The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is the first turbocharged Corvette, featuring an impressive 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine that produces 1,064 horsepower, making it the most powerful Corvette ever produced.

With an estimated top speed of over 346 km/h, the ZR1 is designed to compete with the best supercars in the world. During testing, the model demonstrated exceptional performance, completing a lap around the Nürburgring at over 320 km/h.

In addition to its power, the ZR1 boasts several upgrades over the Z06, including an exclusive intake system and 828 lb-ft of torque available at 3,000 rpm. The new LT7 engine features significant differences from the LT6, such as a lower compression ratio and an anti-lag system.

The ZR1 also features an advanced aerodynamic structure, including a continuous-flow hood and cooling ducts to improve track efficiency. Inside, the ZR1 retains the signature Corvette design, with a digital instrument panel and a cargo space that accommodates two golf bags.

Expected to begin production next year at GM’s Kentucky plant, the ZR1 will have a price tag higher than the Corvette E-Ray, which starts around $106,000, with the fully equipped model anticipated to reach or exceed $200,000.
