General Motors announced recently
that it would reveal a new $100,000 super car with the occasion of the North
American International Auto Show from January. Built on Chevrolet’s traditional
muscle-car heritage, General Motors’ Corvette ZR1 will come with a super-charge
600-horsepower engine and will be one of the most powerful and most expansive
cars that the popular company has ever sold.
So, after General Motors got
itself involved in developing hybrids and promoting green-tech initiatives, the
auto maker seems to have returned to the roots with Corvette ZR1. Although it features
highly sophisticated modern technology, this new model represents the traditional
super-car, as we all imagined it: a slim, though very powerful Batman car.
Corvette ZR1 is expected to be
the highlight of next month’s show from Detroit,
where other auto makers are also planning to expose several high-horsepower
vehicles, such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
However, although General Motors’
Corvette ZR1 and its rivals will be tough enough to surprise everybody at the
North American International Auto Show, the company recently admitted that the
days of the powerful muscle cars may be numbered, taking into account the
recent legal efforts to force auto makers into building more fuel-efficient
cars.
So, although Corvette ZR1 may be
“the last one of its species”, at least it is the most powerful and fastest
production Chevrolet Corvette ever made.
