Dynamic characteristics of the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 revealed

The supercar is capable of accelerating to 60 mph faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo, even in its initial version, without the ZTK Performance sports package. He will fly a quarter mile in 9.6 seconds, showing a speed of 245 kilometers per hour at the finish line.

The mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which officially became the fastest car in General Motors history, also turned out to be very fast. According to the passport, acceleration to 60 mph (97 km/h) for a two-door takes 2.5 seconds – or 2.3 with the ZTK Performance package. The latter includes an aerodynamic body kit, stiffer springs, recalibrated Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 shock absorbers and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires with special characteristics.

Another important indicator is the quarter mile time. For the Corvette ZR1 it is 9.6 seconds, with a finish speed of 245 kilometers per hour. For comparison: without the ZTK Performance package, the supercar will cover the classic drag distance in 9.7 seconds, and the Corvette E-Ray hybrid in 10.5. The ZR1 is powered by a V8 5.5 biturbo engine, developing as much as 1079 horsepower and 1121 Nm of torque. It is paired with an eight-speed “robot” with strengthened gears, a new main pair and improved lubrication.

The Corvette ZR1 also features a carbon fiber roof, an Edge Blue intake, and unique aluminum wheels, which can be replaced with one of two composite options for an additional fee. In the second case, this will reduce unsprung masses by almost 19.5 kilograms. Production of the wildest Corvettes will start in 2025. There are no prices yet, but according to unofficial information, the price should be 200 thousand dollars, or 20.7 million rubles.
