* Wider, carbon-fiber front fenders with ZR1-specific dual vents
* Carbon-fiber hood with a raised, polycarbonate window - offering a view of the intercooler below it
* Carbon-fiber roof panel, roof bow, front fascia splitter and rocker moldings with clear-coated, exposed carbon-fiber weave
* ZR1-specific full-width rear spoiler with raised outboard sections
* Specific gauge cluster with boost gauge (also displayed on the head-up display) and 220-mph (370 km/h) speedometer readout
* Only two options: chrome wheels and a "luxury" package
* Curb weight of approximately 3,350 pounds (1,519 kg)

Extraordinara. .. O performanta notabila pt Statele unite... Sper ca si pretul va continua traditia!

[boy_wonder]

masina va costa aproximativ 100.000 $! un pret excelent as putea zice..

p.s.: imi place ideea cu motorul la vedere

Am ramas fara cuvinte ce bine arata toata.. de la jante (:0) pana la Interne..Si pretul arata bine ..I think i'm In love :P

[UNLORD]

F. tare masinuta cel putin exteriorul arata criminal.
Interiorul parca ar fi putut avea mai multa imaginatie dar e ok overall!

[Tunelord]

foarte tare toate mashina si pozele is mortale mai ales alea cu componentele motorului...ii fain decupaju' ala in capota...si plafonu' de carbon

[Alex_55]

oare este adevarat ca nu va fii adusa in europa ( oficial ) ??

[Bobby boss]

Superba masinuta.

[shaid-kid]

De 5min...ma chinui si nu-i gasesc nici un defect...

[ovydioo]

o masina buna ... nici o inovatie dar totusi o masina f reusita. pt usa e buna pt europa mai au mult d lucrat in mod special la interior... american muscle.

[VWluci]

si pretul foarte accesibil pentru ce poate!

[22VIN]

pret de 100k $ pe un muscle car de 620cp si 823Nm? e chilipir. bine nici interiorul nu are materiale de calitate ca doar e americana... da cui ii pasa?!?! e extraordinara. la ce bun cd player pe ea? il scot direct si-l arunc pe geam n-ai nevoie de asa ceva... dect de urletul motorului si cei 823Nm sa te infiga in scaun :X e mortala:X

Interior details

The ZR1’s interior builds on the brand’s dual-cockpit heritage, with high-quality materials, craftsmanship and functionality that support the premium-quality experience promised by the car’s performance. The ZR1’s cabin differs from the Corvette and Corvette Z06 with the following:

*ZR1-logo sill plates

*ZR1-logo headrest embroidery

*Specific gauge cluster with “ZR1” logo on the tachometer and a 220-mph (370 km/h) readout on the speedometer

*Boost gauge added to the instrument cluster and head-up display

The “base” ZR1 (RPO 1LZ) comes with accoutrements based on the Z06, including lightweight seats and lightweight content. The uplevel interior package includes unique, power-adjustable and leather-trimmed sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo); custom, leather-wrapped interior available in four colors; navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and more.

Suspension tuning and Magnetic Selective Ride Control

The ZR1 retains the 105.7-inch (2,686-mm) wheelbase of other Corvette models, as well as the short-long arm suspension and transverse spring design, but it rides on all-new, wider wheels and tires, stops with carbon-ceramic brakes and features specific spring and stabilizer bar rates – the largest-diameter stabilizer bars available on a Corvette. Also, the axle half-shafts are angled more horizontally to align with the different geometry created by the ZR1’s larger-diameter and wider rear wheels.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control (MSRC) is standard and tuned specifically for the ZR1. It is a real-time damping system that replaces conventional mechanical-valve shocks with electronically controlled shocks filled with a synthetic fluid containing minute iron particles. Under the presence of magnetic charge, the iron particles align to provide damping resistance almost instantly.

MSRC “reads” the road in 1-milisecond intervals (a thousand times per second), making it the world’s fastest-reacting damping system. Its ability to deliver a compliant ride with nearly instantaneous damping adjustments enabled engineers to develop a surprisingly supple ride quality in a supercar that still delivers cornering grip of more than 1g.

“The damping control of MSRC allowed for front and rear springs that have a slightly lower rate than the Z06, which enhances the car’s ride quality,” said Juechter.

From a high-performance perspective, Magnetic Selective Ride Control helps the rear axle remain planted during launch for smooth, hop-free acceleration. It also helps suppress axle movement when cornering on broken or uneven pavement.

With cornering capability greater than the Z06, the ZR1’s powertrain was upgraded with a higher-capacity oil pump and larger-capacity oil reservoir. This ensures optimal oil pressure during the highest-load driving maneuvers.

Carbon-ceramic brakes

The ZR1 comes standard with carbon-ceramic brake rotors and large-capacity calipers at all for corners. The exotic carbon-ceramic rotors are made of a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic silicon carbide material, which offers low mass and exceptional resistance to wear and heat.

The vented and cross-drilled rotors on the ZR1 measure 15.5 inches (394 mm) in diameter in the front and 15 inches (380 mm) in diameter in the rear – making them among the largest carbon-ceramic rotors available on any production vehicle. And while large in size, they are low in mass, saving approximately 11 pounds (5 kg) per corner over comparably sized cast iron rotors.

The rotors are acted upon by six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers, each painted a ZR1-exclusive blue. The front pads are equivalent in size to the largest on any production car with a single-pad design, measuring 148 sq. cm. in surface area – double that of the Corvette Z06’s 70-sq.-cm. front pads.

Braking performance of the ZR1 is nothing short of phenomenal, with the carbon-ceramic rotors and large calipers combining to provide exceptionally short, fade-free stopping during high-performance driving. The composition and durability of the non-metallic carbon-ceramic materials mean the rotors should never show any corrosion or require replacement for the life of the vehicle, when used in normal driving.

A new, Bosch brake-apply system is standard, and includes the brake master cylinder, booster and ABS control module. It is tuned specifically for the ZR1 and is not shared with other Corvette models. The system works with Magnetic Selective Ride Control to deliver a very competent and intuitive active handling system – complete with a Competitive Driving mode.

apropo, corvette a trecut de mult de stadiul de muscle car, poate fi denumit supercar la fel ca si viper si ford gt; cine crede ca glumesc, sa verifice timpii de la nurburgring..

[Bemelo]

are si magnetic ride ca pe R8 .. deci poate fi si un every day car fara probleme...
