The C7 ZR1 continued Corvette’s trend of pushing boundaries by introducing the supercharged LT5 V8 engine. This supercharged V8, with a 2.65-liter blower, surpassed the Z06’s LT4 mill by about 50% in size. The carbon fiber hood, incorporating both direct and port fuel injection systems, surrounds the engine, revealing the exposed blower as a potent reminder of its fierceness. With a robust output of 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, the ZR1 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 212 mph.
The bodywork featured a distinctive front fascia, directing air for propulsion system and drivetrain cooling, and a unique carbon fiber “halo” hood revealing the supercharger/intercooler. It stood as a formidable performance machine with a resonant exhaust note, yet surprisingly manageable at lower speeds. Garnering acclaim from major automotive press for being an exceptional driver’s car, it rightfully earned the “supercar” label in a manner few Corvettes had done before.
