The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was a groundbreaking achievement, designed to elevate the Corvette brand in terms of power, track performance, and technology, marking the pinnacle of its 66-year production history. It also marked the end of the era of front-engine hyper-Corvettes. Beneath the hood, it boasted Chevrolet’s exclusive LT5 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine, pushing the Corvette’s supercharging legacy further with an astounding 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, setting a new Chevrolet production vehicle power record.
