Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
The C4-generation Corvette ZR-1 is without question a milestone in American sports car history. When this “King of the Hill” hit the market in 1990, Chevrolet shook the automotive world to its core. The ZR-1 wasnβt just another Corvette β it was a technological tour de force, featuring an engine co-developed with Lotus and Mercruiser, one that even made Ferrari take notice.
Beneath the long hood sits the legendary LT5 V8, a 5.7-liter aluminum powerhouse with sixteen valves and dual overhead camshafts. Producing an impressive 375 hp (in later years even 405 hp), it left the standard Corvette far behind. Performance was stunning for the era: 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 175 mph (280+ km/h). Built for purists, the ZR-1 came standard with a 6-speed ZF manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and a performance suspension that delivered razor-sharp handling.
This particular Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, built in June 1991, is a truly exceptional survivor. With just 6,640 original miles, it remains in a remarkably unspoiled and original condition. The paintwork, interior, and engine bay all present as near-new β as if time has stood still for the past 30 years.
What makes this example special:
β’ Only 6,640 original miles
β’ Accident-free and factory-original condition
β’ 6-speed manual transmission
β’ LT5 engine with unique Lotus engineering
β’ Striking early 1990s color combination
The ZR-1 has since become a serious collectorβs item. Only a limited number were ever built β just over 2,000 units rolled off the line in 1991. Its combination of raw performance, unique engine concept, and distinctive ’90s styling makes this a car that continues to rise in value and desirability.
Looking for a pure, uncompromising American supercar with a European soul? This Corvette ZR-1 offers a rare opportunity to own a true classic in outstanding condition.
