Turbocharging Pioneers: Chevrolet Corvair - Latest Cars News

The first turbocharged production car, the Corvair was different kind of car for the domestic market. If we're going to cover cars which blazed a trail in the area of turbocharging, this is the only logical place to start. Though the Corvair would ultimately come to be remembered for its starring role in Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed, the Corvair was also the world's first turbocharged production car, a fact which is sadly often forgotten. It would take until 1974 for Porsche to introduce a model with a turbocharged air-cooled flat-six mounted in the back, but Chevy had one in 1962.
