The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is here. And it is mind blowing, so far beyond what I remotely expected we would be getting with the C8 ZR1.

The ZR1 brings the most powerful production V8 from an American manufacturer ever. A 5.5L Twin Turbo LT7 making 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. It is still flat-plane crank and revs to 8000 rpm. INSANE.

My original guess was the ZR1 being cross-plane crank TT V8 making somewhere between 850-900 horsepower. My shocked expression was probably hilarious to watch when I was told the action 1000+ hp power figure. This is utterly ridiculous, the Z06 is the most powerful production NA V8 ever at 670 hp, and the ZR1 is an additional 394 hp lol. Think about how McLaren did the 720S then the 765LT. They didn’t do the 720S then the 1000LT. Which is essentially what Chevy has done.

Top speed of over 215 mph, quarter mile estimated in under 10s, and 80-200-80 mph in 24.5 seconds. All ridiculous specs.

The ZR1 is also meant to be capable on track, so there is a ZTK package, enormous rear wing, and front end aero/cooling duct that removes the usability of the front trunk.

No official pricing yet, but I expect this thing to start close to $200k and probably be between $230-250k fully optioned.

Welcome to the 4-digit horsepower club Corvette. I want one.

Enjoy this walkaround and details video of the new C8 ZR1! I can't wait to drive it.

It was an honest mistake. It seems he accidentally selected A.M. instead of P.M. on the YT release schedule. He feels terrible, but he's been a strong Z06 supporter and just made an unintentional mistake, cut him some slack GM. How many mistakes did you or your employees all make on the job this month? It made for a great morning for car enthusiasts anyways and was a huge win for GM in my book and this little blunder just made my day.

Almost 1100 hp off the showroom floor without a hybrid system. This thing is wild

I wasn't sure if I needed to watch another ZR1 video since I have already seen so many, but I'm glad I did! Getting so much engineering info from Tadge and the engine guy was awesome, and made this my favorite video on the car!

[malcolmar]

WOW! The fact we get all this insane engineering and hypercar performance which will most likely be at a supercar price. This represents the pinnacle of Corvette engineering. EddieX, thank you for much for this deep dive on this engineering masterpiece! 1064 HP on pump gas with no electric motors or batteries to weigh it down while passing emissions and all with a warranty. That is INSANE! Again, WOW!

[sethwelty]

Out of all the content creators that reviewed the ZR1 this was definitely the best one. Well done…don’t let this little mistake get ya down!!!

[JohnQ-it]

I think Eddie is on the non-waiting list for the Zr1

[Duramaxjon]

I always enjoy hearing from the engineers. There’s so much stuff they know that the aftermarket can’t even begin to comprehend

[alexluke]

Pure ICE power...damn that is a hypercar level of power for a fraction of money...hypercar killer 💪

[BLUPRINTLE]

Great Video Bro! I can't wait to see this in person. I can ONLY IMAGINE how this going to be when it's tuned or seeing it at the road course!

[lewislgZ]

What an informative and comprehensive video. Everything you need to know about the new ZR1 from the very talented creators.
I can’t stop watching it!
What an amazing supercar the Corvette Team has built for us!
I sure hope I can afford one.
Please GM, make it affordable. 🙏
Fantastic job Eddie X! 👍

[GadgetyMV]

Oh wow!!! Eddie is the Man! World Premiere!

[LandoVenturi]

Insane supercar! Thanks for the interviews with the engineers, very informative.

[kasandrapurplekitten]

First of all Congrats Eddie you were chosen for this and you deserve this You stayed true the the brand and were rewarded great first look this car is INSANE...

[RaceCarFriends]

Great video brother very informational, this video makes me want to purchase one of these big time!

[integrafreak]

Thank you for risking it and leaking this early!!!

[John.Manners]

I honestly believe the accidental leaks INCREASED the hype for this car's official release.

[pauljr.harrington]

We were all expecting the ZR1 to have like 850hp or so. Over 1000hp with no hybrid? I thought the Zora was going to be the 1000hp Corvette. The ZR1 has more power than a Lamborghini Revuelto. I also love that they brought back the split window for the ZR1.

Tadge looks like the Corvette Clint Eastwood
