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

That’s Satans daily
Am i the only one who thinks the front bumper looks like a Ferrari 430
Am I the only one who doesn’t love the big wing? I’ts not bad but the one on the Z06 looks great.
just buy a Z06 then, they will still sell both so what’s the problem? its obviously useful, just like on the ACR, so…… (not trying to be rude, please don’t get offended)
I need new pants……
Don’t mind the Mercedes. It was just running away from that AMERICAN SAVAGE
Satan already has a daily and its a Prius.
Kind of sounds like a demon child screaming.
Sounds butifol
I looked at the comments, and someone wrote
“I can’t hear the supercharger.”
W h a t ?
I heard that thing from a 1/4 mile away! The car even sounded like a TIE fighter on one of the straights!
We now know James May won’t like it.
