How Much Horsepower Does the 2025 Corvette ZR1 Have?

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 introduces a groundbreaking 5.5L LT7 twin-turbocharged DOHC V8 engine with 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb.-ft. of torque. Building upon the foundation laid by the Z06’s record-breaking LT6, this powerplant marks a monumental leap forward for Corvette performance. The ZR1 is the first factory Corvette to harness the power of twin turbochargers. Named the “Gemini V8” architecture, the LT6 program was a blueprint for this extraordinary engine. Engineers meticulously re-engineered and optimized virtually every component to accommodate forced induction rather than simply adding turbochargers to the LT6. The result is the LT7, a testament to Chevrolet’s engineering prowess and showcasing the potential of the flat-plane crankshaft engine. With thoughtful design and innovation, the LT7 delivers unprecedented performance through forced induction, setting a new benchmark for the Corvette.

 

Did the Transmission Get Upgraded in the New Chevy Corvette ZR1?

To harness the LT7’s immense power, the Corvette ZR1’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission underwent significant upgrades. Engineers reinforced the transmission’s core components, including the input shafts and gears, to handle the increased torque and stress. Enhanced oil management and larger control valves further optimize the transmission’s performance under extreme conditions. These refinements ensure seamless power delivery and lightning-fast shifts, elevating the ZR1’s driving experience to new heights.

 

Which Suspension Comes in the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1?

The Corvette ZR1 redefines aerodynamic performance, generating an unprecedented 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed. This aerodynamic dominance ensures exceptional stability and high-speed capability. The ZR1 offers two distinct aerodynamic configurations, complemented by Magnetic Ride dampers. The standard chassis boasts a sleek profile that minimizes drag while incorporating a subtle spoiler with adjustable elements. Carbon fiber accents, including a front splitter, rocker moldings, and side intakes, optimize airflow and brake cooling. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels provide optimal grip and performance. This standard setup delivers a harmonious blend of everyday comfort and track-inspired handling.

 

Does the 2025 ZR1 Have an Advanced Cooling System?

The Corvette ZR1’s dominance on the world’s toughest tracks is not solely attributed to its powerful LT7 engine. Ingenious cooling systems are integral to its sustained performance. A flow-through hood design optimizes aerodynamics and cooling, channeling air through the front grille, intercooler, and out the hood. Carbon fiber side ducts efficiently cool the rear brakes without compromising suspension travel. To manage the immense heat generated by the turbocharged engine, unique carbon fiber inlets on the coupe’s rear hatch draw in cool air to reduce turbo compressor inlet air temperatures. These advanced cooling technologies ensure that the ZR1 operates at peak performance, even in extreme conditions.

 

What is Included in the 2025 Corvette ZR1’s ZTK Performance Package?

The Corvette ZR1’s optional ZTK Performance Package transforms the car into a dedicated track weapon. Aggressive aerodynamic enhancements, including a high-downforce rear wing, front dive planes, and a tall hood Gurney lip, all constructed from carbon fiber, maximize downforce. Underneath, underbody strakes and stiffer springs further enhance grip and handling. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires provide the ultimate in-track-focused grip. Rigorously tested on demanding circuits like the Nürburgring, Road Atlanta, and Virginia International Raceway, the ZR1 ZTK package delivers unparalleled performance and handling for the most demanding driving enthusiasts.
