The Gumball 3000 World Supercar Journey 2024 is only 2 weeks away, with the starting point being Le Loi Boulevard (HCMC) on September 14 and 15. There will be more than 80 supercars gathered at the event. Notably, the appearance of the Chevrolet Corvette duo.
According to the list announced by Gumball 3000, there will be 2 Chevrolet Corvette cars attending this event. Of which, 1 car is the C7 version, and the other car is the newer version, the C8 line produced from 2020 to present.
Of these two cars, the attention of experts is focused on the C7, specifically the Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1. This is one of the most powerful cars at Gumball 3000.
The Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1 is powered by a 6.2-liter, LT5 turbocharged V8 engine that produces 755 horsepower and 710 lb-ft of torque. It is available with a 7-speed manual and an 8-speed automatic. This is the first time an automatic transmission has been offered on a ZR1. The top speed of the ZR1 is over 200 mph.
Chevrolet also helped the Corvette C7 ZR1 increase its grip, with increased aerodynamics thanks to improved air intakes and a rear wing capable of providing 430.9 kg of downforce to the body. The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C7 version has a starting price of $130,000, higher than a Porsche 911 sports car.
