JAKARTA - Chevrolet intends to launch the highest version of the Corvette lineup, Zora. It is reported that this car has a turbocharging system in collaboration with the same electrification as the latest ZR1, but more powerful than other variants.

This is also reinforced by a camerashot of a spy featuring Corvette Zora being tested on the Nurburgring circuit, Germany.

CarBuzz reported on Friday, September 13, its exterior almost matched Corvette ZR1 wrapped with camouflage stickers across the body. But when viewed closely, there are elements found only in the E-Ray variant or Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV).

On the front, there is an element like a stack of cooling on the radiator side resembling the PHEV version. What's more, there is a small yellow sticker on this car which shows that the powertrain is streamlined by electricity.

Corvette Zora is expected to use a twin-turbo V8 engine combined with three electric motors that distribute power to all wheels (AWD) so as to provide maximum acceleration. However, it is estimated that the RWD type will also be provided.

Unfortunately, General Motors as the parent company is still silent about the specifications of the most extreme variant of the Corvette family. However, it is estimated that its performance combines E-Ray-style fuel efficiency with ZR1 personnel.

It is possible that the electric motor will produce 160 dk of power. When combined with the gasoline engine, then Corvete Zora will have 1,224 dk of power.

Based on the prototype tested on the legendary circuit, it is certain that this powerful-powered car will have a retuned suspension, high performance tires, and aerodynamics more optimal than before.

While its launch is uncertain, it is likely that Zora will mark his supercar market debut in 2025 and Chevrolet rumored to only provide it in a limited number.
