Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Photos
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been manufactured by Chevrolet since 1953. It is built today at a General Motors assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but in the past it was built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri. It was the first all-American sports car built by an American car manufacturer. The National Corvette Museum and annual National Corvette Homecoming are also located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
This is it. The speculation, rumors and half-truths can now be set aside — this is the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, officially revealed for all the world to see. Powered by a supercharged LS9 6.2L small-block engine, the ZR1 hasn’t even received an official horsepower number from the engineers toiling away at the General. All Harlan Charles, project manager for the Corvette team was able to tell us last week was the new high-powered ‘Vette engine is “capable of producing at least 100 horsepower per liter. That’s at least 620 horsepower, and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque.” Chevrolet wasn’t even able to give us a time on the 0-60. Charles was only willing to say “it’s in the low three seconds.” The small-block engine under the hood is only able to hit those massive numbers due to the addition of the positive-displacement Roots-type supercharger with a new, four-lobe rotor design plus an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for increased performance. That’s the “go” end, but the “whoa” end is just as impressive. The ZR1 gets some simply huge carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors. They’re so big and are required to be so powerful they’re using the same 15-inch-diameter discs found on the front of a Ferrari 599. Except on the ZR1, they go on the 20″ tires in the rear. In the front, they’ll be getting even larger 15.5-inch-diameter rotors. Yup, they’re simply breathtaking to see up-close. For the time being everyone else will have to check out the gallery below or the full press release after the jump.

Kicherer Tunes The Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
The Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is a unique creature, in that despite its impressive performance attributes, it's received a rather mixed reaction from the automotive community as a result of its updated exterior. At first even I was hesitant of the changes made to the model, but as time has progressed, I will admit I like the current SL range, and I do consider the new styling to be an improvement over the old.
Enter Kircherer.
In an attempt to make the Mercedes SL63 AMG even more appealing, the German tuning firm has taken the route many tuners do, enlisting the help of some carbon fiber and added horsepower to make the model even more dynamic. Specifically, they've bumped horsepower by 40 (increasing total output to 565 hp), thrown on a new carbon fiber rear diffusor and side mirrors, added new 20-inch light alloy wheels, and equipped it with a new exhaust system. The end result is a Mercedes SL63 AMG that can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.3 seconds (0.3 seconds faster than a standard SL63 AMG), looks substantially worse, and costs roughly $30,000 more.
Worth it?
I hate to judge, but I can think of many, many ways I'd rather spend thirty grand. A month in Fiji sipping tropical cocktails, a down payment on that used Cessna I've been considering to finally take up flying lessons, a Bengal tiger à la Scarface to to impress my house guests... the list is really endless.
Anyways, should you hold a different opinion of the Kicherer Mercedes SL63 AMG and wish to part with the extra $30,000 it will take to procure one, keep scrolling to see a number of photos highlighting exactly what the added money will get you. As always, click any photo to enlarge.
Enjoy ladies and gentlemen.
