6. Corvette Stingray Concept
The Stingray concept car was a privately funded concept car that formed a basis for the second generation Corvette Sting Ray.
The concept car was designed by the youngest designer to work at GM at that time, Bill Mitchell, Pete Brock, and Larry Shinoda in 1957.
The Corvette Stingray used elements of the still-born Q-Corvette design as well as the SS underpinnings.
The new exceptionally light car (2,200 pounds) was fitted with a 4.6 L V-8 engine, and produced a total power of 315 hp.
It was this concept car that influenced the styling of the next generation Corvette, which saw production as the 1963 model.
