Chevrolet has officially announced that the 2025 Corvette ZR1 will be making its debut on July 25. The company released a teaser video on their YouTube channel, giving us a glimpse of the ZR1 and allowing us to hear its powerful exhaust note.
The new ZR1 is expected to come equipped with a tuned-up version of the 5.5-liter V-8 engine found in the Z06, potentially pushing out over 800 horsepower. This would make it even more potent than the already impressive 670-hp Corvette Z06. The ZR1 is likely to feature turbochargers to achieve this level of performance.
Chevy has been spotted testing camouflaged prototypes of the ZR1 at the Nürburgring in Germany, showcasing two different wing designs. One version had a high-running rear wing similar to the Z06, while the other had a taller wing with a wider mainplane and larger endplates. It remains to be seen if Chevy will offer multiple aero packages for the ZR1.
As we eagerly await the official debut of the 2025 Corvette ZR1, more information about its features and options is expected to be revealed. The car is estimated to start around $150,000 and is likely to hit Chevy showrooms in early 2025.
