With GM’s president behind the wheel, the 2025 ZR1 has claimed its title as the fastest production Corvette the world has ever known
The 2025 Corvette ZR1 hit 233 mph in testing, making it GM’s fastest production car ever. The top speed run was achieved by a bone-stock ZR1, driven by GM President Mark Reuss. Powered by a 5.5L twin-turbo V8, the Corvette ZR1 delivers 1,064 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque. How fast is fast? For the 1,000-plus horsepower 2025 Corvette ZR1, the answer is 233.45 mph to be precise—18 mph more than initially stated during the presentation—officially crowning it GM’s fastest production car ever.
GM also proudly calls it the fastest car ever built by an American auto manufacturer, which holds true if you limit the playing field to Detroit’s Big Three. However, when you factor in special or limited run American hypercars like the $1.6 million SSC Tuatara that reached 295 mph, or Hennessey’s $3 million Venom F5 with its 271.6 mph run, the ZR1 falls behind.
