The VDS-004 was an American closed-wheel sports prototype race car, designed, developed, and built by Racing Team VDS for the revived Can-Am series, in 1984, and was their last Can-Am car design, and the last one built by VDS. It debuted at the fifth race of the 1984 season, at Road Atlanta. Michael Roe won the 1984 Can-Am Championship outright in the car, and together with the VDS-002, won a total of 7 of the 10 races that season. As with most Can-Am cars of the time, it was powered by the commonly used 5.0 L (310 cu in) Chevrolet small-block motor. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
