Description

“The Most Powerful and Most Expensive Corvette Model Ever”

Codenamed 'Blue Devil' the ZR1 is the most powerful and most expensive Corvette model ever. The ZR1 is the first production Corvette to achieve a top speed over 200 mph and one that can match the performance of other exotics costing at least twice as much.

While the ZR1 shares the Z06's aluminium chassis its suspension tuning has been optimized for the cars incredibly wide front and rear tyres. To achieve its performance goals a supercharger was added to the 6.2 litre V8 that pushes its peak power up to a jaw dropping 628 bhp @ 6,500 rpm.

With a raised carbon-fibre hood that incorporates a clear polycarbonate window showing the engine's intercooler the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is instantly recognisable.
