The LA auto show continues to give. The 2019 Corvette ZR-1 debuted in Dubai, and the sheets came off the drop-top version in Los Angeles. The ZR-1 comes with a hand-built supercharged LT5, which hopefully won't be plagued with the overheating problems of the Z06. The V8 is no slouch, pushing out 755 horsepower and 715 pound-feet of torque. Top speed is 212 MPH, though the LT5 is only limited by aerodynamics at this point.

 Speaking of which, the Corvette has ample amounts of down-force. A massive front splitter sits under the chin of the car, and an even bigger rear spoiler is mounted on the trunk lid. The car comes standard with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, which get upgraded to the Cup 2s when buyers choose the ZTK performance package. The Corvette ZR-1 stops on a dime with six piston front brake calipers and four piston calipers in the rear.


The fastest Corvette ever is sure to attract many buyers and break necks as it spits flames out of its quad exhaust pipes (yes, it does that).
