Jay Leno recently got an up-close look at Chevrolet’s new C8-generation Corvette ZR1 on Jay Leno’s Garage. Leno, a legendary figure in the automotive world, was joined by GM President Mark Reuss to explore the ZR1’s incredible capabilities.

The new ZR1 boasts a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine, delivering a jaw-dropping 1,064 horsepower. Leno, visibly impressed, noted that achieving similar performance from a European sports car would cost millions.
