Corvette ZR1 2019: from 0 to 60 mph in 2.85 seconds

-

The Corvette ZR1 proves to be strong even on the straight with its supercharged V8 755 hp, shooting from 0 to 96 km / h in just 2.85 seconds. 







In the sports market the Chevrolet Corvette has always been an icon and the ZR1 variant represents the most powerful version of the american supercar. With 755 hp released from the supercharged 6.2 V8, in fact, she managed to get behind the fast Ford GT on the Virginia International Raceway.

But that's not all, because Corvette Blogger has recently discovered its acceleration data thanks to statements from the model Product Manager, Harlan Charles. Well, the time on 0-60 mph (0-96 km / h) is around 2.85 seconds. The shot from zero up to 100 mph (160 km / h) takes place in 6 seconds, while the quarter mile (0-400 m) is covered in 10.6 seconds with an output speed of 215 km / h.

Compared to the previous 650 hp C6 Z06 there has been an improvement, but not an exploit. In fact, the latter can reach 60 mph in 2.95 seconds and travel the quarter mile of 10.95 seconds. Data demonstrating how, in three years of evolution, Corvette engineers have achieved the most from their front-engine sports car.


Performance and driveability also testify, as the Corvette is a sports car that can represent a real alternative to the European ones; after all, the results gained in the duration competitions in the past years are explanatory of its qualities

The new architecture has led the American sports car to clearly break away from the past, both in terms of the proportions of the bodywork, and for the style, totally revised to bring the American supercar into a new era. For the moment the Corvette has formalized data and information on what should be the entry-level variant of the sports car, the Stingray which, with its 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine , will be positioned at the base of the offer with prices that, in the United States, should start below $ 60,000 (€ 53,309). Behind the passenger compartment there is a 6.2 liter LT2 V8 derived from the previous LT1 . Mounted longitudinally and combined with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive , the only naturally aspirated eight-cylinder in this categ

Almost a year has passed since the official presentation of the latest generation Chevrolet Corvette , the C8 . Now, however, it seems that its extreme variant, the Z06 , is already in the process of running in the test phase to land on the market as soon as possible. As you can see from the spy images taken by the guys from  Motor1 , two specimens of Z06 have been caught and each of them shows its large exhausts in a central position.  The first model of Corvette Z06 is the one with a rigid roof, while the second is in a convertible version.
