Classic Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
638 HP/205 MPH on The Test Track
ZR1 is powered by a 6.2 Liter LS9 aluminum block V8 equipped with a four-lobe Eaton® Twin Vortices Series™ supercharger with intercooler. It delivers an SAE-certified 638 hp at 6500 rpm and 604 lb.- ft. of torque at 3800 rpm. The engine employs lightweight titanium intake valves and connecting rods and contains a high-performance dry-sump oil system, which distributes pressurized oil from an external reservoir to protect vital components under high-g driving conditions.
Interior
Corvette provides a premium driving environment with such options of rich leather coverings on the instrument panel upper, door panel uppers, console cover and sport seat surfaces with the available Custom Leather-Wrapper Interior Package on the 3ZR trim level. This option also gives you the opportunity to personalize your Corvette with contrasting stitching in Red, Yellow, and Blue.
It Goes on The Scale Before it Goes on The Car
ZR1 engineers were religious about maintaining a favorable power-to-weight ratio. So they specified high-strength, lightweight materials wherever possible. One example is the aluminum frame structure (the same one used on the C6.R race car), which weighs 138 lbs. less than an equivalent steel structure. Result: an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio of 5.2 pounds per horsepower.
Brembo® Carbon-Ceramic Stopping Power
The ZR1 offers massive stopping power, thanks to its Brembo carbon-ceramic brake rotors that weigh almost 50 percent less than equivalent cast-iron units. Besides reducing overall mass, they are capable of operating at 1,000 degrees Celsius (as hot as molten lava) without warping. The system employs six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers engaging vented, cross-drilled rotors.
