Chevrolet has officially announced pricing and details for the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the fastest and most powerful Corvette in history. With a jaw-dropping 1,064 horsepower and a blazing top speed of 233 mph, this new iteration of the Corvette is set to dominate the supercar landscape. Designed to offer unparalleled performance at a fraction of the price of its competitors, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a testament to American engineering excellence.
Starting at $174,995 for the 1LZ coupe and $184,995 for the 1LZ convertible, this Corvette delivers performance that rivals and even surpasses many European supercars costing over $1 million. Available in two trims—1LZ and 3LZ—the ZR1 offers a blend of raw power, advanced aerodynamics, and luxurious options that make it a force to be reckoned with.
A Record-Breaking Engine
At the heart of the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the hand-assembled 5.5L twin-turbocharged LT7 V8 engine. This monster churns out 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm, making it the most powerful factory Corvette ever produced. This is also the most powerful V8 engine ever built by an American automaker, showcasing Chevrolet’s commitment to pushing the limits of performance.
With a 0-60 mph time of just 2.3 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 9.6 seconds at 150 mph, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the quickest Corvette ever. These staggering figures make it not only the fastest car ever built by Chevrolet but also one of the fastest production cars in the world.
Aerodynamics and Design Excellence
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 isn’t just about raw power—it’s also a masterpiece of aerodynamics. Every inch of its design is purposeful, from the carbon fiber ground effects to the visible carbon fiber roof. The car’s aerodynamics package generates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed, ensuring it remains stable and planted even when pushing the limits.
For those seeking ultimate track performance, Chevrolet offers the Carbon Fiber Aero Package for $8,495. This package adds a high-downforce rear wing, front dive planes, and a tall hood spoiler, all designed to maximize grip and control. When paired with the ZTK Performance Package ($1,500), the ZR1 transforms into the ultimate track weapon, offering an unmatched driving experience.
Trim Levels and Luxurious Features
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 comes in two trims: 1LZ and 3LZ. The 1LZ trim offers a more performance-focused setup, while the 3LZ trim adds a touch of luxury. Standard features across all models include carbon ceramic brakes, a Performance Data Recorder, and advanced driver-assistance systems.
The 3LZ trim, starting at $185,995 for the coupe and $195,995 for the convertible, offers additional premium features like heated and ventilated Napa leather seats, a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system, and a custom leather-wrapped interior. These touches make the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 not just a performance beast but also a comfortable and refined everyday supercar.
Competing With the World’s Best
When compared to its rivals, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 offers unmatched value. Competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, McLaren 765LT, and Ferrari SF90 XX fall short on horsepower and top speed while costing significantly more. For example, the McLaren 765LT starts at $382,500, and the Ferrari SF90 XX begins at $528,764, making the ZR1’s $174,995 starting price an incredible bargain for such performance.
With a top speed of 233 mph and over 1,000 horsepower, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 stands as the pinnacle of American supercar engineering. It’s not just a car; it’s a statement that high performance doesn’t have to come with a seven-figure price tag.
Production and Availability
Production of the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will begin in Q2 at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. Orders will open in mid-February, so enthusiasts interested in owning this record-breaking supercar should contact their preferred Corvette dealer soon.
Whether you’re a die-hard Corvette fan or simply someone looking for a supercar that offers unmatched performance for the price, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a game-changer. With its combination of raw power, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious features, this Corvette is set to leave a lasting mark on the automotive world.
