A Hennessey-tuned 1,000-horsepower 2019 Corvette ZR1 with the ZTK Track Performance Package offers hypercar thrills without the sky-high price tag.
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has long been a benchmark for American performance, but Hennessey Performance Engineering has taken it to an entirely new level. A 2019 C7 Corvette ZR1 equipped with Hennessey’s HPE1000 package is now on the market, delivering hypercar-level power for a fraction of the price.
When the C7 ZR1 was introduced, its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produced an impressive 755 horsepower. However, in today’s escalating horsepower wars, those numbers pale compared to the 1,000 hp and 966 lb-ft of torque unleashed by Hennessey’s upgrades. The Texas-based tuner achieved this remarkable figure by installing an array of performance enhancements, including new valve springs, retainers, valves, lifters, pushrods, a high-flow air intake, revised lower supercharger pulley, long tube stainless steel headers, high-flow catalytic converters, and an ECU retune to optimize it all.
Despite the transformation under the hood, this Arctic White ZR1 retains its understated exterior appearance, with subtle Hennessey badging as the only hint of its monstrous capabilities. It comes equipped with Chevrolet’s optional ZTK Track Performance Package, which adds an adjustable rear wing, a large front splitter, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires mounted on staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. These features enhance its aerodynamics and grip, ensuring the power can be harnessed effectively.
With just ~5,000 miles (~8,000 km) on the odometer, this ZR1 remains in excellent condition, offering a rare opportunity to own a car that bridges the gap between supercars and hypercars. The eight-speed automatic transmission channels all that power to the rear wheels, making for a driving experience that is as thrilling as it is visceral.
While the C8 ZR1 promises to redefine Corvette performance yet again, this HPE1000 C7 ZR1 stands as a testament to the raw, unfiltered power of the front-engine era. If you’re seeking a hypercar experience at a supercar price, this modified ZR1 might be the ultimate answer. Interested buyers can place bids now via Bring a Trailer, but act fast—this high-octane machine won’t stay available for long.
