The C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 sent out the last front-engined Corvette with a bang, delivering some of the highest performance of any car that ever wore the famed checkered flag badges. Now, a pristine example of one has come up for sale, and it has quite a bit going for it.
Going up for sale at Mecum‘s Kissimmee auction, this 2019 Corvette ZR1 only has 148 miles (238 km) on the odometer, making it virtually brand new, but that’s only part of its appeal.

At first glance, this Corvette might not look like anything special, at least as far as ZR1s are concerned, but it actually boasts a supposed 1-of-1 color combination: Torch Red paint over a Spice Red leather interior. We’re not sure how there was only ever one C7 ZR1 to leave the factory in that specific red-on-red combo, but that’s what Mecum claims in the auction listing, and they do have the documentation to prove it.
Other exterior details include red-painted brake calipers, chrome badging, a carbon flash-painted wing and side mirrors, and a Jake logo satin black stinger stripe down the hood. Inside, there are red seatbelts, a carbon fiber leather-wrapped steering wheel, a carbon fiber instrument panel, and sueded microfiber-wrapped upper trim. Additionally, the prospective buyer of this car has the choice of looking up at a carbon fiber weave or the sky above from the driver’s seat, as the car also includes two different roof panels for its targa top.

But besides that, there’s also plenty of other things that make this Corvette desirable. For one, poking through the hood is a 6.2L supercharged V8 that makes 755 hp (765 PS / 563 kW) and 715 lb-ft (969 Nm) of torque, which is only enhanced by a 7-speed manual transmission. The car is also equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and the Track Performance Package, the latter of which includes an adjustable high wing spoiler, a front splitter with carbon fiber end caps, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
