The 2025 Corvette ZR1 has redefined speed, becoming the quickest Corvette ever with an astonishing 1,064 horsepower from its 5.5L twin-turbocharged LT7 V8 engine.
Paired with the optional ZTK Performance Package, it rockets from 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds and completes the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds, making it a true supercar competitor.
The standard ZR1 isn’t far behind, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a quarter mile in 9.7 seconds. Both versions boast a top speed of 233 mph, setting a benchmark for production cars priced under $1 million.

“The 2025 Corvette ZR1 exceeded our expectations,” said Josh Holder, Corvette’s chief engineer. “With record-breaking speed and performance, it fulfills its promise of delivering unrelenting power.”
The ZR1’s versatility shines with its balance between track performance and grand touring comfort. The ZTK package features a Carbon Fiber Aero Package that generates over 1,200 pounds of downforce, paired with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires for superior grip.
Meanwhile, the standard aero ZR1 reaches a faster quarter-mile trap speed of 152 mph. All performance tests were conducted using 93 octane fuel on non-prepped surfaces.
Key innovations like Launch Control and Custom Launch Control optimize acceleration, managing tire spin and clutch engagement for consistent, repeatable launches. Drivers can fine-tune launch RPM and wheel slip targets directly from steering wheel controls, adding to the car’s adaptability.
