Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics? ZR1 takes it beyond. Cutting-edge design like wide side air inlets, carbon-fiber elements, and a multitude of airflow and cooling features result in the ZR1 having the highest downforce of any production
Flow-Through Hood and ground effects
The new intercooler with flow-through hood and spoiler helps cool turbo-charged air to extract airflow. The front splitter, paired with an underwing and smooth underbody helps generate suction under the vehicle to maximize downforce and reduce drag.
Side Inlets
Large side air inlets feature signature carbon-fiber wishbone bezels. This paired with the new rear brake cooling ducts allow for additional engine cooling while maximizing air intake.
Available ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package
The potent carbon-fiber wing, underbody strakes and carbon-fiber dive planes work together to produce the highest downforce of any production Corvette in
“The ZR1 is the ultimate expression of aerodynamics, of horsepower, of exoticness, of styling.”

Design
Power is boldly conveyed in the body design with stunning smooth lines and alluring geometry. Inside, everything caters to you, from the driver-centric cockpit to the excellent material quality and bespoke options.
Split rear window and hatch intakes
One of the most unique and recognizable Corvette attributes now features ventilation and a louvered spine for increased engine bay cooling – integrating form and function. This is paired with new carbon-fiber hatch intakes to draw in colder air for improved engine performance.
New available 10-Spoke Visible Carbon-Fiber Wheel
Designed with the known strength of carbon fiber to reduce section width and mass and improve aerodynamics.
Covered underbody
A smooth underbody minimizes drag and reduces turbulence underneath ZR1 and also helps to engage downforce.
“Everything you see on the outside of the ZR1 has functional purpose – and many of them have more than one functional purpose."
Josh Holder
Corvette Chief Engineer
Interior
Fusing luxury and performance, ZR1 continues to uphold a reputation for superior craftsmanship. Top-of-the-line detailing and premium amenities hit the mark for the ultimate expression of innovation.
“We definitely wanted to focus on luxury materials, so really getting the quality Napa leather, those heavier stitches, and making sure the accent details were all honed in."
