Over five generations of Corvettes, the ZR1 plaque has shattered records and performance barriers alike. The latest proves no different.
Finally, the latest in a long line of legendary ZR1s has arrived. The 2025 C8 Corvette ZR1 was teased by Chevrolet with the tagline “Unthinkable Speed is Coming,” which naturally prompts enthusiasts to think extensively about speed. And for good reason, considering the ZR1's bloodline is an extreme performance powerhouse.
When the ZR1 returned on the C7 in 2018, RT editor-at-large Matt Farah announced, “I knew it was going to be scary…What I did not understand was the extent to which I’d be right, and how the 2019 Corvette ZR1 would completely warp my senses of what a fast car feels like.” Once again supercharged, the new LT5 V-8 was capable of 755 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque. Of course, complications arise as power increases, primarily in the form of cooling needs.
