I just read up on it. Lotus designed the engine...called it the LT-5. The new engine required precise hand-assembly and the Corvette factories wouldn't have been able to handle this, so Mercury Marine was called upon to assemble it.

Basically...Lotus designed, MM built.

I'm waiting on them to release a modern-day Grand Sport. Remember those?


Ah...the C4 was definitely my favorite body-style of Corvette.
