3:43
welcoming Corvette enthusiasts from
3:45
around the world it's time to talk about
3:47
the new C8 ZR1 with my good friend and
3:50
friend of the show Corvette brand
3:52
manager Haron Charles Harlen welcome
3:54
back to Corvette today buddy how are you
3:56
I'm doing great always great to be on
3:58
your show appreciate what you do thank
4:00
you buddy harlon first let's talk about
4:03
the debut that everyone's all excited
4:05
about the ZR1 let's break down all the
4:08
big pieces first it's 1,64 horsepower
4:11
and 828 pound feet of torque those
4:14
numbers my friend are mindboggling did
4:16
you think those numbers did they take
4:18
you by surprise or do you thinking they
4:20
would be that high well I think we were
4:23
all I don't say surprised but very
4:26
pleased with the results we basically
4:28
asked our excellent Tower train
4:30
Engineers to give us the most possible
4:33
that's why it's not like an even number
4:35
you know like we didn't have a Target we
4:37
just said No Holds bar let give us the
4:39
most powerful Corvette engine in history
4:42
right they were even surprised too
4:44
because they actually maxed out our
4:46
dinos and some of their testing we had
4:48
to beef up the testing because the
4:49
engine is stronger than the test
4:52
equipment it's amazing how that happened
4:54
isn't it and we have a number of visual
4:57
changes for the ZR1 the most obvious one
4:59
is is the large vent that takes the
5:01
place of the frun yeah so in order to
5:04
harness that power create more downforce
5:07
and cool this engine we created a new
5:09
hood and a cooling system and also helps
5:12
the downforce the way the air passes
5:14
through so it's an all new hood for the
5:16
ZR1 new cooling up there and there's
5:19
also a front spoiler that goes around
5:22
there there's also on the side of the
5:24
car exposed visible carbon intakes and
5:28
Brake duck standard as well as the
5:30
visible carbon ground effects that are
5:32
standard on all the zero ones as well
5:34
and actually the roof on both the coupe
5:37
and the convertible are standard visible
5:39
carbon that's awesome now let's talk
5:41
about those because we do have more
5:43
visual changes like you were alluding to
5:46
the wishbone has that vent in it and
5:48
then on the upper shoulder of the rear
5:50
quarter panel we've got that vent to it
5:52
kind of reminds me of the C7 co6 and the
5:55
ZR1 with the little vent on the top
5:57
there but for the hard top convertible
5:59
there's there's not that vent on the
6:00
shoulder isn't that correct yeah that's
6:03
correct so the coupe has a special
6:05
visible carbon hatch duck and a special
6:08
split window and Surround invisible
6:10
carbon as well it's a lot of difference
6:12
in that hatch area on the coupe talk
6:15
about that for the ZR1 as well obviously
6:17
the hardtop convertible didn't need that
6:19
vent isn't that correct yeah the hardtop
6:22
convertible obviously Mo the mechanism
6:25
and the power there couldn't really
6:26
benefit from that vent but I just want
6:28
to reiterate both the convertible get
6:30
that full 1,64 horsepower that's
6:33
fantastic and the ztk package is back I
6:37
love the big Wing we have the big wing
6:39
and that puts down 1,200 PBS of
6:42
downforce that's amazing yeah it is so
6:44
if you want the ultimate track Corvette
6:47
the set lap records the ztk package is
6:50
really where it's at and you're right it
6:52
includes the arrow package we have a new
6:55
carbon wing and it's a dive planes
6:57
strikes cup tires and special chassis
7:00
calibration and it does achieve at top
7:03
speed over 12200 lbs of downforce that's
7:07
crazy and let's talk about top speed for
7:09
just a minute tell me the story because
7:11
I know there's a story about four test
7:12
drivers starting out and their initial
7:15
run was more than anybody expected
7:17
wasn't it yeah so the initial run at
7:20
nurur Green I think everybody was
7:22
wondering on that en familiar with that
7:24
track but there's a long straight where
