2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Hot Springs AR

The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the twin-turbo flagship of the rear-drive Corvettes, its 5.5-liter LT7 V8 making 1,064 horsepower and pushing the top speed to 233 mph, the highest of any Corvette. Starting at $197,700, it puts genuine hypercar performance within reach for a fraction of what its European rivals command, and Allen Tillery Chevrolet orders it for the fastest drivers in Hot Springs, Malvern and Arkadelphia.

The following covers the ZR1 and its place atop the rear-drive lineup.

What the ZR1 Adds Over the Z06

The ZR1 takes the Z06's flat-plane architecture and adds two turbochargers, transforming the LT6 into the LT7. Output jumps from 670 to 1,064 horsepower, torque climbs to 828 lb-ft, and the top speed rises to 233 mph, the fastest Corvette ever built. Carbon-ceramic brakes become standard rather than optional. This is the leap from a track-day specialist to a car that competes on numbers with the world's fastest.

2027 ZR1 Engine and Drivetrain

The LT7 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged flat-plane V8 makes 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm. It stays rear-wheel drive through the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic, reaching 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph with available equipment, with a 233-mph top end in low-drag configuration. No rear-drive Corvette makes more; the ZR1X layers a hybrid front axle onto this same LT7 for all-wheel drive.

ZR1 Chassis and Hardware

Standard carbon-ceramic brakes anchor the ZR1, with 15.7-inch front rotors and six-piston calipers and 15.4-inch rears with four-piston calipers. It rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. The ZTK Performance Package is the track option, adding a tall carbon-fiber rear wing, front dive planes, underbody strakes, track suspension and Cup 2 R tires for roughly 1,200 pounds of downforce. Even without it, the ZR1's aero and carbon hardware are among the most serious on any road car.

ZR1 Pricing and Packages

Prices exclude the $2,495 destination charge. The ZR1 is offered in two levels, 1LZ and 3LZ, with no 2LZ. The cabin holds two; the two trunks hold a combined 12.6 cubic feet; the tow rating, as on the whole line, is none. A federal Gas Guzzler tax applies.

The ZR1 in the Corvette Lineup

The ZR1 is the top of the rear-drive Corvettes. Below it, the Z06 is the naturally aspirated track car and the Stingray and Grand Sport share the LS6. Above it sits only the ZR1X, which adds a hybrid front axle for all-wheel drive. See the specs page for full numbers and the models compared page to weigh the choice.

Which Buyer Should Choose the ZR1?

• The driver chasing outright speed: 1,064 horsepower and 233 mph are the numbers, at a fraction of European-rival money.
• The rear-drive purist: the ZR1 is the most powerful Corvette that keeps the classic rear-drive feel.
• The collector: a naturally styled, twin-turbo, carbon-braked flagship. Build yours in the ZR1 inventory.
