Corvette ZR1 vs Ferrari 458 Speciale
Let’s see the stats on these two cars before watching the video!
The Corvette ZR1 engine is a heavily modified version of the LS3 Corvette engine, designated the supercharged LS9 Corvette engine. Producing 638 hp and 604 lbf·ft of torque, it is the most powerful production Corvette to date. The LS9 has a sixth-generation Eaton TVS R2300 roots 4-lobe supercharger with intercoolers from Behr, utilizing an air-to-water, dual-brick design. The supercharger’s four-lobe design offers improved efficiency over three-lobe models. To avoid changes to the hood appearance, the supercharger’s output was split into two halves. Each cylinder bank has an intercooler.
It is a version of 458 Italia with increased engine power to 597 hp at 9,000 rpm with a torque of 398 lb·ft at 6,000 rpm. “The Speciale’s secret sauce is a piece of software: side-slip control, an algorithm developed in tandem with the LaFerrari to determine the car’s slip angle in real time, set a target slip angle based on your driving style, and adjust the agility or stability accordingly.”
