Presented as the most powerful Corvette ever, the ZR1 keeps its label. The American supercar has tested itself on the Automotive Testing Papenburg , in Germany. It is a test circuit, four hours north of the Nurburgring , on which the car manufacturers test the maximum speeds. The track is a circular ring and to measure the official maximum speed it must be traveled in both directions. In favor of wind and with contrary wind. The maximum speed is calculated from their average. The ZR1 arrived at 214.88 mph in one of the tests, or 345.8 km / h. On the other occasion it was "stopped" at 210.20 miles, or 338.2 km / h. Its 755 HP are unleashed from the mighty 6.2-liter V8 , supported by an Eaton volumetric compressor. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes less than three seconds and the maximum speed declared before these tests was 337 km / h.  On the German circuit, the ZR1 was in standard trim, with the normal rear wing and not that of the ZTK perf...

The ZR1 , the most powerful Corvette ever, takes measurements on the Nurburgring circuit. The American supercar was filmed during some test tests on the German track. As you can see, the model in question looks like a prototype but it is very close to the production version. At the Nurburgring the ZR1 watches since its presentation at the Detroit Motor Show in January. The American car wants to become the third car to fall under the 7-minute track limit . The track record is held by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS in 6’47″3. A record won by the Lamborghini Huracan Performante who had stopped the clock in 6’52″01. In the viewfinder there is however the Dodge Viper ACR . Beating its time of 7'01''3 would mean to be the fastest American car and most likely to fall under the 7-minute limit. The potential is there all. The ZR1, as mentioned, is the most powerful Corvette ever. The mighty 6.2-liter V8 produces 755 horsepower, unpar...

If you are passionate about American cars , and maybe you'd get a Chevrolet Corvette C2 Stingray especially, this is the place.  Particularly it means that from the outside it is a historical in every respect, but it brings with it all the comforts given by modern technologies.
