When the Corvette C7 debuted for the 2014 model year, its design marked a significant departure from previous models. It introduced several innovative features aimed at enhancing performance, with every aspect of its design optimized for functionality. The C7 prioritized downforce, incorporating numerous aerodynamic components to improve aerodynamics and provide better grip.
Inside, the C7 featured thicker bolsters, luxurious leather surfaces, and an array of digital technologies. Powering the C7 was a 6.2L/455 HP V-8 engine capable of optimizing fuel efficiency by operating on fewer cylinders when needed. Impressively, it could maintain a speed of 100 MPH on just four cylinders, with acceleration from zero to 60 in under 4 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12 seconds at 119 MPH. Pricing for a well-equipped model hovered around $70,000.
For enthusiasts seeking even more performance, the 2019 Corvette ZR1 joined the lineup shortly after. With a supercharged 6.2L LT5 V-8 engine producing 755 HP, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the ZR1 offered unparalleled performance for a street-legal Corvette. It boasted a blistering 0-60 MPH time of 2.85 seconds and a top speed of 212 MPH, cementing its status as one of the fastest rear-wheel drive sports cars of its era.
