Overview

  • The Corvette ZR1X uses GM’s LT7 twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 engine paired with an electric axle to deliver a total of 1,250 horsepower and all-wheel drive.
  • General Motors reports a top speed of 233 mph for the ZR1X and a 0–60 mph time of less than two seconds, making it the quickest production Corvette yet.
  • Stopping power comes from continuous-weave carbon-ceramic rotors by Alcon, each 16.5 inches in diameter and clamped by GM’s first 10-piston calipers.
  • The hypercar offers multiple drive modes including Endurance Mode for sustained power, Qualifying Mode for single-lap performance, and a Push-to-Pass boost.
  • Available in both coupe and convertible forms, the ZR1X is expected to start around $250,000 with pricing and dealership arrival details due later in 2025.
