2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

ZR1 redefines Corvette performance with a twin-turbocharged 5.5L flat-plane crank V8 — the most powerful engine ever offered in a production Corvette. Engineered to push the limits of performance and innovation, it fuses advanced aerodynamics, cutting-edge technology and precision handling to rival the world’s most elite supercars.

ZR1 transforms raw power into refined performance. With intuitive dynamics and razor-sharp control, it’s engineered to thrill at every turn.

This standard advanced damping system reads the road in milliseconds and adapts in as little as 10–15 milliseconds, giving you more confidence and control for the track and beyond.

Engineered for driving enthusiasts, the available ZTK Performance Package enhances ZR1’s capability with track-focused upgrades that deliver sharper handling, improved cooling and increased performance. Ultra-performance tires, a sport-tuned suspension, and new brakes with Alcon® 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers deliver superior heat resistance and exceptionally-responsive braking. Requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package which includes a carbon fiber high-wing, ground effects and dive planes.

The reigning king of downforce. With a leading-edge design like wide side air inlets, carbon-fiber elements, and a multitude of airflow and cooling features, ZR1 dominates with the highest downforce of any production Corvette.

The flow through hood and spoiler help to extract airflow through the intercooler and cool the turbocharged air. The front splitter, paired with an underwing and smooth underbody, helps generate suction under the vehicle to maximize downforce and reduce drag.

Available on ZR1, the potent carbon-fiber wing, underbody strakes and carbon-fiber dive planes work together to produce over 1,200 lbs. of downforce.
