Rumors have swirled that the addition of twin turbos could elevate the Corvette ZR1’s output to an impressive 850 horsepower and 825 lb-ft of torque, potentially making it the most potent Corvette in history. However, this achievement might be short-lived, as Chevrolet is reportedly considering an even hotter Zora variant equipped with a twin-turbo hybrid V8 engine capable of delivering as much as 1,000 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, according to a Hagerty report from early 2021. Additionally, with the confirmed development of a fully electric Corvette, the future looks incredibly promising for the American supercar.
Anticipation is building for the arrival of the Corvette ZR1, expected next year as a 2025 model year release. It is likely to command a significant premium over the Z06, which has a starting price of $112,700 for the 2024 model year.