7:26
you can see how fast you go and they're
7:27
wondering if they would hit 200 on that
7:30
street and actually just like you said
7:31
all four drivers did that they hit that
7:34
and actually even at the Milford proven
7:36
ground test track the first time out we
7:39
surpassed the previous year one seventh
7:41
gen top speed and so they're testing in
7:44
Germany to get our true top speed
7:47
numbers which will be coming out in the
7:49
future so we're excited about that but
7:51
nothing to announce today but that'll be
7:53
something everybody's excited about we
7:55
do absolutely excited well buddy let's
7:57

4231 I'm your host Steve Garrett with me
11:36
is Corvette brand manager Harland
11:38
Charles we are talking ZR1 Harland let's
11:41
talk more about the ZR1 tradition
11:43
specifically because I love that and the
11:45
edge blue accents for this upcoming ZR1
11:48
look fantastic and I think you're going
11:51
to have to correct me if this is wrong
11:52
buddy but I think the accents The Edge
11:54
blue go back to the C6 era but we've got
11:57
for this one for the C we've got Edge
12:00
blue seat belts we've got the engine
12:02
cover we've got the racing stripes and
12:04
the edge blue wheels which I absolutely
12:07
love talk a little bit more about that
12:09
and the tradition yeah good question so
12:11
the tradition goes back like you said to
12:13
the sixth generation car and actually
12:16
our CEO at the time Rick Wagner after he
12:19
saw how great the ZO6 was going to be he
12:21
challenged us what could you do if you
12:23
had a car over $100,000 what kind of car
12:26
would you make and so we named that
12:28
project Jack Blue Devil because he was a
12:31
Duke basketball player and we did that
12:33
in his honor oh so that became kind of a
12:36
theme for the Z1 when the Sixth Gen came
12:38
out we had the blue brakes and some blue
12:41
accents and things like that so we've
12:43
continued that through the seventh and
12:45
now the eighth generation zr1's one of
12:48
our show cars that we showed was really
12:50
in that theme so we had the black car
12:52
but everything else has all the engine
12:54
have the edge blue we had the blue
12:56
brakes Edge blue stripes we've added a
12:59
blue Stitch interior option of course
13:02
blue seat belts and we have two exterior
13:05
blue colors available as well and then
13:07
the neat thing that we've never done
13:09
before are these new Edge blue wheels
13:12
where you can get the whole wheel Edge
13:13
blue and a lot of people thought that
13:15
was pretty cool I thought that was
13:16
awesome I saw that car at Corvett and
13:19
Carlile and at the anniversary
13:20
celebration at the National Corvette
13:22
Museum I think that would be my spec
13:24
with the ztk package and the homage to
13:27
the C2 Corvette with the split window in
13:29
the back that was absolutely fantastic
13:32
and I don't know about black cars but
13:33
I'll tell you what that screams ZR1
13:36
doesn't it it does and our exterior
13:39
designer Kirk benan he totally agrees
13:41
with you that's what he's looking to get
13:43
for his personal car yeah I think so too
13:45
now as long as we're talking about
13:47
visual things tell me more about the new
13:49
carbon fiber ZR1 wheel from carbon
13:52
Revolution it's an allnew carbon fiber
13:55
wheel from the one that we've used on
13:57
the ZO6 and the eay viously it's an all
14:00
new Next Generation carbon wheel it's a
14:02
elegant 10 spoke design and actually all
14:05
the wheels on the Z1 are specific
14:07
because they do have an increased bolt
14:09
circle on the rear wheel to handle all
14:11
that power and torque and these Carbon
14:13
wheels actually save you 47 lbs of
14:16
unsprung mass wow so something you can
14:18
feel yeah and speaking of mass and
14:21
things like that the new exhaust makes
14:23
37 lbs of thrust Car and Driver magazine
14:25
said that's like six F-15 engines
14:28
strapped to the lumper which I thought
14:29
was a really neat analogy comparison
14:32
