Fastest Corvette

The right hand drive R1 was engineered and built by Corvette importer Performax International, which expects to receive full Australian Design Rule approval for the car soon, clearing it for sale and registration in all States and Territories.

The Chevy Corvette ZR1 features a supercharged, 6.2-litre GM LS9 motor producing 476kWof power and 815Nm of torque. With a low kerb weight of 1510kg thanks to an aluminium chassis and carbon fibre body panels, the ZR1 claims a power to weight ratio better than most of Europe's fastest supercars, including the Porsche GT2, Ferrari 599 GTB and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4. Its top speed is around 320 kmh and 0-100 kmh acceleration time less than four seconds.
