The 2025 Corvette ZR1, the fastest Corvette ever, has set new performance benchmarks with its speed and power.
Equipped with a 1,064 horsepower engine, the ZR1 can achieve 0-60 mph (0-96.5 km/h) in just 2.3 seconds when fitted with the ZTK Performance Package.
The standard ZR1 is no slouch either, reaching 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and completing the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds. Both configurations highlight the Corvette's capability as a top-performing sports car.
“The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations,” chief engineer of Corvette, Josh Holde said.
“Combined with a top speed record of 233 mph (374.977 km/h) – which is unrivaled by any current production car priced under $1 million – the Corvette ZR1 delivers on its mission to provide customers unrelenting power.”
The ZTK package enhances the ZR1's track capabilities with high-downforce Carbon Fibre Aero Package and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tyres, allowing for quick, repeatable launches. This combination of power and precision makes the ZR1 a standout vehicle both on the track and as a grand touring car.
The Corvette's Launch Control and Custom Launch Control features play a crucial role in its impressive performance, managing tire spin and transmission clutch application to ensure rapid acceleration.
These features are standard across the Corvette lineup, from the Stingray to the ZR1, providing drivers with the tools to optimise acceleration runs.
Its record-breaking performance reaffirms its position as a leader in the high-performance sports car market.
