The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 redefines performance with 1,064 horsepower, a 2.3-second 0-60 time, and a $200,000 price tag.
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is making waves as the most powerful and fastest Corvette in General Motors' history. With a jaw-dropping 1,064 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine, the ZR1 sets a new benchmark for performance in the sports car segment, rivaling elite supercars at a fraction of their cost.
Performance That Rivals the Best
The ZR1 rockets from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.3 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in just 9.6 seconds at 150 mph—all while using standard 93-octane pump gas. Achieving a top speed of 233 mph, this Corvette firmly plants itself in the supercar territory, taking on hybrid rivals like the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80. Notably, these performance figures were achieved without a prepped drag strip, underscoring the car’s raw capabilities.
The ZTK Performance Package
Key to unlocking the ZR1’s full potential is the optional ZTK Performance Package. This add-on includes a high-downforce aerodynamics kit, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, and enhancements to traction and stability. While the standard ZR1 is no slouch—hitting 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and running a quarter-mile in 9.7 seconds—the ZTK package pushes the car into hypercar performance levels.
Pure Power, No Hybrid Assistance
Unlike many of its high-performance competitors, the Corvette ZR1 achieves these feats without hybrid technology. This makes it a standout in a market increasingly dominated by electrified supercars. Instead, Chevrolet has focused on refining traditional engineering, ensuring the ZR1 remains a pure driver’s car with unmatched performance in its class.
A Price That Defies Expectations
With an expected starting price around $200,000, the ZR1 offers an incredible value compared to similarly performing supercars. Chevrolet's chief engineer, Josh Holder, emphasized this, saying, "The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations," highlighting its ability to compete with vehicles costing significantly more.
A True Performance Milestone
The 2025 Corvette ZR1 demonstrates Chevrolet’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance. By achieving extraordinary results with innovative aerodynamics, precision engineering, and raw power, the ZR1 is not just a car—it’s a statement. For enthusiasts seeking supercar thrills without the seven-figure price tag, the ZR1 offers an unmatched package of speed, value, and driving exhilaration.
This Corvette is more than just a car—it’s a new standard for American performance vehicles, proving that the legacy of the Corvette is alive and accelerating into the future.
