This paper describes the design, synthesis-analysis and development of the unique vehicle structure architecture for the fifth generation Chevrolet Corvette, 'C5', which starts in the 1997 model year. The innovative structural layout of the 'C5' enables torsional rigidity in an open roof vehicle which exceeds that of all current production open roof vehicles by a wide margin. The first structural mode of the 'C5' in open roof configuration approaches typical values measured in similar size fixed roof vehicles. Extensive use of CAE and a systems methodology of benchmarking and requiorements rolldown were employeed to develop the 'C5' vehicle architecture. Simple computer models coupled with numerical optimization were used early in the design process to evaluate every design concept and alternative iteration for mass and structural efficiency . More sofisticated FEA models and extensive hardware testing were used later in the design process to ensure performance goals would be met in the production vehicle.
