With its 648 PS and 810 NM of torque, there is no arguing that the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 is a machine that plays in the super sportscar league, but what happens when you have a German tuner such as TIKT who think there is still room for improvement.
Well for starters the above mentioned figures rise to 769 PS and 910 Nm of torque thanks to a number of upgrades that include modified cylinder heads, camshafts, strengthened valve springs, modified compressor ratios, a larger throttle valve and a custom exhaust system.
The C6 ZR1’s cooling system has also been greatly improved and it now pushes up to 4 times more cooling fluid through the engine, while the cooler which has been encapsulated, works in combination with the sports car’s new front skirt in order to achieve a real venturi effect.
TIKT has also adapted the suspension on the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 by adding new race shocks and fitting the wheels with new mounts that bring the vehicle’s center of gravity down by around 30 mm and enable better stability when changing direction at high speed.
The TIKT Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 also comes with Zerra Ultralight Evo 2 wheels, high performance brakes and a carbon fiber rear spoiler.
