Chevrolet has released another teaser video for the upcoming Corvette ZR1, giving us a better look at the car’s rear end. While the video is heavy on engine noise, it does provide some valuable information about the highly anticipated sports car. One thing that is immediately apparent is that the ZR1 will feature a central exhaust exit, similar to the current Z06 model. This reveals that the ZR1 will likely be equipped with a turbocharged version of the 5.5-liter V8 engine found in the Z06.
The positioning of the exhaust tips on the outer edges of the rear bumper is a signature feature of the Corvette Stingray and E-Ray models, which have a 6.2-liter V8 engine. Therefore, the central exhaust on the ZR1 suggests that it will have a different powertrain setup. The choice between a flat-plane crank or a cross-plane crank design for the engine has not yet been confirmed.
The teaser video also provides a glimpse of the massive rear wing on the ZR1, which appears to be even larger than the one on the Z06. This suggests that Chevrolet is not holding back when it comes to aerodynamics and downforce on the high-performance variant.
While Chevy has not announced an official reveal date for the ZR1, they have stated that it will be unveiled sometime this summer. In the meantime, eager fans can check out recent spy shots of the car to get an even better look at what to expect from the super-high-performance Corvette.
Overall, these teasers give us a tantalizing taste of what the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has in store. With its central exhaust and aggressive rear wing, it’s clear that this will be a beast of a car. As we eagerly await its full unveiling, these teasers only heighten the anticipation and excitement surrounding this highly anticipated sports car.
