The British high-performance vehicle retailer Clive Sutton has announced the import of the first examples of the new Corvette ZR1 available in Europe for the UK market.
Regarded as one of today’s most sought-after supercars, the model is now being offered to an extremely limited group of clients and collectors.
The first cars to arrive include a ZR1 finished in Competition Yellow, equipped with the full carbon-fiber aerodynamic package, and a second example in black with twin red racing stripes.
Both are part of an extremely limited initial production run, with fewer than 200 units built in 2025, a factor that significantly increases the model’s exclusivity and appreciation potential.
According to Clive Sutton, founder and CEO of the company, the arrival of the ZR1 keeps alive the brand’s tradition of bringing some of the world’s most coveted automobiles to the UK. He notes that two of the first three imported examples have already been sold, signalling demand that is likely to outstrip supply for this American supercar.
The company handles the entire process of acquisition, international transport, homologation and registration, offering customers a complete experience from order to delivery.
Powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8, the Corvette ZR1 delivers an impressive 1,064 hp, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, and can reach a top speed of up to 233 mph.
In June last year, the model also demonstrated its sporting credentials by recording a lap time of 6:50.76 at the Nürburgring circuit, placing it on par with leading European supercars.
At present, the black ZR1 is already reserved, as is the third example due to arrive shortly. The fully specified Competition Yellow model remains available for a buyer interested in joining a select group of European owners. Sutton also confirms it can facilitate new factory orders, in both coupé and convertible versions, all equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Beyond extreme performance, the ZR1 features advanced aerodynamics, adaptive suspension, and a package engineered to deliver stability on both road and track. Inside, the supercar combines driver-focused ergonomics, premium materials, and updated connectivity technologies, allowing it to be used day-to-day without sacrificing its sporting character.
Corvette ZR1 pricing
With U.S. prices reaching up to $100,000 above the factory suggested retail price, the import route via Sutton presents itself as a competitive alternative for the British market.
Taking into account transport costs, a 10% import duty, 20% VAT, homologation and registration, final UK prices range between £365,000 and £425,000, depending on specification.
