The New Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Sounds Evil Enough To Be Satan's Daily

In perhaps the best testing footage of the new ZR1 we're yet to see, the uber Corvette sounds downright evil

15 Aug 2017

While this might not be the first time we’ve seen the incoming C7 Corvette ZR1 lapping the Nordschleife, it’s probably the best footage we’re yet to see. It seems to look faster and sound meaner than it has done thus far (despite the quirky, ‘Ring regulation-friendly exhaust silences), with the rev-limiter-smashing moment at the 1min 38sec mark being a particular highlight.

The latest rumours suggest the ZR1 will be powered by an ‘LT5’ 6.2-litre supercharged V8, a development of the LT4 found in the likes of the Camaro ZL1 Corvette Z06. It will apparently kick out around 750bhp, and - as clearly shown by the test mule seen here - have one hell of an aero package.

We can’t wait to see it revealed in full.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

it’s so loud that the exhaust is turned like that for noise regulation

Nah, Satans daily is a Harley Davidson painted black with flames spewing out the exhausts

But thats a bike how are you gonna carry the groceries with that (i know it has side bags or whatever they’re called)

*Dodge Challenger Demon with fire spitting-exhausts and really thicc tyres

Last generarion was as fast as the Enzo, lets see if this one can be as fast as the LaF

It should be even faster. New tech, new tires and a fking big wamg

Better be able to kick a Ford GT’s ass

Not sure it can beat the ACR just yet… but hey Chevy, isn’t Supercharged vs. N/A like cheating? 🤔

We stil don’t have the time of the ACR, or the Ford GT. Will be interesting to see Turbo vs NA vs Supercharger

Thanks GM for not putting a lame V6 with crappy turbos in it.

But then again ZR1 costed 100k when new (last gen) and now it’s 40k acording to CT. And the GT, well do I have to start on that. I’d love to get the ‘Vette, but it’s just a money pit
