At Circuit of the Americas in 98-degree Texas heat, Chevrolet’s 2025 Corvette ZR1 has stunned the world. With 1,064 horsepower and a 233 mph top speed, it now holds the record as the fastest American production car ever made. Yet what truly sets it apart isn’t just brute force, it’s the fact that this car is attainable, with prices starting at $174,995.

On track, it’s faster than many icons, beating the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo, and even the McLaren Senna by seconds. During GM’s national testing tour, the ZR1 also set unofficial production lap records at Road America, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta. More impressively, it does all this without sacrificing day-to-day drivability, offering magnetic suspension, usable trunk space, and Chevy dealer service access across the country.

Under the hood is a revolutionary twin-turbo 5.5L V8 dubbed the “Gemini LT7,” an evolution of the flat-plane engine from the Z06. Thanks to a compact “Maniturbo” design, titanium rods, and anti-lag software inspired by motorsports, the ZR1 delivers explosive yet controllable performance. It launches from 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds, runs the quarter-mile in 9.6 seconds, and maintains composure deep into 1.3 g cornering.

Visually, the ZR1 is a menacing missile, its optional ZTK Track Package includes carbon-fibre aero, a “flow-through” hood, 15 radiators, and 1,200 pounds of downforce. Michelin Cup 2R tires and a stiffened suspension make the car grip like a race machine. Chevrolet calls it the “Downforce King,” and that’s no exaggeration.

Despite its sheer power, this is a Corvette you can walk into a showroom and buy, no allocation games, no five-year waits. GM has built something few expected: a true American hypercar that blends ferocity with familiarity, and performance with price. It’s not just the best Corvette ever, it may be the best value hypercar in the world.
