Rear Wheel Steering by ZF AKC System on Mid Engined Zora model
The new Cadillac CT6 has this new ZF rear wheel steering system already in production and is getting rave reviews on it's performance. The system comes in a single unit or the dual unit configuration which would be on the Mid Engined Zora model. The Zerv CAD leaks have shown a ZF DCT Transaxle and four ZF Magnetorheological engine mounts (two under the engine and two under the DCT transaxle) that have both been identified in the CAD leaked drawings. All three systems are designed to integrate with each other. Watching these latest videos of the ME in a tight turn, it sure seems to utilize this precise rear wheel steering system in tandem with the front steering system. I think that we will see all three systems on the Zora as it is a systems approach. Review the info and videos below and you will see them displayed on Zerv's leaked CAD files. I've added it to the List thread that I started.

Will no doubt not be on the base model...have to keep costs down.

Good find ......
Lots of rumors that the DCT will be a Tremec, but then lots of information in the CAD pics that points to ZF. The systems integration makes sense. An E-diff incorporated into the transaxle could work in conjunction with the RWS, and might allow some potential savings if engineered as a system rather than "bolted" together from separate vendors.

Interesting! ;)
Just a C6 tech level base for me, hopefully. Lets see just what the ME gets us in a Corvette! Interesting.
'Track Pack' and go from there!
