The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the fastest car ever built by an American auto manufacturer. At a test track in Germany in October 2024, General Motors (NYSE: GM) President Mark Reuss drove a 2025 Corvette ZR1 233 mph, setting a top speed record for any current production car priced under $1 million.* The Corvette team set this two-way average speed on the northbound and southbound straightaways of the High-Speed Oval Track at ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg. Now building on the marketing campaign, Chevy said this week that a 2025 Corvette ZR1 with 1064 horsepower is the quickest Corvette ever, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds ** [footnote 1] with the optional ZTK Performance Package. Clearly waiting is the next event – a Nürburgring run, AutoInformed opines.*

“The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations,” said Josh Holder, chief engineer, Corvette. “the Corvette ZR1 delivers on its mission to provide customers unrelenting power.”

ZR1 with ZTK includes the high-downforce Carbon Fiber Aero Package and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires. The ZTK-equipped ZR1 also runs the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds [see footnote 1]. The standard ZR1 reaches 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and finishes the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds [1], Chevy said.

Quick, repeatable launches are enabled by Corvette’s standard Launch Control and Custom Launch Control features, found throughout the lineup from Stingray to ZR1. Launch Control is programmed to manage tire spin, transmission clutch application rate, enabling rapid launches automatically. Custom Launch Control allows the driver to have more control to adjust for real-time conditions, optimizing acceleration runs by adjusting launch RPM and wheel slip targets from the steering wheel controls.
