off its mid-engined projects...
Yep, just like Cadillac has a knack for making great concept cars......and....that's about it
That's the reason why just when GM gets cars right, they kill them off. And that's how they're struggling today. I guess you can say, it CERVs them right.
I'm out. 😁
@@knowbodiesfull5768 that's it, we can shut down the internet now. There will never be another comment this good.
Looks like a f body camaro, c5 and Koenigsegg had a 3way kid
0:28 "corvette"
when you bully the chinese kid and he shows up with a corvette
what was the RED car ??????
at 0:42? That's the Corvette Indy concept.
@@DtRockstar1
kool - Wondering if the chassis based of the VERV III ?
got to see a REAL c4 Callaway turbo with the 5 star mag wheels , also got to see the c4 Callaway LM Race car , and worked on CALLAWAY Impala SS with the SuperNatural Engine , at the Dealership i worked in Toronto Canada 18 years ago .
had to Replace the Brembo brakes on the 1996 impala ss Callaway cost $3000 pair for Rotors 2 piece
1990年代的車
You couldn't take 15 mins to research CERVII, see you in the funny papers Blumpkin Catcher
Quiero el Ferrari Dino
The Cerv 111 knocks the new bugatti into touch..it looks better and still doesnt cost rip off price.
What?
@@millmill4993 ?
superfluous long blinks.
C8 bud
Dontov was entertaining a Mid engine Corvette, before Ford developed the Ford GT, until corporate reared its ugly head.
very awkward video, very low (bad) camera angle shooting through your crotch. Weird. Very little actual technical information. I welcome the new C-8. Maybe try another video with improvements?
bruh its just his recording
Cerv 1 sounds like a lawnmower
The ute Corvette is now dead should've happened in 1998
wth are you talking about
The Corvette with all it's practical storage space
Glad they didn't release this shit lol
