Top-speed testing in Papenburg, Germany, produced a top track speed of 212 mph for the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, making it the fastest production Corvette ever.

Base versions of the current C6 Corvette still have fiberglass body panels, while the more expensive ZR1 has a carbon fiber hood, roof, front splitter, and rocker moldings to further trim weight.

The first generation of Corvette was introduced late in the 1953 model year. Originally designed as a show car for the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, it generated enough interest to induce GM to make a production version to sell to the public. First production was on June 30, 1953.

As a rule of thumb, the average car will rack up 20,000 km per year ﾗ the distance manufacturers use to determine standard warranty coverage. A seven-year-old model should have 140,000 to 150,000 km on the odometer. If it has traveled considerably more, deduct cash for high mileage. The ideal answer is yes.

A Corvette comes with a factory invoice of about $47,300 for a Base model and an MSRP of about $50,600. The Grand Sport trim level adds about $7,000 to the vehicle's MSRP while the Z06 adds another $20,000. The top-of-the-line ZR1 has an MSRP of about $36,000 more than the Z06.

Corvette's use of advance materials began in 1953, when the first Corvettes were produced with all-fiberglass bodies. Every Corvette since has featured a composite-material body. Fiberglass, the lightweight, rust-proof composite material, was first considered for use on a GM vehicle by legendary designer Harley Earl.
