Exterior
The ZTK Performance Package, new for 2019, offers several additions to the Corvette ZR1’s exterior. The package offers an adjustable High Wing and a front splitter with carbon-fiber end caps. Unfortunately, the addition of the High Wing does drop the ZR1’s top speed just a smidge, but you can still expect the speedometer to jump above 200 mph on the track.
The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is available in nine exterior colors: Sebring Orange, Long Beach Red Tintcoat, Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic, Arctic White, Blade Silver Metallic, Black, Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat, Torch Red, and Admiral Blue Metallic.

Performance
As the most powerful production Corvette to date, the 2019 ZR1 is quite the showstopper. Its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 gives off 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque. You can choose between two different transmissions: a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic, the first-ever included on the ZR1. The 2019 ZR1 has a top speed of 212 mph, truly leaving its competition in the dust.
Interior
The inside of the 2019 Corvette ZR1 is fit for any racing enthusiast. Its deeply contoured sport bucket seats make you feel right at home on the track, designed with perforated Mulan leather materials. The audio system is decked out as well, with a Bose premium system on the 1ZR and a Bose advanced system on the 3ZR. If you’re spending a lot of time on the track, you’ll definitely want to opt for the 3ZR, which comes with a performance data and video recorder so you can log your progress.
