2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Delivers a New Level of Performance

Welcome to a new level of performance. 

Performance that was inconceivable on any Corvette – ever.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is coming soon. What was once absurd is now a reality. 

The eighth-generation Corvette has been raised up to a new level. Some even say it will have the performance of a hypercar. Never before has that term ever been used in the history of the Corvette. 

The new LT7 engine is beyond belief. The mid-engine mounted 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 is where the reality begins. This new engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 RPM. It also puts down 828 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 RPM. 

These numbers are real. It is a new benchmark in the seven-decade history of the Corvette. In fact, this is the most powerful V8 engine ever produced in America by an automotive manufacturer. This engine was re-engineered to add a boost from two turbochargers beyond the block outward. Chevrolet also worked on the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to handle the extra performance this engine now produces. 

The results of what this engine can yield are unbelievable. On the racetrack, it can go a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 MPH. GM estimated a sub-10-second time running the quarter mile on the drag strip. 

How do you distinguish a ZR1 from any other Corvette? The ZR1 adds a purposeful carbon fiber aerodynamic package from the front splitter to the rear spoiler. Combined, this package creates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed. 

Another distinction is a nod to the past. In 1963, the second-generation Corvette shaped a distinctive design element on its Sting Ray coupe – the split rear window. Two panes of glass meeting at the middle of the fastback was something special back then.

It is back. The ZR1 now wears a split rear window above its engine compartment. Both ”windows” meet at a center carbon fiber spine. You can opt to have that spine exposed with the carbon fiber finish or to have it match the paint color. 

All of this was once considered unthinkable. It took over seven decades to get to this point. We hope you’re ready to experience the unimaginable.
