The Chevrolet Corvette remains a standout in the high-performance sports car category. Recent track results show the Corvette ZR1X and ZR1 are now the fastest cars from an American manufacturer, proving Chevy can compete with the best internationally.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Even with a non-professional racecar driver behind the wheel, the Corvette ZR1 achieved a 6:50.763 lap at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. This mid-engine supercar is powered by a 5.5L, twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 rated at 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque.
The new Corvette ZR1 boasts blistering acceleration and a top speed of 233 mph, complemented by precise handling. The available ZTK Performance Package helps drivers achieve quicker lap times and includes several truck-focused upgrades, such as Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and a distinct aero kit. Despite its performance focus, the ZR1 remains comfortable on public roads, with standard equipment such as 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 takes performance even higher. It utilizes the same engine, with an added electric front-drive unit, to increase output to 1,250 horsepower. The ZR1X posted a 6:49.275 lap at the Nürburgring. Its advanced eAWD system constantly monitors tire conditions to maintain maximum traction.
