Watch the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 hit its top speed
The only true way to get a bankable top speed number is to run twice on the longest piece of pavement you can find, once with the wind and once against it, then average the two runs. The 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1 did just that at a test track in Papenburg, Germany, and logged 212 mph as its two-way average, with 210 and 214 mph in the runs. That puts it in the upper echelon of cars as a whole and makes it faster than supercars like the Audi R8, Ferrari F12 and Porsche 918 Spyder.
