One of four remaining 1990 Chevy Corvette ZR-1 cars used to test an experimental active suspension is for sale for the second time in four months.
. It appears to be listed by the same Miami-based seller, with the same asking price as before.
As a refresher, this is one of four survivors of a group of 25 prototypes from the active-suspension project. That project was a joint effort with Lotus, which was owned by General Motors at the time and was heavily involved in the development of theWhile active suspension is used on some road cars today, it was limited to Formula One race cars in 1990. GM sought to adapt the technology from the Lotus F1 program to road cars.
The result was a prototype active-suspension system that used hydraulics to adapt to different road conditions, with a Delco computer controlling everything. Those components are still on the car, which, along with its chassis number, identify it as one of the active-suspension prototypes. GM allegedly saw positive results after testing prototypes in both Germany and at the Daytona International Speedway, but the system would have likely been too expensive for road cars. The last time this prototype was offered for sale, the seller claimed active suspension would have raised the ZR-1's price to $150,000.Even without active suspension, the ZR-1 went on to become one of the greatest performance cars of the 1990s.
