The 1,064-horsepower Corvette finally has a price.
If you’ve been champing at the bit to add a ‘25 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 to your stable, well now is the time to call your money manager. Chevrolet says the Corvette ZR1 will start at $174,995 for its entry-level 1LZ coupe variant.
You can add a cool $10,000 for a hardtop convertible with the same trim. If you want a little more luxury, the 3LZ version of this ‘Vette will set you back $185,995 for the coupe and $195,995 for the convertible.
This nearly $200,000 price tag is a big bump over the previous, front-mid-engine Corvette ZR1’s $122,095 base price. It’s also a considerable leap from the base-model C8 Corvette’s $69,995. The Corvette Z06 bridges the gap at $116,795.
That extra money for the ZR1 buys you significant muscle: a 1,064-hp 5.5-liter turbocharged V8 that can rocket the ‘Vette to 60 mph in only 2.3 seconds.This V8 pushes power to the rear wheels by way of an eight-speed DCT. If you head to the drag strip, Chevrolet says this ZR1 can shuffle down the quarter mile in only 9.6 seconds at 150 mph.
Of course, this is just the base price for these cars. If you want to add on extras, Chevrolet can help you with that, too. The Carbon Fiber Aero Package, for instance, is an additional $8,495.
This package includes a high-downforce rear wing, replaces the standard aero package, and adds some underbody strakes to increase downforce.
Cranking it up further, Chevy will sell you the ZTK Performance Package for an extra $1,500 on top of the previous package.
Chevrolet will only sell the ZTK kit, which includes stiffer springs and recalibrated Magnetic Ride Control, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tires, if you already have checked the box for the Carbon Fiber Aero Package.
Dealers will start taking orders for the ZR1 this February, but production won’t kick off in the Bowling Green assembly plant until the second quarter of 2025. That means the first few customers will have to wait a little until their ‘Vette arrives.
