Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X - Full Tech Specs and Performance

via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qti373QIIag

This is the new 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X — the most extreme and technologically advanced Corvette ever built.

Under the rear hatch is a hand-assembled 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged LT7 V8, producing a massive 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque. This flat-plane-crank engine revs to 8,000 rpm and uses a unique “maniturbo” design, where the exhaust manifold and turbo housing are combined into one compact unit. The result is lightning-fast spool, reduced lag, and brutal mid-range power.

At the front axle, an upgraded electric motor from the Corvette E-Ray adds another 186 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. Combined system output is 1,250 horsepower, delivered through a fully electrified all-wheel-drive setup with torque vectoring for maximum grip and agility.

Performance is hypercar-level. Zero to sixty takes under two seconds. The quarter-mile less than nine seconds at over 150 miles per hour. The front motor stays engaged up to 160 mph, then decouples to reduce drag and maximize top-end performance.

Drivers can opt for two distinct chassis setups. The standard package uses Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and next-gen Magnetic Ride Control for street-focused balance. The ZTK track pack stiffens everything up, swaps in Michelin Cup 2R tires, and adds more aggressive aero calibration for serious cornering.

Speaking of aero, the optional Carbon Aero package includes front dive planes, a hood extractor, underbody strakes, and a massive rear wing. Total downforce can reach up to 1,200 pounds, keeping the car planted even at triple-digit speeds.

Braking is just as serious. Carbon-ceramic rotors come standard — 16.5 inches up front with massive 10-piston calipers. In testing, the ZR1X pulled up to 1.9 g of deceleration when braking from 180 to 120 miles per hour.

Built in Bowling Green with precision and performance in mind, the 2026 Corvette ZR1X is more than a supercar — it’s a declaration that America can build a hypercar.

Is the new #Chevrolet #Corvette #ZR1 the Fastest Car Ever Made? #supercars #automobile #exotic #gm

via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGWQUs49Vo

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 marks a new benchmark in American supercar engineering, combining advanced aerodynamics, powertrain innovation, and motorsport-derived performance.

At its core is the LT7 engine, a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft. This engine produces 1,064 HPr at 7,000 rpm and 825 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm, making it the most powerful V8 engine ever by GM.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch 8-speed transmission that has been reinforced to handle the increased torque. Chevrolet estimates 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 215 mph. In private testing, the ZR1 has achieved verified runs over 230 mph, including a peak of 233 mph.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 marks a new benchmark in American supercar engineering, combining advanced aerodynamics, powertrain innovation, and motorsport-derived performance.

At its core is the LT7 engine, a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft. This engine produces 1,064 HPr at 7,000 rpm and 825 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm, making it the most powerful V8 engine ever by GM.

The LT7 is a significant evolution of the naturally aspirated LT6 found in the Corvette Z06. Key changes include forged aluminum pistons, strengthened connecting rods, and twin 76 mm ball-bearing turbochargers integrated into the exhaust manifolds. The engine also features an anti-lag system that maintains boost pressure during throttle lift-off, ensuring immediate power delivery when re-engaged.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch 8-speed transmission that has been reinforced to handle the increased torque. Chevrolet estimates 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 215 mph. In private testing, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 has achieved verified runs over 230 mph, including a peak of 233.

Standard models of the 2025 Corvette ZR1 feature a front splitter, underbody strakes, and an active rear spoiler. With the available ZTK package, the ZR1 gains a large fixed rear wing, dive planes, and additional carbon-fiber components. Combined, these upgrades provide over 1,200 pounds of downforce.

Chassis tuning includes Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and a track-optimized suspension geometry. The ZR1 is equipped with Michelin tires—20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear. Braking is handled by carbon-ceramic rotors, measuring 15.7 inches in front and 15.4 inches in the rear, with electronic brake boost providing consistent stopping power.

Cooling performance has been enhanced through several functional design elements. A center-mounted intercooler evacuates heat through a vented hood, while additional ducts in the front fascia and rear quarter panels direct airflow to critical systems. Roof and rear window have been optimized for thermal management.
