We only know a few numbers (7:26.4) about this version, and yet talk is already out about the next generation. The Americans are aiming to get on top of European competition with this Corvette ZR1, which will have twin turbo combined with a V6 engine. The car should abandon the classic V8 and will follow the Nissan GT-R example.
No news is available on the twin clutch transmission or the central engine. The new ‘Vette though, starting with the the C7, will be counting on an attractive engine and reducing emissions and consumption.

28 Feb 2011 - 05:30 - #1The Corvette has had its toe-curling Elvis-in-Vegas years (the awful, asthmatic C3s of 1975-1977 were the absolute nadir). But the opening decade of the 21st century finds America’s own sports car in the best shape it’s ever been. The 2008 C6 is the sharpest, fastest, and best-finished Corvette yet, while the 197-mph Z06 is, quite simply, the best-value supercar you can buy anywhere in the world.
