If the Corvette is to remain relevant 70 years from now, it’s going to have to appeal to new generation after new generation.
That means reaching youngsters now like the ones attending Warren Elementary School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, home of the Corvette Assembly Plant.

It’s been a couple of days now that the Corvette engineers have been at the Nurburgring for the October industry pool testing session with the all-new King of the Hill 2025 Corvette ZR1. By now we hope you have seen the spy photos (SB-Medien/Spiedbilde) and have taken a listen to the LT7 V8 as the ZR1 was captured on video earlier on Wednesday.
In that video, we saw the Corvette ZR1 prototypes wearing exhaust extensions designed to push the sound of the car away from the sound devices that line the track and the word on the street is that the new American sportscar has been exceeding noise limits just like its predecessor.

![[VIDEO] First Sounds from the 2025 Corvette ZR1 on the Nurburgring](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2023-2/101123_7b.jpg)
With the Corvette engineers testing the 2025 Corvette ZR1 prototypes on the Nurburgring this week, we’ve been waiting to hear the angry sounds from the ZR1’s new LT7 V8 of which the details are still unknown. We are still thinking the car is turbocharged and the new body appears to support that as it features additional air-intakes and vents that appear ripe for a twin-turbo set-up.
In 2009, Chevrolet popularized the Nürburgring lap time as a performance benchmark in the United States. They had been there three years prior, but with the introduction of the C6 ZR1, the marketing wing really started pushing 7:xx times on the public as a signifier of home-grown world-class speed. The remainder of the C6’s run was a back-and-forth battle for ‘Ring superiority between escalating versions of America’s Sports Car, Nissan GT-R, Viper, and Porsche, and the whole thing was a lot of fun to witness! Then, almost as quickly as it showed up, lap reporting disappeared from Corvette launch literature. During this extended off-season, the Cross Flag faithful have had to settle for conjecture, Camaros, and infuriating “segment” times to scratch the gameday itch that the competition of ’09-’12 provided. Bad luck aside, we haven’t heard an official Corvette ‘Ring time since this year’s graduating class was in first grade! It’s been so long that you get the feeling that Chevrolet might just sit on future times to save face after the last twelve years of crickets.
