Arrow 1,000-HP Corvette “Zora” Is In the Works



1,000-HP Corvette “Zora” Is In the Works, According to Internal GM Plans

Quote:
Chevrolet is reportedly working on a 1,000-horsepower Corvette variant, according to a General Motors document leaked to Hagerty. Informally known as the "Zora" (in honor of famed Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov), the top-of-the-line Corvette trim will allegedly rely on a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that pairs a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 engine with one or more electric motors, the latter of which we expect will power the car's front wheels.

Reputedly originally slated for the 2025 model year, the top-dog Corvette trim will likely now arrive sometime in the latter half of the decade. Blame the coronavirus pandemic, which has put a pause on the development of various General Motors vehicles. (But, also, thank that operational pause, because it's that order that revealed these new Corvette projects that are being halted during the crisis.) A statement by the company, however, noted that it has no plans to "[cancel] any programs" and that "near-term programs like [GM's] full-size SUVs, and our EV portfolio . . . will see little or no impact."
