The 2025 Corvette ZR1 is the Most Powerful Corvette EVER! | First Look & 200+ MPH Ride-Along

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 is finally here, and with more than 1,000 horsepower, it’s the most powerful Vette ever. But the ZR1 isn’t just about power — there are plenty of other upgrades, too, from handling to aerodynamics. In this video, Edmunds’ Clint Simone checks out the new ZR1 before hopping into the passenger seat for a 200-plus-mph ride-along.

Do you think 1, 064 horsepower is too much to handle in the ZR1? Let us know what you think in the comments!

[RenBartlett]

No one saw this coming. Everyone thought 800-850. 900 max. A few crazy outliers said 1k....1064!!! I just had a cargasm!

[FamilyErvin]

Come on Chevy, let the Edmunds boys borrow the ZR1 for UDraga!!

My car is only 70hp and it's enough. Imagine this beast zr1.. 0-60 in no time at all💪💪💪💪

The ZR1 is amazing. I want to see other $200k cars comparing. Last Acura NSX was about $180k.

I sincerely hope nobody has anything negative to say about this 'situation'. I call it a 'situation' because us petrolheads have been given a miracle - a V8, 1000hp+ car powered by only an internal combustion engine. This is a gift from the car gods in 2024! Thank you Chevy, bless you!

Might be the best sounding Turbo charged engine in ages.

[maxanderson-ukce]

This is insanely awsome I thought it would have 860 hp but dang blew my ming also this needs to be on u drags I want to see it in action

[bartlevenson]

they did 253mph on the original 1000 hp Veyron.

[hreblue]

Wish it had auto deploying wing. Best of both worlds

[bartlevenson]

My 1974 Renault 4 had 28 hp. It was adequate, and a blast to drive!

Notice the bottom braces have a curve that makes it stylish compared to all other GM wings with straight up and down stiff looking braces.

[nealgockel]

Great content!! Would love to see it on udrags!!

[timsmith]

I’m really proud of GM for seeing the future and thinking outside the box for once. At least it’s not another boring pushrod v8 and supercharged.

[jimgriffin]

Definitely want to see it in the drag race.

[Universal_realities]

Can’t wait for car wow to drag race this car

[roguedogx]

before watching - okay, this is gonna be good.

[Atlanticmantic]

imagine taking a brand new car to the track hitting 9.7 and they say " Nope you can not run again with out a roll cage and harness." I think it's either sub 10.99 or 10 that the rules change drastically for your vehical.

[DJTZSCARCHANNEL]

Are you sure the split window is optional on the coupe? I thought it was standard on the coupe.

[GrahammdYT]

GT3? I immediately want to know about all the races this car competes in!!?? New fan is born!!
