The fastest, most powerful Corvette ever is here. It’s time for the 2025 Corvette ZR1.
At the car’s heart is the LT7, a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V-8 engine. This is the first time twin turbochargers have ever appeared in a factory Corvette. The LT7 produces a staggering 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful V-8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
The latest version of Chevrolet’s mid-engine supercar is built for form and function and has a top speed of over 215 mph. It will also traverse the quarter-mile in less than 10 seconds per GM estimates. A carbon-fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed.
And the cherry on top? This model of the eight-generation Corvette even brings back the iconic split rear window.
In the video below, Josh Holder, Corvette Chief Engineer, and Brad Franz, Director – Marketing Chevrolet Cars and SUVs, go over all the impressive details of the new Corvette ZR1.
