2019 Chevrolet Corvette

The LAST front engine Corvette will surely be a sought after vehicle, but the last front engine ZR1 will be the ultimate collectible.

With just 2,441 ZR1 Coupes produced and the amazing performance, the ZR1 provides performance, rarity and collectability.

Of the 2,441 ZR1 Coupes only about 5% were made in Ceramic Matrix Gray (125 Cars) and only 1.5% were equipped with Spice Red Leather (37 cars) versus the more common Adrenaline Red (206 Cars) making this particular combination very rare and unique.

About the C7 ZR1:

The Corvette C7 ZR1 was unveiled at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show for the 2019 model year.

The ZR1 is heavily based on the Z06 platform with many noticeable changes, including the all-new 6.2 L pushrod LT5 V8 engine equipped with a 2.6 L Eaton supercharger that is 52% larger than that of the Z06 along with a new fuel injection system.

The new engine is rated at 755HP at 6,300 rpm and 715 lb ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. The ZR1 also includes an improved engine cooling system with large vents in the front bumpers and on the hood, a larger intercooler, and four more radiators, bringing the total count to thirteen.

The ZR1s aero package was developed in collaboration with Pratt & Millers Corvette racing team in wind tunnels. It includes a large rear wing bolted directly on the chassis, a front splitter, and a new front underbody spoiler in order to balance out the excess drag. Other changes include an active exhaust system and an upgraded crankshaft, all of which help propel the car to a top speed of 214.88 mph with the low rear wing.

The ZTK Performance Package is an optional aero package for the ZR1. It adds a higher fixed rear wing which generates 60% more downforce than the Z06 with the Z07 package, but also reduces top speed due to aerodynamic drag. The ZTK package also adds carbon fiber front splitter end caps. With the combination of the high rear wing and front underbody spoiler, the ZR1 produces 950 lb of downforce at top speed. The ZTK package also fits the ZR1 with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires instead of the standard Michelin Super Sport tires, and specific chassis and magnetic ride control settings for better cornering.

Despite the extensive use of carbon fiber, the ZR1 is heavier than the Z06 at 3,560 lbs due to added fluids for the cooling system. The ZR1 is available with a 7-speed Tremec TR-6070 manual transmission with rev-matching technology or an 8-speed GM 8L90 automatic transmission with paddle shifters, which are the same as those found in the Z06. The ZR1 comes with carbon ceramic brakes, double wishbone suspension system and magnetic ride control system as standard with optional brake caliper colors and wheels.

The interior includes Nappa leather upholstery, heated seats, carbon fiber rimmed steering wheel and Bose sound system as standard with a variety of performance and comfort options available. The ZR1 went on sale in Q2 2018.

A convertible version of the ZR1 was unveiled at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. Performance figures remain the same as the coupe, but the convertible weighs 60 lbs more than its coupe counterpart due to structural reinforcing components.
