The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door, two-seat sports car produced by General Motors for their Chevrolet division since 1953. The car is currently in its eighth generation, known as the C8, which this casting replicates. It is the first Corvette in serial production with a RMR (rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive) layout. It is, however, not the first mid-engined Corvette; the Corvette Indy Concept, the related CERV III and the Aerovette all predate the C8.
