Chevrolet officially announced the 2009 Corvette ZR1 � an American supercar that brings the technology and engineering refinement of carbon-fiber, ceramics and electronics together in a distinctive design.
�Chevrolet�s goal with the new ZR1 is to show what an American supercar can deliver, at a price that trumps exotics that cost two, three or four times as much � and does so with exceptional driveability,� said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager.
The ZR1�s basic stats: -
All-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 targeted at producing at least 100 horsepower per liter, or 620 horsepower (462 kW), and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm) -
Six-speed, close-ratio, race-hardened manual transmission -
New, high-capacity dual-disc clutch -
Higher-capacity and specific-diameter axle half-shafts; enhanced torque tube -
Specific suspension tuning provides more than 1g cornering grip -
Twenty-spoke 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels -
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires � P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear � developed specifically for the ZR1 -
Standard carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors � 15.5-inch-diameter (394-mm) in the front and 15-inch-diameter (380-mm) in the rear -
Larger brake calipers with substantially increased pad area
