Chevrolet Unveils the $123K Corvette ZR1 Convertible for 2019

General Motors has introduced its 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 supercar. The newest Corvette looks entirely American, but it is ready to compete with automakers like Ferrari.

The beautiful, high-performance convertible is able to keep up with the best of the best thanks to a super-efficient 6.2-liter V8 that produces 755 hp. Customers may opt for the seven-speed manual or the eight-speed automatic gearboxes; the manual is the baseline transmission.

The sports car won’t boast the same pavement-scorching max speed…212 mph…as the hardtop model. But Chevrolet confidently announced that it will have a top speed of more than 200 mph. The only structural changes needed for the open-top design were accommodations for the folding roof and adjusting the location of the seatbelt mounts.

The 2019 Corvette ZR1 convertible will be available starting at $123,995; the hardtop ZR1 has a starting price of $119,995. Drivers can also opt to add an aerodynamics package to either variation, for an additional $2,995.
