Corvette ZR1 Nurburgring


Late last month, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge J. Juechter revealed that a bone-stock Corvette ZR1 supercar driven by a development engineer had lapped the Nurburgring Nordschliefe in an astonishing 7:26.4.

This earth-shattering time betters the Nissan GT-R's much-vaunted best time of 7 minutes and 29 seconds by some three seconds and has given General Motors the bragging rights in the supercar world for the time being.





An in-car video was promised for the week of July 7 and true to his word, the clip has now made its way online so click on the video clip to watch the ZR1's super quick run around the 'Ring.

Corvette ZR1 does 330 km/h

April 28th 2008 11:15
Corvette ZR1


The Corvette Development Engineering team recently took the new ZR1 supercar to the test track in Germany for one simple exercise - to see just how fast it could go.

Two very brave test-drivers were in charge of putting the ZR1 through its paces and the sheer speed of which the new Corvette is capable of was just mind-numbing to say the least.



And the result? Does 330 km/h sound fast enough for you?

With at least 462kW (620hp) and approximately 823Nm of torque (595 lb.-ft.) on tap from its all-new LS9 supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine, the ZR1 boasts at least 100 hp per litre - the benchmark figure for performance vehicles.
