Chevrolet's introduction of the LT1 in 1992 as the base engine in the Corvette phased out the L98 based Callaway Twin Turbo. Previously, Callaway Corvettes made their increased power through positive manifold pressure; now they made it through increased displacement and finesse.

The limited edition is distinguished by an aggressive look and black accents, reminiscent of the Porsche 911 GTS range.

The car was mechanically identical to 1978 counterparts.
CERV IV was nothing more than a C4 with the all new powertrain and interior in it.

In-vehicle testing began at the GM Milford Proving Ground in the first week in May of 1993 with the "Chevrolet Engineering and Research Vehicle IV-A".
