Chevrolet's 650-horsepower Corvette, developed under the codename "Blue Devil," will be called ZR1. That badge will appear on the January 2008 Detroit show car, and on the production version set to go on sale later next year as a 2009 model. GM has been developing this car for several years, using a supercharged version of the new 6.2-liter small block V-8 used in the 2008 Corvette(pictured). GM also considered such names as Z07 and Super Sport for the ultra-low-volume car. Price will be much higher than the 505-horsepower Z06, and Chevy will continue production of that car when the ZR1 launches.
Ever since we first heard of the rebirth of ZR1 in 1989, it has been synonymous with power. We're glad it's not just going to be the "Corvette SS" as Chevrolet whored out that flagship a little too much in recent years. Can't wait to see this thing!
saw this on f quick, i have heard of blue devil at the dealership i work for but zr1 would be a nice name for it.
