50 Years of the Chevrolet Corvette

2009

After years of rumors, the ZR1 made a return after a fourteen-year hiatus more powerful than ever. It was unrelieved in 2008 and announced for the 2009 Corvette lineup. The vehicle had a new LS9 supercharged 6.2 Litre V-r engine with a rating of 638 horsepower and 604 lb. /ft. of torque. One of the most distinguishable characteristics of the ZR1 was its raised, all-carbon-fiber hood and polycarbonate window. The Z06 saw new “Spyder” wheels, and the base models/convertible received Bluetooth functionality.
