The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 marked a significant milestone in the Corvette’s illustrious 66-year history, representing the apex of front-engine hyper-Corvettes. Proudly housed beneath its hood is the LT5 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine, elevating the Corvette’s supercharging legacy to unparalleled heights with an impressive output of 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, setting a new power benchmark for Chevrolet production vehicles.
Boasting a certified top speed of 212.49 mph, the ZR1’s bodywork featured a distinctive front fascia engineered to optimize airflow for the propulsion system and drivetrain cooling. Complementing this design was a striking carbon fiber “halo” hood that showcased the supercharger/intercooler assembly.
Beyond its formidable performance credentials and commanding exhaust note, the C7 ZR1 exhibited surprising agility at lower speeds. It garnered widespread acclaim from automotive enthusiasts and critics alike for delivering an exceptional driving experience, earning the coveted designation of “supercar” in a manner few Corvettes had achieved previously.
This ZR1 boasts top-tier options, including the $7,000 Design Package with Sebring Orange Tintcoat, Jet Black leather, and suede interior with orange stitching, part of the $10,000 3ZR Premium package. Equipped with the ZTK Track Performance Package, featuring carbon fiber front splitter, Magnetic Ride Control tuning, and adjustable High Wing, alongside carbon fiber wheels, optimizing performance.
Well-maintained and with only 495 miles, this C7 ZR1 is a must-have for any discerning Corvette enthusiast. RM Sotheby’s estimates that this 2019 ZR will sell for $230,000 – $300,000 at their Miami 2024 auction event which will run from March 1-2.
