This engine, though smaller than its predecessors, offered a significant upgrade in terms of fuel efficiency and emissions compliance while still delivering a respectable 190 horsepower. This was the first year the Corvette was offered with a fuel-injected engine, a technological advancement that reflected the changing automotive landscape of the era. The 1983 Corvette also introduced a new hatchback design, which provided increased cargo space and practicality without compromising the car's iconic silhouette.
The 1983 Corvette 327 was available in both coupe and convertible body styles, offering a choice for drivers seeking either a more enclosed or open-air driving experience.
