    Aerodynamics

    The reigning king of downforce. With a leading-edge design like wide side air inlets, carbon-fiber elements, and a multitude of airflow and cooling features, ZR1 dominates with the highest downforce of any production Corvette.

    Flow-Through Hood and ground effects

    Flow-Through Hood and ground effects

    The flow through hood and spoiler help to extract airflow through the intercooler and cool the turbocharged air. The front splitter, paired with an underwing and smooth underbody, helps generate suction under the vehicle to maximize downforce and reduce drag.

    Side Inlets

    Side Inlets

    Large side air inlets feature signature carbon-fiber wishbone bezels. This, paired with the rear brake cooling ducts, allows for additional engine cooling while maximizing air intake.
