Two Chevrolet C4 Corvette ZR1 cars are up for sale

Good news for Chevrolet Corvette fans. Two Chevrolet C4 Corvette ZR1 cars, which are in mint condition, are looking for new owners. The sale was announced by the Fusion Motor Company in Los Angeles, and they cost $ 124,900 each.

Both cars were manufactured in the 90s (1990 and 1994). One of them, an older one, has only 30 miles (48 km) on the odometer. The fact that its interior is still protected by the original nylons shows the condition of the car.

The 1994 C4 Corvette ZR1 has only 33 miles (53 km) on the odometer, and its interior is still protected by original nylons, it comes with original documentation. Both cars are painted black, and its interior is also completely black. The only difference is in the rims.

The C4 Corvette ZR1 is the result of a collaboration between Chevrolet and Lotus. The car is powered by an aluminum 5.7 L V8 LT5 engine, which delivers 375 hp (280 kW) and 370 lb-ft (502 N-m) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

Concept Zero Two as a fusion of Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette

Automotive concept artist / designer Al Yasid (@yasiddesign), created the unique design Concept Zero Two. It is a combination of Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette designs.

The front end is entirely Porsche. From the headlights, the slightly longer hood with the Porsche inscription, as well as the wheel arches, everything resembles a Porsche 911. Viewed from the side, from the front windshield to the back, we can see lines pointing to the Corvette. The rear of the Concept Zero Two features wide wheel arches, a glass engine cover, a light bar that extends the entire length of the rear, as well as a bare section around the taillights and two exhaust pipes.

No matter how amazing this may seem, it’s just the imagination of a design enthusiast, not something we might be seeing on the roads anytime soon. Or maybe not ?!
