The British retailer specializing in high-performance vehicles Clive Sutton has announced the import of the first examples of the new Corvette ZR1 available in Europe for the UK market.
Considered 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 boosts 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 cars to the UK. He notes that two of the first three imported examples have already been sold, signaling 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 seamless 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 proved its sporting credentials by recording a 6:50.76 lap time at the Nürburgring, placing it on par with leading European supercars.
Currently, the black ZR1 is already reserved, as is the third example set to arrive soon. The fully equipped Competition Yellow model remains available for a buyer looking to join a select group of European owners. Sutton also confirms it can facilitate new factory orders in both coupé and convertible versions, all fitted with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Beyond extreme performance, the ZR1 features advanced aerodynamics, adaptive suspension, and a setup designed to deliver stability on both road and track. Inside, the supercar combines driver-focused ergonomics, premium materials, and updated connectivity technologies, allowing for everyday usability without sacrificing its sporting character.
Corvette ZR1 pricing
With prices in the United States reaching up to $100,000 above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, the Sutton import route presents itself as a competitive alternative for the UK market.
Taking into account transport costs, a 10% import duty, 20% VAT, homologation, and registration, final prices in the UK range between £365,000 and £425,000, depending on specification.
