Mid-Engine ZR-1, sources say its a GOOO
http://wot.motortrend.com/1408_scoop...e_is_a_go.html
http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/08/...e-mid-engined/ Mid-engine has been in the corvettes blood for years!!! However, to me it seems like off all the generations, the technology is finally there to make it a reality. A real american hypercar. Favorite part of the article... "GM source recently told us that the Z06’s supercharged LT4 is capable of producing 1000 hp" |

They'd have to do such a large redesign it would almost be like developing a brand new car rather than a c7 variant. I would love to see it but I have serious doubts this will happen.

Only thing that seems plausible for a ZR1 on the current platform would be front-mid (FMR). A C8 could be MR, simply because they've pushed the FR setup to its absolute limits.

Jonny Lieberman (Motor Trend) tweeted this yesterday.
"mt_loverman: "Electrons will flow." The only thing I could get out of anyone at GM about our Mid-Engine Corvette story http://t.co/5pihhUj77d #corvette" I bet it'll be a similar config and drivetrain to the P1, LaFerrai, 918, etc. |
