Chevrolet has introduced the fastest, most powerful Corvette ever: the '25 Corvette ZR1.
The ZR1 is powered by a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7, Chevrolet said, which can produce 1,064 hp and 828 lb.-ft. of torque. Those figures make it the most power ever from a factory Corvette and push the ZR1's top speed to a GM-estimated 215 mph.
The ZR1's 5.5L LT7 twin-turbocharged DOHC V8 engine starts with the same architecture as Z06's LT6, and adds twin turbochargers, a first for a factory Corvette.
Additionally, Chevrolet outfitted the model with a carbon-fiber aerodynamics package that creates more than 1,200 lbs. of downforce at top speed, and also brought back the split rear window, last seen on the C2 Corvette.
