The new Corvette ZR1 is quite remarkable. With one thousand and sixty-four horsepower, it outmatches the Corvette Z06 by nearly 400 horsepower and exceeds the power of supercars like the Ferrari SF90 XX and hybrid hypercars such as the McLaren P1, LaFerrari, and Porsche 918.
Surprisingly, all this power comes from a single 5.5-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine without any hybrid assistance. As a result, the ZR1 is exclusively rear-wheel drive, which means each back tyre has over 500 horsepower.
Beyond its impressive power output, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 boasts several other remarkable attributes.
