Here are nine things to know about the fastest Corvette ever:
- This mammoth of a vehicle comes equipped with a 755 hp 6.2-liter V8 engine on its hood.
- It also has a supercharger that is over 50% larger than the one used by the 650 hp Corvette Z06. It is also 300 hp more than the base Corvette Stingray.
- The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has an engine that is fitted with port and direct fuel injection, sending 715 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
- It uses a standard 7-speed manual, or an optional 8-speed automatic transmission.
- The company has yet to reveal just how fast this car is, but it says that it will top the 210 mph barrier.
- You can choose between the Low Wing aerodynamic package, with creates great downforce with little drag, or the High Wing, which is adjustable and can plant the 14-inch wide rear tires to the ground with up to 950 lbs of pressure.
- The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has an underbody front wing to help balance out the handling, while leaving space above it for three air intakes.
- It also helps keep the baker’s dozen of heat exchangers that keep the vehicle cool.
