People love to drive cars which have sporty looks and run fast. Companies such as Ferrari, Chevrolet, and Lamborghini, according to the needs and preferences of auto enthusiasts, make sports and fast running cars to attract more and more consumer to their respective brand and to counter other vehicle brands. This time also the news is exciting for sports car lovers as Chevrolet—a division of General Motors has unveiled 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The Corvette lineup sits in the top seat of Chevrolet as its highest performer. Chevrolet’s Corvette is also called ‘Vette.
“I’ve never driven a Corvette like this before, and nobody else has either because there’s never been one like this before,” said Mark Reuss, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “Its unprecedented performance puts all other global supercars on notice that the ZR1 is back.”
The company has been releasing teasers for a quite some time now and finally unveiled it in Dubai. The new Corvette ZR1 houses a 750 horsepower due to the significant throttle body and more efficient fuel injection system. And the torque is 715 pound-feet.
