Chevrolet has signaled the imminent arrival of another iteration of its performance flagship, the Corvette ZR1, with a 20-second teaser video posted to YouTube overnight.

According to Chevy, “The Unthinkable is coming this summer” which for us Aussies translates to a mid-year reveal and Detroit rumors pointing to power coming courtesy of a turbo-charged version of the current Z06’s 5.5-liter jet truck. flat. The V8 produces over 635kW (around 850hp) and over 1100Nm.

Combining that aero efficiency with the hybrid’s massive muscle and accelerating from 0-100km/h in the sub-2.0 second bracket is a near certainty.
