Chevy Just Revealed the 1250-HP Corvette ZR1X's Drag-Strip Times, and They Are Insane
Chevrolet's 1250-hp hybrid Corvette ZR1X achieved 1.68-second 0-60 mph and multiple sub-8.8-second quarter-mile runs on pump gas and street-legal tires.
- On Tuesday, General Motors published that the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X ran 0-60 mph in 1.68 seconds and a quarter-mile in 8.675 seconds at 159 mph at US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan.
- Chevrolet initially teased the electrified Corvette ZR1X as capable of a sub-two-second 0-60 run and sub-9-second quarter mile, pairing the ZR1's V-8 with an electric motor to produce 1250 hp.
- Corvette development engineer Stefan Frick used the car's Custom Launch Control to optimize launch rpm and wheelspin during the run on a prepped strip, with Chevy reporting 60 mph in 1.68 seconds.
- Chevrolet frames the results by noting the Corvette ZR1X, priced from $209,700, produced multiple runs under 8.8 seconds, comparable to multi-million-dollar hypercars like the Rimac Nevera R .
- Independent testers note the times likely improve roughly two-tenths on a prepped surface, so real-world results may be slower, and testing is still needed.
