2009 Corvette ZR1 Will Be Unveiled at GM Style Party

General Motors will roll out the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 at the GM Style Party on Saturday, January 12th. The annual GM Style party includes musical performances and fashion shows featuring both clothing designs and cars. This year, Detroit’s Kid Rock. Mary J. Blige and Maroon 5 will perform at the event. In the past, Hollywood stars were paired and would walk a runway with selected GM vehicles after the curtain was lifted.

The general public will have their shot to see the supercharged 6.2L King of the Hill during the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) next week.

While we are still waiting for performance estimates and the final price tag which are expected to come as we get closer to the Corvette ZR1’s launch this summer, engineers anticipate the car to achieve a top speed of 200 mph as well as a performance benchmark of 100 hp per liter or 620 horsepower total.

GM Style will be simulcast on gm.com.
