2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR Centennial Edition

The C6-generation Corvette ZR1 represented Chevrolet's most ambitious production Corvette to that point, combining extensive carbon-fiber construction with supercharged LS9 power and a chassis developed to support genuine supercar performance. For 2012, Chevrolet added another layer of significance with the Centennial Edition, created to commemorate the company's 100th anniversary and offered on the ZR1 exclusively with the premium 3ZR equipment group. This 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR Centennial Edition shows just 7,345 miles and carries documented provenance from NASCAR champion and noted Corvette enthusiast Erik Jones. Jones' connection to the marque extends well beyond this car, including his family's involvement in the Corvette restoration and parts business and his own collection of personal Corvettes. The Centennial Edition is identified by RPO ZLC and is finished in Carbon Flash Metallic. Chevrolet paired the finish with exclusive crossed-flags emblems and Louis Chevrolet 100th anniversary graphics on the B-pillars, while the ZR1's lightweight construction incorporates extensive carbon fiber, including its front fenders, hood, exposed carbon-fiber front splitter and roof structure. A distinctive polycarbonate window in the hood provides a view of the LS9's supercharger beneath. Centennial-specific Cup aluminum wheels measure 19"x10" up front and 20"x12" at the rear, finished in satin black with distinctive red perimeter stripes and unique Louis Chevrolet center caps. They mount Michelin Pilot Sport run-flat tires measuring 285mm up front and a substantial 335mm at the rear, while red brake calipers complete the Centennial package, adding an aggressive contrast. Under the hood is the ZR1's hand-assembled 6.2L LS9 supercharged V8, factory rated at 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque. The LS9 features an Eaton supercharger, intercooling and a dry-sump oiling system developed to maintain consistent lubrication during high-performance driving. A Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission sends that output rearward, incorporating a short-throw shifter and launch control. The ZR1 was engineered around far more than its headline horsepower, with dedicated engine, transmission and differential cooling systems supporting the drivetrain. Four-wheel independent suspension with aluminum control arms works with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, while Brembo carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 15.5" front and 15" rear rotors provide stopping power. The result was genuine supercar performance, with Chevrolet rating the ZR1 for a 205-mph top speed. The 2012 ZR1 platform further demonstrated its capabilities at Germany's Nürburgring Nordschleife, where the 2012 ZR1 platform demonstrated performance among some of the world's fastest production cars. Inside, the 3ZR equipment group provides the ZR1's highest-level interior specification, further distinguished by the Centennial Edition treatment. The Ebony cabin features a leather-wrapped dash and doors with red contrast stitching, complemented by sueded microfiber seat inserts and matching material on the steering wheel and shifter. Centennial insignia appear on the seats and steering wheel, while satin black trim carries the commemorative theme into the cockpit. Factory equipment includes heated seats, a power telescoping steering column, head-up display, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and premium audio. The result is a cabin that combines the C6 ZR1's driver-focused layout with the additional materials and detailing specific to the 3ZR Centennial Edition. With just 7,345 miles, this 2012 Corvette ZR1 3ZR Centennial Edition pairs one of the most significant configurations of the C6 era with documented ownership by NASCAR champion and Corvette enthusiast Erik Jones. Its low mileage, distinctive Centennial specification and enthusiast provenance make it a compelling example of Chevrolet's supercharged C6 flagship.
