The C7 generation marked the final chapter for front-engine Corvettes, and it went out with a bang. At the top of the lineup sat the ZR1, synonymous with high-performance Corvettes since the 1990s. The C7 ZR1 pushed boundaries with the introduction of the supercharged LT5 V8.
This powerhouse featured a massive 2.65-liter supercharger, nearly 50% larger than the one on the Z06’s LT4. The LT5 used direct and port fuel injection to maximize performance, ensuring optimal efficiency whether cruising or at full throttle. The aggressive design incorporated a carbon fiber hood with an exposed supercharger, reinforcing the ZR1’s no-nonsense attitude.
With 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, the ZR1 rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. The quarter-mile flashes by in 10.8 seconds at 135 mph, and with enough runway, it can reach a blistering top speed of 212 mph. But the ZR1 isn’t just about straight-line speed. It delivers exceptional handling with a reinforced suspension, advanced aerodynamics, massive carbon-ceramic brakes, and cutting-edge electronic aids.
With a base price exceeding $120,000, Chevrolet built only 2,953 examples for 2019—2,441 Coupes and 512 Convertibles. This Arctic White ZR1 offered on Bring A Trailer is one of just 364 in this color. Well-equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group, Carbon Flash wheels, Competition Sport Bucket seats, and red brake calipers, its original MSRP reached $140,275.
It features Jet Black leather, heated and ventilated seats, a carbon-fiber and suede steering wheel, and a performance data recorder. High-performance upgrades include the ZTK Track Package with magnetic ride control, an electronic limited-slip differential, carbon-ceramic brakes, and an adjustable high-wing spoiler.
