•The New Corvette ZR1 Pushes Engineering to Extremes
71% Informative
Since 1990 , the focal point of the Corvette ZR-1 and its nonhyphenated successors has been the engine.
The LT7 in the new 2025 model is so spectacular that reciting the specs is delicious.
It propels the ZR1 through the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds and to a top speed beyond 215 mph .
Excluding diesels, this is GM ’s fourth factory turbocharged V-8 dating to the 1962 Turbo-Rocket 215 .
The entire front end is dedicated to heat exchangers, double thick in the middle and on the sides.
Engineers designed the gearbox housing to accommodate the wider gears necessary to handle all the extra torque.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss are standard, while Pilot Sport Cup Cup 2 R tires come on the ZTK package.
The ZR1 will post impressive lap times, but getting there should be half the fun.
The key to working through the development process is “we have a very close team,” GM 's Holder says.
The car feels more compliant, more daily -driver capable than a Z06 , he says.
