If you are in the market for Corvette ZR1, be thankful you live in the States where the new King of the Hill will retail for $105,000. Yes, we know dealers are adding upwards of $50,000 to the price of each new ZR1, but even at $150,000 its still a bargain compared to the recently announced European sticker price that effectly doubles the price of the ZR1.

Dutch importer Kroymans, the company that handles the sales of Corvettes in Europe, has set the price for the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 at 136,000 Euros. At current exchange rates, that translates into $214,146.64 US Dollars. As in the US, buyers will be treated to a driver's training course that's included in the price. "There is a huge demand for this car," Kroymans spokesman Dick Braakhekke said. "It offers great performance at a relatively low price."

Only 70 Corvette ZR1s are expected to be exported to Europe this year and only 150 Corvette ZR1s are targeted for during the full 2009 model year. Out of an expected model year run of 2,000 units, that's a very small percentage. Last year 1,244 Corvettes were sold in Europe.
