In case relative and superlative adjectives aren’t enough to describe the exquisite Corvette ZR1, Tadge Juechter, project manager, has an interview with Edmunds in which he summarises all its values and characteristics, and adds a some news.

First the new American coupĂ© will be produced (starting this summer) in 2,000 units a year: a figure which, together with the price of about 100,000 USD, indicates an assumed commercial success. But not only, the ability to “conquer the track record of any world circuit” reveals itself and we wonder if the ZR 1 could be defined as the perfect car.

It will be interesting to see if the time in which she’ll fly from 0-100 km/hr will be less than 3.7 seconds: and the reply is oscillating between “yes” and “probably yes” although waiting until 2009 for this racing car is going to be torture.

According to reports from Auto Week, the Corvette ZR1 will imported to Europe from the end of 2008 and unfortunately there will only be 77 available: we’re imagining a continental war will break out based on levels of the fans’ passion and levels of curiousity to try her out on the track.

In case you’re fatally attracted to the LS9 (V8 6.2l) engine, the less exclusive Cadillac CTS-V could satisfy your desires. It’s less exclusive than the Vette, and less powerfuly (”only 550 hp), but it won’t tempt you into trying your hand and auctions potentially dangerous for the wallet.
