The legendary Chevrolet Corvette remains a standout in the world of high-performance sports cars. Track tests have proven that the Corvette ZR1X and ZR1 models are now the fastest cars from an American manufacturer. This further showcases Chevy's ability to engineer vehicles that can compete against the world's best.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Even with a non-professional racecar driver behind the wheel, the Corvette ZR1 recorded a 6:50.763 lap time at the iconic Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Motivating this mid-engine supercar is a 5.5L, twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8. It's rated to develop a sensational 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque.
The new Corvette ZR1 offers thrilling acceleration and boasts a top speed of 233 mph, and it also allows you to experience precise handling. An available ZTK Performance Package helps drivers achieve the best possible lap times. It comes with several track-focused upgrades — think high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and a bespoke aero kit. Still, the ZR1 isn't all business: it's comfortable on the street, too. Standard equipment includes a Bose premium sound system, a Rear Camera Mirror, and a high-resolution infotainment screen with Google Built-In.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X
The Corvette ZR1X elevates performance to another level. While it uses the same engine, an electric front-drive unit increases production to 1,250 horsepower. When tested at Nürburgring, the Corvette ZR1X recorded a sensational lap time of 6:49.275. Another exclusive feature of the Corvette ZR1X is its state-of-the-art eAWD system, which continuously monitors tire conditions to ensure maximum grip.
