With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's
at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of
performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate
at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here
at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its
performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled
at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track
performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track
performance this thing delivers also giving you that
performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep
at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking
at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the
aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme
performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track
performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]
While $ 40k may seem like a lot of money to purchase a
performance - focused copy of Canada's best - selling car, it should be noted Honda's Civic Type - R recently set a new lap - record for production front - wheel - drive cars
at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife thanks to its advanced
aerodynamics, enhanced suspension, and boosted turbo - four.
Further exterior design details hint
at the RN30's capabilities and accommodate high -
performance technologies and
aerodynamic enhancements.
Its exceptional
aerodynamic performance, with a new record Cd value of 0.26, puts the A-Class
at the top of its class.
The dual kidney shaped black front grilles and trio of wide lower air intakes hint
at the designer's emphasis on
performance while deeply etched contours and the twin - stalk mounted side view mirrors relay a focus on
aerodynamic efficiency.
The goal was to maximize cooling airflow, while
at the same time keeping
aerodynamic drag in check (for example, not increasing drag in one area of the vehicle as a result of improving cooling
performance / airflow in another).
The air suspension
at all four corners automatically lowers the ride
at speed for maximum
aerodynamic performance and those air bags keep the ride comfortable
at up to the S8's 155 - mph top speed.
Key to this incredible
performance is the
aerodynamic package, which produces over 90 pounds of downforce
at 100 mph increasing grip and ultimately safety
at higher speeds.
At highway speeds, the
aerodynamic characteristics of the high -
performance coupe generate downforce to further enhance stability.
It stretches the
performance envelope for Corvette with unprecedented levels of
aerodynamic downforce,
at least 625 horsepower from an all - new supercharged engine, and an all - new, high -

Aerodynamic skirts along the rocker panels and
at the rear would make even more of a
performance statement.
At the rear, the roof - edge spoiler that was aerodynamically perfected in the wind tunnel, and is significantly larger on the Clubsport versions than its counterpart on the Golf GTI and Golf GTI
Performance, results in significantly optimised
aerodynamics.
The control system in the Mark VIII lowered the suspension by about 25 mm (1 inch)
at speeds exceeding about 100 km / h (60 mph) for improved
aerodynamic performance.
In practice, the system has always incorporated the desirable self - levelling suspension and height adjustable suspension features, with the latter now tied to vehicle speed for improved
aerodynamic performance, as the vehicle lowers itself
at high speed.

The B7 sedan is finished with ALPINA
aerodynamic developments, including front and rear spoilers which not only enhance the appearance but also improve stability and
performance at high speeds.
Dave Pericak, the global director of Ford
Performance said, «
Aerodynamics are more important than ever in this sport
at the speeds these cars are running, so we used some of the best wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics technology available to help create this new Fusion, and, fortunately, the Ford design team gave us a great vehicle to work with from the start.»
The result is
aerodynamic performance that provides stability and easy control when travelling straight, changing lanes, or overtaking other vehicles
at high speeds.
Although there is little difference between the coupe and sedan mechanically the coupe will likely come
at a premium and offer slightly improved
performance due to better
aerodynamics.
