Chevrolet quietly announced a new hypercar with 1,250 horsepower. It is the stunning cross between the ZR1 and a hybrid power train.

The ZR1’s turbos are the largest ever installed on a production passenger car, according to GM. The inertia of such large turbos is a recipe for turbo lag—that’s the delay between the time when a driver floors the gas pedal and the engine’s turbo reaches full boost to provide maximum power.

It's all to inform you just how well a vehicle performs—and do so in a story that is as interesting and exciting as the vehicles and the places themselves.If you're the guardian angel type, you'll want to make sure yours blocks out time in their schedule before you settle into the new Corvette ZR1.