yeah that's true it's pretty amazing
14:33
it's like half a jetpack Thruster and
14:36
also some other neat facts are the
14:38
turbos 2third the temperature of a
14:41
shuttle re-entry yeah turbos are 1.7
14:44
times the speed of sound and can consume
14:47
an Olympic swimming pool volume of air
14:49
in just four minutes wow and one you
14:51
take two if people remember the LS7 on
14:54
the ZO6 the 505 horsepower think about
14:57
that one bank is more than than that
14:59
whole engine so it's basically more than
15:01
double that incredible engine at its
15:03
time we thought that was amazing this is
15:05
double that that is amazing and we've
15:07
got two different types of Michelin
15:08
tires for the ZR1 I think the ztk
15:11
package has different tires don't they
15:13
yeah so the standard ZR1 has the PS4s
15:17
and when you go to ztk you get our
15:19
excellent PS cup tires now one thing I
15:21
should point out is we really designed
15:24
these two chassis to bracket the Z6 in
15:27
ride so for example the standard car
15:30
might actually be a little bit more
15:32
comfortable on the road and say the
15:34
standard Z6 because see we have the eay
15:36
and that price class so for somebody
15:38
that wants a comfortable Road car still
15:41
very capable on track the standard zero
15:43
one's the way to go but if you want the
15:45
ultimate you know the zer1 with the ztk
15:47
is like a Z6 z7 and then some yeah lot
15:51
firmer a little stiffer but that's
15:53
really the ultimate track so we kind of
15:55
have these two personalities even within
15:57
the ZR1 yeah you know they always say go
15:59
big or go home well with Corvette I
16:01
always say go big Wing or go home right
16:05
that's a good one yeah and also I think
16:07
this is fabulous there is a tribute to
16:09
Taj in the window tell everybody a
16:12
little bit more about that tribute to
16:13
Taj yes so we had to hide this from Taj
16:17
because if he knew about it we were
16:19
afraid he wouldn't let us do it so we
16:21
knew his retirement was going to come
16:22
eventually and the ZR1 was going to be
16:25
the last Corvette that he gets to
16:27
introduce so the team came with this
16:29
idea of having this little Tad icon
16:32
silhouette in the rear window when Mark
16:35
Roy our GM president found out about
16:37
that and onor Pad he said you know what
16:40
let's put this on all the Corvettes for
16:42
25 on all the windshields replacing the
16:44
Zora icon let's make this going forward
16:47
tribute to T's dructor you know our
16:49
executive chief that were we miss
16:51
already he's done so much for us and
16:53
this is our way of celebrating him on
16:55
every Corvette going forward that's a
16:57
fantastic deal thank you for doing that
17:00
harlon let's take our final break when
17:01
we come back we'll talk more about the
17:03
engine the ZR1 and get some final
17:05
thoughts from him coming up next on
17:09

docomo Steve Garrett with me is Corvette
20:11
brand manager Haren Charles we are
20:13
talking everything ZR1 Harlem before we
20:15
talk more about the ZR1 let's talk about
20:18
the new interior I love the Habano
20:21
interior that's new for 2025 yeah I do
20:24
too like we talked about previously all
20:26
the blue accents well in 2019 zer1 we
20:30
did a Sebring Rin special so we brought
20:33
some of that back for this zer1 as well
20:35
so we have the Sebring orange coming
20:37
back and the special habanero interior
20:40
which goes really well with that or with
20:42
other colors as well we showed it in a
20:45
white convertible with orange stripes
20:47
and orange brake calipers it really
20:49
looks stunning and we're going to talk
20:51
more about what's new for 20125 in just
20:53
a minute but I want to get back to the
20:55
engine because this is the first time
20:57
Corvette has been tur turboed with twin
20:59
turbos that are 67 mm tell me more about
21:03
those and how you got such a great big
21:05
turbo into this engine compartment yeah
21:07
so these turbos are very big and they're
21:09
