Despite the high prestige of the car overseas, the model can hardly be called desirable for spoiled Europeans, who at the first mention of it only smirk slyly. According to many of them, the American automotive industry is still very far from European supercars not only in terms of technology, but also in prestige. To destroy such stereotypes called new Corvette ZR1, which the company General Motors also created in order to outpace the many emerging competitors.

To achieve "hundreds" from the site it is only 3.4 seconds. The maximum for the car is 330 km / h. An interesting feature of the car is that on its hood was provided a transparent insert, thanks to which the cover of the exhaust manifold is visible to all comers.
Model Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is also remarkable for its running gear. In particular, here is installed a mechanical box for six steps. Due to the double clutch used, all power can be continuously transmitted to the rear axle. The front wheels are 19 inches in diameter and the rear wheels are 20 inches. Note that this is typical for many sports cars. Even tires were developed by Michelin specifically for the new Corvette ZR1.

In the suspension of the car used technology, which previously could boast of the Ferrari 599 - it provides her softness.
This car is characterized by classical proportions: it has a large hood and at the same time is quite low and wide. The power of the novelty is confirmed by the developed body kit, chrome wheels and carbon roof. If we talk about the interior of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, then it is simply luxurious. High quality expensive leather is used in upholstery. A characteristic feature of the car interior is that there is a large number of ZR1 emblems.
