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 (0:00)

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 (1:50)

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.

ZR1X’s standard carbon ceramic brakes.

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 for maximum control.

Stealth Mode

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.

2026 Corvette ZR1X Aerodynamics.

Aerodynamics

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.

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.

ZR1X Carbon Fibre Aero Package

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 downforce* — the highest downforce of any production Corvette in history.

Performance App

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.

Performance Traction Management

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.

Technology of the 2026 Corvette ZR1X.

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 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.

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.
