Why it matters
The 2019 ZR1 was the last front-engine Corvette and, at 755 hp, carried the most powerful engine GM had built to that point. It was the fastest Corvette made until then and paced the 2018 Indianapolis 500.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionConvertible: 2019 ZR1 convertibles (1YV67) | 5123 | Factory production | Independently researched |
| Total model productionAll Body Styles: 2019 ZR1s built (coupe + convertible) | 2,9531,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The LT5 was a 6.2-litre V-8 with a 2.65-litre Eaton supercharger, 52 percent larger than the Z06's, port plus direct injection and a crank-driven dry-sump oil system, making 755 hp and 715 lb-ft. A carbon-fibre halo hood was needed to clear the supercharger. Buyers chose a low wing for 212 mph or the ZTK package with a high wing, Cup 2 tires and stiffer springs for the track.
The ZR1 cost $119,995 as a coupe and $123,995 as a convertible. In total 2,953 were built in the 2019 model year: 2,441 coupes and 512 convertibles. A Z06 built on 15 November 2019 was the last front-engine Corvette.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
Per the source: the carbon-fibre halo hood cut around the supercharger, low or high wing (the ZTK package adds the high wing and Cup 2 tires), and the VIN eighth character J for the LT5 engine (7 is LT1, 6 is LT4).
