Unlocking next-level power

Harnessing 1,064 horsepower from the LT7 engine, plus an additional 186 horsepower from the electric front drive unit, the ZR1X achieves a combined total of 1,250 horsepower — making it the most powerful production Corvette ever.

Electric all-wheel-drive technology (2:10)

With eAWD, ZR1X is capable of extraordinary performance. Intelligent eAWD controls have pushed the envelope of vehicle dynamics, including expanding usable high voltage charge energy and increasing front axle torque for the ZR1X, giving you the extreme acceleration and responsiveness you crave.

Performance (1:59)

The Corvette engineering team came together with a singular mission: to design and build the best hypercar in the world. ZR1X combines the twin-turbo LT7 V8, an electrified front axle, adaptive front suspension and eAWD technology, creating a performance vehicle unlike any other Corvette.

Ultimate stopping power

Extreme power calls for equally extreme stopping ability. ZR1X’s standard carbon ceramic brakes — Corvette's largest ever — are engineered for ultimate performance. Massive 16.5-inch front and rear rotors pair with Alcon® 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers to deliver superior heat resistance and ultra-responsive braking.

PTM Pro Mode

ZR1X unlocks the full potential of PTM Pro to deliver the purest driving experience. Combined with eAWD vehicle dynamics, the following features unleash precision handling and the fastest possible lap times.

Regen Brake Torque Vectoring

Engineered to recover peak energy without sacrificing agility. While trail braking into a racetrack corner with maximum regenerative recovery, the advanced controls bias rear inside brake pressure to maintain optimal chassis balance.

Front Axle Pre-Control

Actively manages inside front brake pressure to control on-throttle wheel flares, ensuring consistent grip and composed handling at the limit.

  • Racetrack Electric Energy Strategies

    ZR1X features specialized energy strategies designed to maximize electric output based on specific track session demands:

    Endurance

    Optimized for extended lapping and consistent eAWD performance.

    Qualifying

    Energy optimized for ultimate one-lap pace. Designed to break track records.

    Push-to-Pass

    Maximum power is unleashed — delivering a surge of acceleration designed to overtake competitors on the track.