actually were designed in house and
21:12
they're dual monos scroll turbos we have
21:14
a 67 mm turbine wheel like you said 76
21:18
mm compressor they're part of an
21:21
integrated exhaust manifold and these
21:23
Support over 20 psi of boost so that's
21:27
really a part of what helps give us that
21:29
massive torque curve where it really can
21:31
be over 800 foot-pounds everywhere from
21:34
3,000 RPM all the way to 6500 you're
21:37
getting that massive torque yeah that's
21:39
amazing and I also love the tribute to
21:41
the 63 split window because the 63 split
21:44
window was the car that really got me
21:46
into Corvette was that always planned
21:48
for the ZR1 when you guys introduced the
21:50
C8 well there's always been design
21:54
proposals since I've been on Corvette
21:56
for years about should we bring back a
21:58
split window that's a lot of people's
21:59
favorite car the one they remember is
22:01
that 63 ultimately we wanted not to just
22:04
do it for styling sake or design sake we
22:07
wanted to do it for a functional reason
22:10
and this Z1 gave us the perfect
22:12
opportunity to do that it ties in with
22:14
what we also plann for this GT3 race car
22:18
and it offers extra cooling vents right
22:20
down the middle of the hatch over the
22:22
engine where you want it and the neat
22:24
thing about it too is it's visible
22:27
carbon but we also show this in our show
22:29
cars you can get that body color which
22:31
really emphasizes that split window look
22:33
and then it's all surrounded by visible
22:36
carbon fiber around the two paints of
22:37
glass that's fantastic it's nice that
22:39
you can either get it in carbon fiber or
22:41
in the body color and with the body
22:43
color it really accentuates that split
22:46
window design which is really good
22:47
looking now I know the engineers have
22:50
tackled and they overcame the well-known
22:52
problem with turbos which is Turbo lack
22:54
that's really exciting because everybody
22:56
says oh turbos that's awesome but you
22:59
got that turbo lag but we have overcome
23:01
that haven't we yeah we have they did
23:03
that with electronically controlled
23:05
waste Gates they have creative engine
23:07
controls that reduce turbo lag on the
23:09
street and eliminate it on the track it
23:11
really features controlling the Boost
23:13
level when the throttles close during
23:15
Dynamic driving so when you exit the
23:17
braking Zone and you hit that
23:19
accelerator back you have positive
23:20
pressure already built up on the
23:22
throttle bodies and I love it that the
23:24
ZR1 is now talked about in terms of
23:26
being a hyper car with over the th000
23:28
horsepower as a matter of fact I think
23:30
you even talked about it in some of your
23:32
presentations it actually has one more
23:34
horsepower than the multi-million doll
23:36
Mercedes amg1 one more horsepower right
23:40
right A lot of people like that when I
23:42
brought that up because we have 1064
23:44
that car has a $2.7 million car with
23:47
1063 so I said maybe they should have
23:49
called it the AMG one
23:52
less that's funny I like that or we
23:55
could have called ours the Z one more
23:57
too that works both ways it does work
23:59
both ways that's pretty funny now this
24:01
is still going to be a 2025 car isn't it
24:03
we're looking forward to seeing pricing
24:05
and then the release of that sometime
24:07
next year isn't that correct yeah that's
24:09
exactly right during the time we'll make
24:11
sure that we have pricing and ordering
24:13
and all the options and everything in
24:15
plenty of time before production starts
24:18
so people don't need to worry about that
24:20
perfect now in closing let's talk about
24:22
what's new for 2025 also the build and
24:25
buy configurator is up and running and
24:27
it's got a new name doesn't it that's
24:29
right yeah the the build and buy is up
24:32
and running for 25 for the stingray the
24:34
eay and the ZO6 and then we also have if
24:37

Vehicles we have a ZR1 customizer which
24:42
