During 1986, General Motors acquired Group Lotus, the UK based engineering consulting and performance car manufacturing firm. The Corvette division approached Lotus with the idea of developing the world's fastest production car, to be based on the C4 generation Corvette. The result was what GM dubbed the LT5, an aluminum-block V-8 with the same bore centers as the L98, but with four overhead camshafts and 32 valves. Lotus also designed a unique air management system for the engine to provide a wider power band by shutting off 8 of the 16 intake runners and fuel injectors when the engine was at part-throttle, while still giving the ZR-1 375 hp (280 kW) when at wide open throttle. In addition to the engine, Lotus helped GM design the ZR-1's upgraded braking and steering systems, and helped them pick the settings for the standard "FX3" adjustable active ride control that Chevrolet was fitting to the car. The ZR-1 was first offered for sale in 1990 and was available only as a coupe. It was distinguishable from other Corvette coupes by its wider tail section, 11 inch wide rear wheels and its new convex rear fascia with four square shaped taillights. They also had a center high mounted stop lamp attached to the top of the hatch glass instead of between the taillights. In 1992 Chevrolet added extra ZR-1 fender badges and introduced traction control. This is an excellent condition 1992 ZR-1 with less than 11k miles. It has many more pavement pounding miles to go. The car has been maintained properly with the utmost care. The car has also been stored in a climate controlled environment protecting the paint, tires, glass, etc. from the elements. It comes with the Owners kit, window sticker(replica), build sheet(replica), one set of keys, and a free and clear title. Click on the link http://youtu.be/5xCBzSRog3w to see a short video of the car!
