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 coupé 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.

Juechter, for his part, continues to heap praise. “Our engineers”, he says in the interview, “have created the most efficient engine at 600 hp than the entire automobile panorama, capable of consuming less than the Z06.” This car apparently consumes 22.8 l/100 km on a city track, and 14.7 as a mixed bag. This could humiliate the Lamborghini LP640 (32.3 in the city and 21.3 mixed) and the Ferrari 599 GTB, having the same scary figures as the “Murci”.

dal canto suo, continua a pronunciare lodi sperticate. I nostri ingegneri – prosegue nell’intervista – hanno realizzato il più efficace motore da 600 cavalli dell’intero panorama automobilistico, capace addirittura di consumare meno della Z06. Quest’ultima, accreditata di 22.8 l/100 km nel ciclo cittadino e 14.7 nel misto, si potrà definire umiliata, così come la Lamborghini LP640 (32,3 in città e 21,3 nel misto) e la Ferrari 599 GTB, sulle stesse spaventose cifre della “Murci”.
