The Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Corvettes are cool, no two ways about it, but the upcoming ZR1 looks like it’ll be colder than Andre 3000. Chevrolet’s most power car to date, the supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 engine can propel the car to a staggering 210mph. It’s an extreme level of power and the car’s equipped with a few extras just as limit-pushing.

A downforce-enhancing front underwing and rear spoiler help the tyres stay on the ground and extra sports packages push things even further with sports tyres and chassis alterations. It looks the part too. All those aerodynamic facets make for an awesome, almost predatory car, especially in sinister dark grey. That said, we’d happily take one in Sebring orange. Please?
