The place chosen for presentation was a World War II hangar and is that Chevrolet He had been waiting for a long time to present one of the most popular models in the United States. Indeed, we speak of the eighth generation of Corvette, a sportsman who continues to give us news related to him, this time with a special edition.
The best test we have before us with the recent images that our spies have sent us while they remained attentive in the vicinity of the General Motors test center, that is, Milford Proving GroundsMichigan There a very special unit made an appearance because it is the prelude to a limited production version whose main differentiating argument is the so striking painting that looks, one of color blue which is called Rapid Blue.
This tone will be incorporated in the coming months to the range of American sports and will be differentiated from the blue color that we have seen in previous occasions in the Chevrolet Corvette C8. We refer to the so-called Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic, that is, the same one that presented that unit that crashed a few weeks ago in the state of California when it was traveling in a convoy to Yosemite National Park.
Another peculiarity of the copy of the photographs is that the Z51 aerodynamic package optional, which makes the Corvette even more striking by integrating a series of prominent elements into its body. We talk about the rear wing in the color of the body, the five double spoke wheels, a more pronounced front splitter and some black finished parts that contrast perfectly with this striking and innovative blue color.
In the mechanical part there will be no news and the main protagonist will remain the V8 LT2 natural aspiration, located in central position. This engine generates a total of 495 horses and its maximum torque is 637 Nm. Its perfect complement is an automatic gearbox with double clutch and eight speeds that sends all the energy to the rear wheels. They are not as exaggerated figures as expected from the future ZR1, but some with which to accelerate 0 to 100 km / h in less than 3 seconds.
