This Chevrolet Corvette 'SS' is a magnesium bodied experimental car that set a new lap record in Sebring, Florida, in 1957. It has served as the precursor to many Corvette sports/racing models. Zora Arkus-Duntov, engineer-designer of the car, presented it on May 29, 1967 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the drivers' meeting prior to the 51st Indy 500 mile race, which was driven by a Chevrolet Camaro.
Led by the gifted Zora Arkus-Duntov, a team of engineers created this ultra-lightweight (1850 lbs) and powerful (307 hp) racing car using the Mercedes 300SL as a template. A featherweight magnesium body encased a tubular steel frame with coil-over-shock front suspension, a De Dion rear axle and inboard mounted aluminum drum brakes. Under the hood was a fuel-injected small-block V8 capable of 307 horsepower at 6,400 rpm.
The 1957 Corvette SS was a 'concept car' created for the purpose of competing in the 24 Hours of LeMans. Two chassis were built, 'The Mule' and the race car. However, the first test would not be at LeMans, but at its shorter American counterpart, the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Het voltooide project XP-897 GT verloor zijn alfanumerieke aanduiding en werd de " Two Rotor Corvette" genoemd. Met een hoogte van slechts 43,3 inch en schitterend in zijn Candy Apple Red-lak en gouden wielen, debuteerde de auto op de Frankfurt Auto Show in 1973. Het was voorspelbaar dat er opnieuw geruchten de ronde deden of er eindelijk een Corvette met middenmotor in de maak zou zijn. Maar ondanks het warme ontvangst van de XP-897 door zowel tijdschriften als potentiële kopers, kwam de auto nooit verder dan de conceptfase....
