Monday 24th April 1995

The last Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 was produced, although the ceremony celebrating the car came four days later. Nicknamed “The King of the Hill,” the ZR-1 was built from 1990 to 1995; a total of 6,939 ZR-1s were produced over the six-year period. GM’s intention with the car was to build the ultimate sports car in terms of both price and performance. With its top speed of 180 mph, the ZR-1 was the fastest production Corvette ever built.
