GM Y platform
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Y platform, or Y-body, is General Motors' high-end rear-wheel drive automobile platform from the 1980s through the 2000s.
The fourth character in the Vehicle Identification Number for a Y-body car is "Y".
Only two Y-body cars have been produced:
- 2005-present Cadillac XLR
- 1984-present Chevrolet Corvette
GM's Kappa platform was based on the Y-body. The distinctive feature of both platforms is the backbone central-tunnel design.
