Novelty bought by Corvette ZR1 can be found under it’s hood. We are talking about LS9 engine, with a capacity of 6,2 l and produces at least 620 hp at 6500 rpm. Thanks to a over altimenter the LS9 engine could reach 650 hp. Maximum torque of ZR1 is 810 Nm at 4000 rpm. Corvette ZR1 is capable to reach the speed of 100km/h in about 3 seconds and reach it’s maximum speed of 320 km/h, as American engineers say.
General Motors engineers praised their model, especially LS9 propeller because of ratio between power-mass (100 hp/l). “From this point of view, ZR1 is better than Ferrari 599, Porsche 911 GT2 or Lamborghini LP640. Actually we are expecting like ZR1 to be the first Corvette that reaches 200 mph”, declared Ed Peper, Chervolet official. Exterior design of new model doesn’t differentiate too much from Corvette philosophy. Newness come from the used materials, especially carbon fiber, that covers a big part of frontal components and roof. Extremely visible are the aggressive lines of ZR1, intended to bring an aerodynamic appropriate behavior. As a weirdness, engine bonnet is provided a window that offers a view over the engine and helps it cooling down.
Anterior part of model presents the classic shape of Corvette, and as a special element there can be seen the 4 exits of exhaust system. Price at which is estimated Corvette ZR1 is about 100 000$
