Built of lightweight magnesium, this unique car featured retractable headlights and a wraparound windshield. Arkus-Duntov employed a stripped-down aesthetic for the interior, in keeping with the car’s single-minded focus on speed. While Chevy’s management initially ordered four XP-64s, only one was built due to the difficulty in procuring the required amount of magnesium.
