Zenvo Automotive
Such a good looking car. Someone in my town managed to stuff a V8 in the back and it's truly wicked looking! He has huge air intakes on the sides that just give it such an aggressive look!
Description: The more you know about automotive history, the harder it is to believe that the Corvair was ever built in the first place. American car companies have never been big on air-cooled engines, or flat en...

Description: Sales in this segment would heat up after recession hit in mid-1957, and by 1960 the Plymouth Valiant and Ford Falcon were carrying the compact banners for their respective companies. Chevy's res...

The first Corvair engine produced 80hp. Power peaked at 180 with the Corsa engine option.
My uncle has a '63 and while these arent the most powerful cars, they're just plain cool. The rear engine is what i like most about it. Its a fun car to cruise around in with the top down
That's a great looking race car. Not sure how great it would handle in the wet with all that weight in the back...
Description: In fact, although a station wagon body style joined the Corvair lineup in 1961, Chevy soon learned that Corvair buyers tended to be more attracted to the car's sporty nature than they were to its...

Description: It was the Monza which, in 1962, would get the option of a turbocharged engine. The base Monza engine was the same as the regular car, but here it was tuned to produce 95 horsepower. Alongside this wa...

See the shiny chrome tube going to each head? The black coupler coming off it in the middle is the compressor exducer.
My guess would be that turbo sitting on top of the engine staring u in the eye
Description: However, the heavy lifting of the engineering work was done at Chevrolet. The sporty image was good for sales, with sales peaking at 337,371 units in 1961 and staying strong through 1965. Motor Trend ...

Description: With all of its exotic engineering, these were the kinds of cars the Corvair was up against, and it did very well. Two things would lead to the decline of the Corvair. The first was Nader's book,...

Coming from a man who was denied Presidency 42 times, I'm not believing it. It is in the book "World's Worst Cars" but after that Nader book Chevy turned the car around.
Whoop Texas A&M proves Nader wrong haha. Another great reason to be an Aggie.
Description: Simply put, the Corvair was no more prone to crash than any of its contemporaries, but by then it was too late. Nader certainly didn't help, but the real undoing of the Corvair was the Ford Musta...

So Nader built this cars coffin, the mustang/pony car segment nailed the lid on, lol
Description: Although the reasons why are easy enough to understand, it's still a shame that it took GM so long to get back into turbocharging. But when they did, the results were even more spectacular, more ...

I read on CarBuzz once that the fastest Trans Am was the one with the Grand National 6 turbo'd. So I'll 4th that, haha. Buick's sexy itself tho.
Haven't seen a four door version of the Corvair Monza before - looks great. Hard to believe this is over forty years old!
saab didn't have a production turbo until 1978 but it was the first turbocharged car for the average person.
No, it was the Corvair. CarBuzz is correct on this one. And maybe a supercharged pioneers series next? :)
I think it was actually Saab in 1956 ish with the first production turbo car.
I love this car
Buick!!! I know a guy with two GNXs and a turbo regal
Buick was turbocharging that generation of the Regal since 78.
Gnx needs to be here and supra for sure.
GNX is the coolest car to ever come out in the 80's
Ohhhhh yeah gotta love the GNX
GNX for sure! I love Buick turbos
AND the GNX. GNX is boss.
The most important ones they have to do are the 99 Turbo, 2002 Turbo and the 911 Turbo.
Oldsmobile came out with the F-85 Jetfire with a turbo all aluminum V8 in 1962 also. Front engined, 215 hp and a few weeks behind the Corvair.
The 2002 was not a mass produced car. They didn't sell nearly as many as the 99 Turbo.
I can see the f40 and 959
VVV yes and im gonna love this series
98 supra? :)
the svo mustang has to be on this list
The BMW 2002 Turbo was Europe's first turbocharged production car, on sale before the Porsche 911 Turbo or the Saab 99 Turbo.
You have to add the Saab 99 Turbo. The first mass produced turbocharged car.
