2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe and Convertible Spied Testing against Hellcat
Both the 2018 Corvette ZR1 Coupe and Convertible have been spied in Marrietta, Ohio, with photographer David Wesel catching the supercars on camera and sharing his work with us via the Vette-loving community over at CorvetteBlogger As for the full testing line-up we mentioned in the intro, this also includes the GM supercars (more or less direct) competition, as the six Corvette prototypes were spotted playing with a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, as well as a Jaguar F-Type According to the photog, one of the Chevys in the group was a Grand Sport driven by Corvette pr oduct manager Harlan Charles.Compared to the fixed-roof prototype spied on the previous occasion, the Convertible we have here comes with a smaller rear wing.However, the prototypes remain heavily covered, whether were talking about the all-clad front apron or the psychedelic wrap on the rear end.Speaking of the 2018 Corvette ZR1s front section, dont expect the LT5 V8 that GM is currently developing to show up on the supercar, as this should debut on the future C8 Corvette.Instead, the ZR1 will probably be motivated by an even beefier version of the C7 Z06s LT4.And with the blown 6.2-liter V8 already delivering 650 ponies, were expecting one spicy recipe.The C6-gen ZR1, which showed up as a 2009 model year vehicle, was better on the straights than it was through the twists.
