In the realm of high-performance American sports cars, few names carry more weight than the Corvette ZR1. No matter the generation, the ZR1 has consistently represented the pinnacle of Corvette capability. The name first appeared in 1970, built around a tuned LT1 engine and configured for competition use.
That focus meant sacrificing comforts like power steering, air conditioning, or even a radio, and production was extremely limited—just 53 cars were built from 1970 to 1972. The ZR1 resurfaced for 1990 with a dramatically different personality. Still offering serious performance, it now included the refinement and amenities expected from a world-class sports car.
The formula evolved again in 2009, this time with an even more capable platform that could be optioned anywhere from track-focused to luxury-oriented. The 2019 ZR1 followed that template with a supercharged 6.2L LT5 V8 producing 755 horsepower, delivering roughly a three-second 0–60 mph run and a top speed near 200 mph.
This example listed on Bring a Trailer shows just 2,800 miles and comes with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and a seven-speed manual. Finished in all black, it combines motorsport energy with upscale execution: heated and ventilated Jet Black leather competition seats, a suede-lined interior with carbon-fiber trim, and a carbon/leather steering wheel. Blue calipers, a dual-mode exhaust, carbon-fiber components, and a black convertible soft top complete a car that merges high performance with luxury touches.
