The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 stood as a groundbreaking achievement that propelled the Corvette brand to new heights in terms of power, track performance, and technological innovation, representing the pinnacle of its 66-year production history. It also marked the conclusion of the era of front-engine Hyper-Corvettes.
Beneath its hood resided Chevrolet’s exclusive LT5 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine, pushing the boundaries of Corvette’s supercharging legacy with an astonishing 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, setting a new Chevrolet production vehicle power record.
This remarkable boost in performance was attributed to the more efficient inter-cooled supercharger system, boasting 52 percent more displacement than the previous generation’s LT4 supercharger. Furthermore, the 2019 ZR1 introduced GM’s dual-fuel-injection system, combining primary direct injection with supplemental port injection.
This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Convertible, finished in Sebring Orange over a black interior, is one of just 512 convertibles built, and is offered for sale by Mecum Auctions in a near-new condition with just 3,800 miles on the odometer.
