The ZR1 is a 600 plus horsepower super Corvette, with production limited
to just 2000 units a year. It will likely cost in the neighborhood of
$100,000. The car's platform is the already stellar Z06 Corvette that
features an aluminum chassis and 505 horsepower from a 7.0-liter
small-block V-8. The ZR1 takes the next step and uses forced induction
by means of a new Eaton 4-lobe supercharger mounted on a revised
6.2-liter V-8. Horsepower isn't known yet, but claimed to be well above
600.
To keep all that power in check are some massive brake rotors sourced
from Brembo. In fact, they are nearly the same rotors used on a Bugatti
Veyron and barely fit inside the 19-in. front wheels. The rear brake
rotors fit comfortably in the 20-in. wheels and are the same as those
used on the front of a Ferrari Enzo.
The Z06 is a superb track car, and the ZR1 is really pushing the
Corvette envelope to the limit. But unlike the Z06, which is all about
track performance, the ZR1 retains more civility thanks to Magnetic Ride
control that gives varying degrees of damping — allowing the car to
switch from comfort to sport with the push of a button.
