{{Short description|American sports prototype racing cars}}
The '''VDS-003''' was an American closed-wheel [sports prototype](/source/sports_prototype), designed, developed and built by [Racing Team VDS](/source/Racing_Team_VDS), for the [Can-Am](/source/Can-Am) series, in 1983. It had only one [sports car racing](/source/sports_car_racing) outing; the [1983 Lime Rock Park Can-Am round](/source/1983_Can-Am_season). It was driven by [Phil Compton](/source/Phil_Compton) for [Norwood-Walker Racing](/source/Norwood-Walker_Racing), but was involved in an accident during the practice session for the race. Therefore, it started in last place, and did not start the race. It was later decided to retire the car, and replace it with the much more successful [002](/source/VDS-002), in which driver [Michael Roe](/source/Michael_Roe_(racing_driver)) the [championship in the next year](/source/1984_Can-Am_season). Just like its predecessors, it was powered by a [Chevrolet small-block motor](/source/Chevrolet_small-block_engine_(first_and_second_generation)).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/VDS/003.html|title=VDS-004|access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/archive/VDS/003.html|title=VDS-003|access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref>
