The 2012 Corvette ZR1

Fastest production car in GM history

Corvette ZR1 (very limited availablity) tested at 205 mph on the test track. It's powered by a 6.2L LS9 V8 engine equipped with a four lobe Eaton Twin Vortices Series supercharger with intercooler. Total power output is 638 SAE certified hp with 604lb ft of torque

ZR1 power to weight ratio surpasses Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 GT2

The capabitity of Corvette ZR1 (very limited availablity) comes from more than just its 6.2L LS9 638hp supercharged V8 engine. Equally significant is a power to weight ratio of 5.2 pounds per horsepower, thanks to an aluminum frame magnesium, fix roof structure, visible carbon fiber body components and carbon ceramic brakes

Visible carbon fiber body components

If you're seeking a machine that looks like it belongs on the GT racing circuit, you'll appreciate visible carbon fiber body components of the Corvette ZR1 (very limited availablity). These include the rocker extensions, roof and roof bow. Besides contributing to the excellent power to weight ratio of the ZR1, several of these pieces also help generate better high speed stability.

Lay down the power like a pro

Want to feel like Johnny O' Connell at Le Mans? The 2011 Corvette ZR1 (very limited availablity) offers a standard five mode Performance Traction Management and consistency. It manages acceleration out of turns via integration of the Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Traction Control, and Active Handling systems.

XM, CD, MP3, Navigation and More

It’s Hard to imagine anything that could make driving a Corvette better. But now you can checkout over 170 digital channels with three trial months of XM Radio standard on every Corvette, or a one year subscription on select models. Also, choose from several audio system options, including a Bose seven speaker sound system, depending on model. Select models even offer a navigation system that provides information on screen, verbally or via the Head Up Display to help you keep your eyes on the road.

The only brakes capable of taming 638hp

Massive stopping power. That's what you get with the standard  ZR1 (very limited availablity) Brembo Brakes. They feature carbon ceramic rotors that weight almost 50 percent less than equivalent cast iron units. The system employs six piston and four piston rear calipers engaging vented and cross drilled rotors.
