Chevrolet has absolutely delivered with the new 2025 Corvette ZR1, which features a 5.5L flatplane-crank twin-turbo V8 engine sending power to the rear wheels. The powerplant is good for 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 RPM – astounding numbers from a production car! How does it do it? We’ll talk through the numbers in this video, including what features are shared with the Z06 "Gemini" LT6 engine, and what features are different for the ZR1’s LT7 engine. We’ll discuss mitigating turbo-lag, power & torque, 0-60 mph times, and mind-blowing torque stats. The new ZR1 has truly elevated the Corvette C8 platform!
