The Chevrolet Corvette continues to set the standard for American sports cars. Recent track testing confirms the Corvette ZR1X and ZR1 are the fastest cars from an American manufacturer, proving Chevy's ability to compete with the world's elite.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Even with a non-professional racecar driver behind the wheel, the Corvette ZR1 managed a 6:50.763 lap around 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 offers blistering acceleration, a top speed of 233 mph, and precise handling. The optional ZTK Performance Package helps drivers chase optimal lap times and includes several truck-focused upgrades, such as Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and a distinctive aero kit. While engineered for performance, the ZR1 remains comfortable on the street, featuring standard amenities 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 things further. It uses the same engine but adds an electric front-drive unit to push output to 1,250 horsepower. On the Nürburgring, the ZR1X posted a 6:49.275 lap. Its cutting-edge eAWD system monitors tire conditions to ensure maximum grip.
