It's not unusual for automotive producers to continue testing of new models even after those make their public debut and this often leads to rolling eye candy, as is the case with the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 footage we're here to give you.
To be more precise, a pair of C7 ZR1 testers were spotted doing their thing on South Florida's Alligator Alley and we have to thank Corvette Blogger for the footage.
We're looking at a Yellow Coupe and a Convertible dressed in either Ceramic Matrix Gray or Arctic White, with both supercars packing the base low-wing aero package.
Alas, the two test cars were simply cruising, so we don't get too much of a taste of the supercharged LT5 powerplant's voice.
Speaking of ongoing adventures involving the 755 hp slab of America, we'll remind you that GM explained it reserved 2018 for the ZR1 Nurburgring lap time stunt.
We've seen multiple prototypes of the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 blitzing the Green Hell last year, with these having camera strapped to their noses, so our expectations are high.
For one thing, the Z06 was able to go round the infamous German track in 7:14 - keep in mind we're talking about an independent test performed by Sport Auto, one involving a manual incarnation of the 650 hp Vette.
With all the updates of the ZR1, we have no doubt that we're looking at a member of the sub-7 club. In fact, we could even see the Chevy halo car attempting to set a new production car lap record for the Nordschleife.
Of course, that would mean one-upping the 700 hp 2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which can fly across the track in 6:47. And if we factor in the financial side of the equation (the Zuffenhausen supercar costs more than double compared to the uber-Vette), things become even spicier.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
