2026 Corvette ZR1X: Chevrolet Unleashes the Most Advanced American Hypercar Ever

BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY, USA, JUN 17 – The Corvette ZR1X hybrid hypercar combines a twin-turbo V8 and electric motors to deliver 1,250 horsepower, 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, and a top speed of 233 mph.

  • Chevrolet introduced the 2026 Corvette ZR1X, a 1,250-horsepower all-wheel-drive electrified supercar with a hybrid powertrain and twin-turbo 5.5L V8 engine.
  • GM developed the ZR1X from day one, refining the E-Ray's hybrid system to merge 1,064 hp from the LT7 V8 with 186 hp from an electric front motor.
  • The ZR1X launches from a standstill to 60 mph in less than two seconds, completes the quarter-mile in under nine seconds, and features GM’s inaugural 10-piston brake calipers paired with 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic rotors.
  • Chief Engineer Josh Holder described the Corvette as the most advanced model to date, emphasizing its power output at 2.5 times that of the Z51 Stingray and its cutting-edge Performance Traction Management Pro system.
  • Customer deliveries are planned for Q4 2025, with pricing likely between $190,000 and $200,000, making it a more affordable American hypercar alternative to competitors like McLaren W1.
