Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannThe C4 ZR-1 is an absolute highlight of the 1990s, with its 380 hp V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Only around 7,000 were built. The vehicle offered here in sporty red is a very well-maintained and, above all, unmodified example. Especially in Europe, where the ZR-1 is very rare, such original vehicles have high potential for appreciation in value.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die Corvette C4 wurde von Frühjahr 1983 bis Ende 1996 als vierte Generation der Corvette gebaut. Ein Cabriolet der C4 wurde Anfang 1986 eingeführt. Dieses Modell mit noch schlankerer Karosserie als der Vorgänger Corvette C3 und extrem flacher, um 64 Grad geneigter Frontscheibe sowie einem völlig neuen Fahrwerk setzte in Bezug auf Handlingeigenschaften und Leistung neue Maßstäbe im Sportwagenbereich. Kein anderes Serienfahrzeug erreichte damals beispielsweise eine höhere Querbeschleunigung mit 0,95 g bei Kurvenfahrt. Um das Handling und die Gewichtsverteilung nochmals zu verbessern, rückten die C4-Entwickler den Motor weiter in Richtung Fahrzeugmitte zur Spritzwand. Der breitere Kardantunnel verleiht der Karosserie mehr Steifigkeit. ABS (ab 1986) und Traktionskontrolle (ab 1992) steigerten die aktive Sicherheit. Ein neues Sechsgang-Handschaltgetriebe von ZF (1989) verringert den Kraftstoffverbrauch. Nach den Hubraum- und PS-Rekorden der vorangegangenen Generation kamen in der C4 ausschließlich V8-Motoren mit 5,7 Litern Hubraum zum Einsatz. Ab 1985 wurde das neue L98-Triebwerk mit moderner Kraftstoffeinspritzung von Bosch samt Luftmassenmessung verbaut. Trotz der Leistungssteigerung von 205 auf 230 PS sank der Verbrauch um 11 Prozent.
