Reintroduced to the Corvette lineup for 2009, the C6 ZR1 arrived as the most powerful production vehicle General Motors had ever built, boasting 638 horsepower. It also surpassed the legendary 1990–95 ZR1 by delivering a top-speed capability exceeding 200 mph.
At its core was the newly developed, supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V-8, equipped with a Roots-type, positive-displacement supercharger using a four-lobe rotor, a 9.1:1 compression ratio, and a 10.5-quart dry-sump lubrication system. Advanced hardware included active handling, speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering, and massive Brembo brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. Production totaled 1,415 units for 2009, followed by 1,577 examples in 2010—the year Performance Traction Management debuted with five track-focused modes—and just 806 cars for 2011.
Finished in rare Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat over a Dark Titanium Custom Leather interior, this ZR1 pairs supercar performance with premium comfort through the optional 3ZR Premium Equipment Group. This package added $10,000 to the original $107,830 MSRP and brought power-adjustable leather sport seats with ZR1 embroidery, Bose audio, navigation, Bluetooth, and a bespoke leather-wrapped cabin.
Offered through Sotheby’s Motorsport, this 2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is equipped with the desirable six-speed manual transmission and shows just 5,675 miles. The interior includes leather upholstery, a power telescoping steering column, memory settings, and a universal home remote. Externally, extensive carbon fiber is used for the hood, fenders, floor panels, roof, roof bow splitter, and rockers, complemented by a professionally installed aftermarket valved exhaust system.
