Next Corvette ZR1 spied again, this time both coupe and convertible

[Suarez™]

This latest look at the heavily camouflaged Corvette ZR1 shows that convertible and coupe models will both get massive wings, but the convertible's wing will sit closer to the decklid. We can only assume the different wing placement on the convertible is to help the driver see something besides a wing in the rear-view mirror.

With the mid-engine Corvette inching closer to the streets, the front-engine 'Vette's days seemed numbered. If that actually turns out to be the case, and the mid-engine Corvette doesn’t get shelved again, the seventh-generation Corvette ZR1 will be a fitting farewell to the Corvette's winning original formula. 

We don’t know what is going on under the Corvette ZR1’s hood, but we imagine it’ll be at least as powerful as the 650 hp 6.2-liter V8 used in the current king Corvette – the Z06. If we look at the previous generation of Corvette, we can see the ZR1 was substantially more powerful than the then-naturally-aspirated Z06. The C6 Z06 ‘Vette was no dog with its 505 hp 7.0-liter V8, but the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 in the ZR1 made 638 hp. 

What we do know is that wing makes the Corvette ZR1 look like it means business.
