chevrolet corvette zr1 teaser
The most extreme mid-engine Corvette is just a few months away from reality.
The Corvette ZR1 is finally official. Chevrolet announced on Wednesday plans to reveal the most extreme mid-engine Corvette yet in the summer, publishing a short teaser video showing us the car’s silhouette.
Chevy has yet to release any specs for the ZR1, but rumors suggest it could get a twin-turbocharged version of the 5.5-liter naturally aspirated, flat-plane crank V-8 found in the current Z06. Other rumors suggest the ZR1 could also get the electric front drive axle from the E-Ray, making the ZR1 an all-wheel drive affair for the first time.
The ZR1 has sat atop the Corvette food-chain for three straight generations, so no matter which drivetrain it ends up with, expect big power. The last ZR1 made 755 horsepower; we expect this one to make more than that, around 800 horses, if rumors are to be believed.
