Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coming With Twin-Turbo V8 Making 850 HP: Report​

It will look meaner than other C8 Corvettes, too.​

Development of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is now underway, and Muscle Cars & Trucks claims to have insider info about the model that allegedly comes from "bulletproof sources."

These insiders reiterate the claim that the ZR1 uses a twin-turbocharged version of the 5.5-liter V8 from the Z06. The addition of forced induction allegedly brings the output to about 850 horsepower (634 kilowatts), versus 670 hp for the naturally aspirated variant in the Z06. The only gearbox choice is reportedly the Tremec-sourced eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox from other C8 Corvettes.
