The 2025 Corvette ZR1 combines purposeful design with a return to heritage, highlighted by the reintroduction of the iconic split-window rear. Last seen on the C2 Corvette and previewed on the Z06 GT3.R, this carbon-fiber spine—offered in exposed weave or body color—acts as both a visual signature and a functional cooling aid, helping vent heat from the engine bay.
Together with advanced cooling systems and a lightweight carbon-fiber roof, it enhances aerodynamics, reduces weight, and lowers the center of gravity for sharper handling. Power comes from the all-new 5.5-liter LT7 twin-turbocharged DOHC V8, producing 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque.
Evolved from the Z06’s LT6, America’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8, the LT7 introduces factory twin turbos to the Corvette lineup for the first time. Known as the “Gemini V8,” this engine makes the ZR1 the most powerful Corvette ever, capable of surpassing 215 mph and completing the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds.
