0-60 in just 2.3 seconds: 2025 Corvette ZR1 is a Quick Sprinter

The New Corvette ZR1 accelerates to 60 MPH in just 2.3 seconds!

Just a few months after breaking their own speed record, Chevrolet dropped another bombshell with its latest Corvette ZR1’s acceleration time, which is a mind-boggling 2.3 seconds! For reference, this timing is similar to some of the most expensive hypercars offered by Lamborghini and Aston Martin, making the 2025 ZR1 the fastest Corvette ever (yes, even faster than the hybrid Corvette E-Ray).

The Corvette ZR1 isn’t just fast—it’s blisteringly fast. We’re talking about the quickest and fastest Corvette ever made by General Motors.

What we know so far about the upcoming Corvette ZR1

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 boasts a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine that churns out a stupendous 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, allowing the ZR1 to reach a top speed of 233 mph. The ZR1, with its 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensures lightning-fast gear changes. But it’s not just about raw power and speed; the ZR1’s advanced aerodynamics, including a carbon-fiber aero package, ensure the highest downforce of any production Corvette, keeping this powerhouse grounded even at high speeds.

However, there is no active downforce technology on offer because, according to Chevrolet engineers, it isn’t needed as the car already produces an impressive maximum downforce of 1,200 lbs without any active aero technology assistance.

How Much Will the 2025 Corvette ZR1 Cost?

The official pricing for the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 hasn’t dropped yet, but it’s expected to be in the same league as high-performance heavyweights like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, McLaren 720S, and Ferrari 488 GTB. With its cutting-edge tech, beastly engine, and luxurious trimmings, you’re looking at a ballpark range of $150,000 to $200,000.

Remarkably, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 is the only car under $1 million that can hit 233 mph. How’s that for a head-turner?
