“ZR1X brings learnings from the ZR1 and E-Ray to create an unmatched driving experience."
Josh Holder
Corvette Chief Engineer
The turbocharged LT7 engine and electric front-drive unit work in harmony, delivering unrelenting power and near-instant torque. With advanced eAWD technology, the ZR1X offers precision handling for ultimate driver confidence — elevating Corvette to the next level as a true North American hypercar.

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
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.
Every 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.
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 for maximum control.
Activate electric-only Stealth Mode for a whisper-quiet departure. This feature allows you to drive solely using electric power for up to 4.8-6.4 kilometres at speeds up to 72 km/h.
Experience a dynamic driving transition from electric-only to full twin-turbo V8 eAWD propulsion. Start your drive in electric-only Stealth Mode, heavily press the throttle, and hang on while you unleash over 1,200 horsepower.
The compelling design of ZR1X reflects purposeful synergy in the aerodynamic and thermal management elements that support its performance capability.
Extra Cost Option. Actual model may vary. Available Features shown throughout. Additional features/combinations available at production.
Every exterior design element — including a cutting-edge collection of airflow and cooling features — was purposefully chosen to help ensure ZR1X delivers aerodynamic excellence and a precise driving experience.
Carbon fibre components
Designed with the lightweight and known strength of carbon fibre, ZR1X features a variety of standard carbon fibre elements including the front splitter, rocker panels, split rear window surround, roof panels and side air inlets, helping improve handling and performance.
Side inlets
Large side air inlets feature signature carbon fibre wishbone bezels. This, paired with the rear brake cooling ducts, allows for additional engine cooling while maximizing air intake.
Flow-through hood
The intercooler with flow-through hood and spoiler helps cool turbo-charged air to extract airflow. The front splitter, paired with an underwing and smooth underbody, helps generate suction under the vehicle to maximize downforce and reduce drag.
The potent carbon fibre high-wing spoiler, underbody strakes, hood lip gurney and carbon fibre dive planes work together to produce over 544 kg (1,200 lb.) of
Along with its unbridled performance, ZR1X offers exceptional technology. The state-of-the-art command centre features large driver displays and a low centre console — making controls more accessible and giving you a seamless driving experience.
The fully customizable Performance App displays performance data in real time. Live graphs show horsepower and torque over selectable time intervals, along with data screens related to vehicle capability.
An advanced, integrated system that adjusts traction control, stability control, and power delivery through driver-selectable modes — including PTM Pro — each designed to optimize performance across a variety of track driving conditions.
ZR1X unlocks the full potential of PTM Pro to deliver the purest driving experience. Combined with eAWD vehicle dynamics, the following features unleash even more precise handling.
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.
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.
“It truly exemplifies the meaning of hypercar with respect to pushing the boundaries for performance, technology and design.”
Trevor Hall
Corvette Program Engineering Manager
