The Corvette C7 ZR1 was unveiled at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show for the 2019 model year. The ZR1 is heavily based on the Z06 platform with many noticeable changes, including the all-new 6.2 L pushrod LT5 V8 engine equipped with a 2.6 L Eaton supercharger that is 52% larger than that of the Z06 along with a new fuel injection system. The new engine produces 755 PS (745 hp; 555 kW) and 715 lb⋅ft (969.4 N⋅m) of torque. The ZR1 also includes an improved engine cooling system with large cooling vents in the front bumpers, vents on the bonnet and a larger intercooler. The cooling system also adds 4 more radiators bringing the total count to 13.
Due to the large supercharger and intercooler, an opening is made in the bonnet but is concealed by making the intercooler cover in such a way that it looks like a part of the bonnet. The ZR1's aero package has been developed in collaboration with Pratt & Miller's Corvette racing team in wind tunnels which includes a large rear wing bolted directly on the chassis, a front splitter and a new front underbody spoiler in order to balance out the excess drag. A fixed wing was added after the engineers at Corvette Racing discovered that an active rear wing serves no more than an aesthetic purpose. Other changes include an active exhaust system and an upgraded crankshaft, all of which help propel the car to a top speed of 214.88 mph (345.82 km/h) with the low rear wing.
