Get your speakers on and enjoy the next three minutes!
This is my first spy video of the C8 Corvette ZR1 during first laps on the Nürburgring. The team of Chevy-engineers had some trouble with the sound of the ZR1, because it was louder than 130 dB and they had to change the exhausts for their test purposes, otherwise they would have been banned from the Nürburgring. When that was done on all four Chevy C8 Corvette ZR1 prototypes they could start testing before the rain came in over Nürburg and they had to stop again.
For a first impression, the power and performance of this ZR1 is already impressive at this test stage.
My KZfaq Channel CarSpyMedia focuses on high quality car spy videos that only show the model mentioned in the title. I do not show any scenes twice and therefore want to stand out from other spy video channels.

For those that didn't know, there are really strict noise rules at the Ring. Hence the pipes intended to "keep the noise down." ;-)

GM needs forced induction for those easy HP gains for the roll racers who mod their cars. Lol. Gotta have ammunition to go up against those turboed European supercars and Bimmers. C6 ZR1, C7 Z06, and C7 ZR1 are prime examples of Vettes that have potential to gain massive power with their forced induction platforms.

I was really hoping they would do more for the ZR1 , like a new body design and active aero . Not mention it should have more than 850 horsepower. If your going to build a new King of the hill build a mountain. But it’s GM doing the minimum all over again but wanting to be compared to the likes of Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. If going to go after the best you have to beat 3:46 3:46 the Best. Like put the car on a carbon fiber diet don’t let it look like a Z06 with different body panels . Come on GM . Build a Corvette Super Car, we’ve all been waiting for since the mid engine layout got the green light.

@brennan2553 9 ай бұрын

Isn’t there a trim after this one? The Zora? 850hp is plenty for a ZR1, especially if they’re going to go even further

@adamb3129 9 ай бұрын

There is no need for a new body or active aero. Sounds like you want them to make a 500k Corvette. Even with the weight it’ll be faster than all of its competitors from Porsche, Ferrari, and Mclaren while being cheaper. Plus, the Zora is yet to come out which will have about 1000hp.

A Corvette is a Corvette. Gotta keep the successful recipe. Active aero is kind of a gimmick. Even on f-1 cars its fixed, not active. And you seem to forget that they wanna build many 1000s of those so why put ridiculous amounts of CF? It dosant make sense. I think what we’re seeing on the Nurb is already very impressive and must scare most supercar companies.😂😂

Surprised it stayed as a flat plane crank engine. I would've imagined it would've been a cross plane crank to keep compression down and the rpms midrange in exchange for reliability and torque

@2020matrix8 9 ай бұрын

Was my thoughts exactly. I totally agree with you.

The turbos solve the torque problem, so just lowering the compression is much easier from an engineering perspective than converting a clean sheet flat-plane motor back to cross-plane.
