Corvette enters the super sports car league. The ZR1 was equipped with the most powerful engine General Motors has ever built.

Corvette charges forward. With the supercharged V8 with a displacement of 6.2 liters and 476 kW / 638 hp, the ZR1 penetrates the field of super sports cars. The Corvette has a maximum torque of 819 Newton meters and should be the most economical representative of the segment with more than 600 hp. The consumption data is not yet available. The Corvette ZR1 is powered by the most powerful engine that General Motors has ever produced for a

series vehicle. It enables the ZR1 to reach a top speed of 322 km / h.

For street and racetrack

“The really amazing thing about the Corvette ZR1 is the range of possibilities that our developers have realized. Despite the range of services, the car is suitable for everyday use, which enables customers to use the ZR1 in daily operations as well as on the racetrack,”said Ed Peper, General Manager of the GM division.

The 638 hp supercharged engine transfers its power to a manual six-speed gearbox via a two-disc clutch with extremely fast traction and to the rear wheels via reinforced components of the power transmission. Like the aggregates of the Z06 and high-performance engines from other GM brands, the ZR1 is also handcrafted in the General Motors Performance Center in Wixom, Michigan. (AG)
