Equipped with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, the ZR1 delivers 1,122 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful production Corvette in history. This immense power enables it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, rivaling some of the fastest hypercars on the market. The optional ZTK performance package enhances its aerodynamics with a high-downforce rear wing, a more aggressive front lip, and front dive planes. Additionally, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and stiffer Magnetic Ride Control suspension ensure superior handling on the track.
