- Chevrolet has revealed the 2025 Corvette ZR1 can hit 60 mph in as little as 2.3 seconds.
- The American hypercar can run the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph.
- The ZR1 arrives next year, but the biggest number is pricing and it remains unknown.
The Corvette ZR1 news continues as Chevrolet has revealed additional performance specs including a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 2.3 seconds. The company said the feat was achieved with the ZTK Performance Package and went on to note the car ran the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph (241 km/h).
The standard ZR1 is a touch slower as the dash to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes 2.5 seconds, while the quarter mile was completed in 9.7 seconds at 152 mph (245 km/h). The company added “all tests were done with 93 octane pump fuel and were performed on a non-prepped drag strip surface.”

To put those numbers into perspective, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Lamborghini Revuelto both need 2.5 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h). However, it’s worth noting the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon could accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.3 seconds and run the quarter mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph (225 km/h).
The Challenger SRT Demon 170 dropped those figures to 1.66 seconds and 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph (243.28 km/h). However, the numbers may not paint a complete picture as there are other factors at play including rollouts.
Regardless, those are impressive figures for a Chevy and Corvette chief engineer Josh Holder said, “The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations. Combined with a top speed record of 233 mph (375 km/h) – which is unrivaled by any current production car priced under $1 million – the Corvette ZR1 delivers on its mission to provide customers unrelenting power.”
It’s also worth mentioning the car has a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 engine that produces 1,064 hp (793 kW / 1,079 PS) and 828 lb-ft (1,121 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to an upgraded eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which features stronger shafts and improved lubrication.
