Powerhouse Engineering: The Technology Behind the Speed

The Corvette ZR1 engine specs and supercar technology are truly astounding. As the fastest Corvette ever, the 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 boasts 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque thanks to the twin turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine, which is matched with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. It’s hard to imagine that level of power, but Dustin Gardner, Assistant Chief Engineer Small Block Engines, provides some insight. In his words:

The way the horsepower builds with that constant torque feels like you’re strapped to an aircraft carrier. You’re getting fired off in a jet plane

When properly equipped, the Corvette ZR1 is capable of going from zero to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 9.6 seconds at 150 mph. Clearly, this Corvette is not for the faint of heart.

Now lets talk 2025 ZR1 aerodynamics.
