This 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X represents the most extreme expression of the C8 Corvette architecture, combining a twin-turbocharged V8 with front-axle electrification to produce a factory-rated 1,250 horsepower. This particular example adds another layer of exclusivity as one of only 250 Corvette Stars & Steel Limited Edition models produced to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary.
Currently offered on Bring a Trailer, this black ZR1X 3LZ has covered just 156 miles since being acquired new in June 2026. Its $34,000 worth of additional factory equipment includes the ZR1X Carbon Fiber Aero Package, ZTK Performance Track Package, front-axle lift, Level 2 carbon-fiber interior trim and Competition Sport bucket seats.
The Stars & Steel package distinguishes the car from conventional ZR1X models through a deliberately patriotic specification. Chevrolet restricted the Corvette edition to 250 examples, with buyers choosing either Arctic White over a Santorini Blue interior or Black over an Adrenaline Red cabin. This example uses the latter combination, complemented by Satin Black, American-flag-inspired graphics.
The package adds an individually numbered interior plaque, exclusive sill plates, Torch Red seat belts, premium carpeted floor mats with red stitching, black exhaust tips, black lug nuts and Edge Red brake calipers. Chevrolet also offered Carbon Flash-painted forged wheels or an upgrade to lightweight visible carbon-fiber wheels.
This ZR1X is identified as build number 146 of 250, giving its limited-edition status particular significance for collectors. The Stars & Steel program was also created as a broader Chevrolet celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, with Chevrolet pledging $250 to veterans’ nonprofits for every Stars & Steel vehicle sold.
At the heart of the ZR1X is Chevrolet’s 5.5-liter LT7 twin-turbocharged V8, which drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle. A front-mounted electric motor powered by a 1.9-kWh liquid-cooled battery supplies all-wheel-drive capability. Combined output reaches 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque. The car further benefits from MagneRide suspension calibrated with ZTK performance spring rates and damping, carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and Carbon Flash 20-inch front and 21-inch rear forged wheels.
With its extraordinary powertrain, extensive carbon-fiber equipment and numbered Stars & Steel specification, this ZR1X occupies an unusual position: it is simultaneously a cutting-edge hybrid performance car and a strictly limited Corvette commemorative model.
