2025 Corvette ZR1 Just Hit 233 MPH in Top Speed Run

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has just set a new standard for American-made supercars, reaching a mind-blowing 233 miles per hour. This remarkable feat took place on a test track in Germany, where General Motors President Mark Reuss drove the Corvette ZR1 to set a top speed record, unmatched by any production car priced under one million dollars.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the Corvette ZR1 is equipped with a standard chassis and aerodynamics package, including carbon fiber ground effects and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. It also features Chevrolet’s new Top Speed Mode, designed to optimize performance on closed courses by fine-tuning chassis control systems.

Under the hood, the ZR1 packs a punch with its 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged LT7 dual overhead camshaft flat-plane crank V8 engine, delivering an astonishing 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 revolutions per minute and 828 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 revolutions per minute. This is the most powerful V8 engine ever made by an American auto manufacturer. During testing, several engineers were able to consistently push the car beyond 230 miles per hour. With over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed, the ZR1 is not just about speed—it is about precision and performance.

Another thing to note is that this was not done on a drag strip or an airfield and this was not driven by a professional driver, but by a GM executive.

With no active aero. Let that sink in. Every other super car that has been past the 220mph mark had to use active aero to get there. Amazing stuff Chevy. I cannot wait for the Zora!

[RichG-tu]

233 mph with 2 drivers in the vehicle is such a flex 😂

[DxrkWxrrior]

233mph is crazy thats faster than even most paganis a car thats under $1m competing and smoking cars that are over $1m in value

[SENTINEL]

And this is why the Corvette ZR1 has always been my dream car.

[lafayettehighball]

[jgonzalesm]

In the 90's, Callaway did 254mph in a "Twin Turbo Sledgehammer" Corvette.

[SirCentex]

Hennessy is gonna take this thing over the edge 😂

[jasoncase]

This is a dream car for vast people far more than any Batmobile.

[HanginInSF]

5.5 liter flat plane is also an accomplishment

[nishali]

The Zora will definitely hit 400km/h+. or 250mph+

[KINGZSPEED]

CHEVROLET AMERICA’s BEST!!!! Go GM!!!!

[leondavis]

This is beyond impressive I have to buy I can compete with any car

[DrinkyDanielandTheNightcaps]

I am very impressed. I hate how this car looks but damnit I cannot deny that accomplishment. To that GM Executive who actually drive that thing to 233? My friend you are a man of grit and large testicles, you need to be in charge of GM from now on 🇺🇲

[Black]

Who would have thought we would see a stock Corvette hitting 233+! Awesome times.
