Take a closer look at the hottest Corvette ever
It’s the mind-bending power and performance figures of the Chevrolet Corvette ZRX1 that have made the headlines over the last few days, and rightly so, but let’s not take away the fact that it’s also got the visual punch to back up its hypercar-level speed. Here’s a look at the newest Corvette from every angle.

The exterior of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is seen here black, with a red center stripe and the ZTK Performance Package.

From above, we can see the aggressive hood and the large rear wing. The various aerodynamic enhancements to this model create 1,200 lbs of downforce.

The Corvette is nearly as mean to look at without the rear wing. This example is finished in Blade Silver Metallic, but buyers can also get the car in eye-popping shades like Sebring Orange and Competition Yellow.

A quad-exit exhaust system peaks out of the back. While it makes a stunning noise at full throttle, an electric-only Stealth Mode enables driving on electric power alone at up to 45 mph, but only for 4 to 5 miles.

Massive performance means massive breaks, and the ZRX1 boasts 10-piston front calipers and six-piston items at the back. The carbon ceramic rotors measure 16.5 inches, now the biggest ever fitted to a Corvette.

The flow-through hood assists with optimal airflow, while the front splitter and underwing creates suction under the car to improve downforce and lower drag.

A very special engine powers this Corvette. The 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8 is boosted by two 76mm turbos. This, together with a front-axle electric motor, develops 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft combined. The 0-60 time is under two seconds, and the manufacturer estimates a quarter-mile sprint of below nine seconds.

The basic layout of the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZRX1’s interior will be familiar to those who have driven other Corvettes. A new three-screen layout and updated center console form part of the changes.

Even the base 1LZ gets eight-way power-adjustable GT1 or Competition sports seats. If you go for the 3LZ, expect heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats.
10
High-quality leather and stitching are everywhere, and there’s a Bose sound system with between 10 and 14 speakers, depending on the trim.
11
The center section features glossy carbon fiber trim, dual cupholders, and a wireless charging pad.
12
As with the exterior, the interior is highly customizable. There are at least 20 different color combinations, including the Adrenaline Red seen here.
13
Customers can obtain plenty of information from the ZR1X’s Performance App, including tire temperatures and horsepower/torque over specific time intervals.
