We’re still trying to wrap our brains around the new 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 housing a twin-turbocharged, 5.5-litre DOHC flat-plane crank V8 that delivers 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. It’s a massive boost from the previous-generation ZR1 (755 horsepower), let alone the current Corvette Z06 (670 horsepower) and gas-electric Corvette E-Ray (655 horsepower).
Chevy engineers have developed quite simply the most potent V8 ever produced in North America from an auto manufacturer. And remember, there’s a fully electric Corvette on the way, too, possibly called “Zora.” What will that one be like? The bar has just been raised extremely high.
