Details and images of Chevrolet‘s most powerful Corvette ever have just been published.

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 looks similar to the Z06, but this build offers an incredible amount of power with an ultra-refined look. This also marks a significant move for the automaker with the introduction of GM’s first dual fuel-injection system.

The coupe boasts a 6.2-liter pushrod small-block V8 engine that spurs the vehicle to a top speed of over 210 mph, with 755 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque on tap. In addition to a taller and more efficient Eaton supercharger, the V8 is paired with the traditional seven-speed manual gearbox, with an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic available as an option.

Additional features like carbon ceramic brakes, new front fascia, new radiators, and a new front clip add to the vehicle’s performance and aesthetic. Interior elements like leather-trimmed seats match creature comfort with the aggressive look and drivetrain.

General Motors introduced the striking supercar at a private viewing right before the Dubai Auto Show, which makes sense; classic vehicles like the Corvette continue to gain popularity throughout the Middle East.

The ZR1 is set to hit showrooms this spring. Pricing has yet to be announced, but some experts believe the sticker could surpass $130,000. In-depth details will become available when the 2019 Corvette ZR1 is formally presented in the U.S., at the Los Angeles Auto Show this December.
