2025 Corvette ZR1 Achieves Sub-10-Second Quarter Mile

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has shattered performance benchmarks with its official quarter-mile time of 9.6 seconds, establishing itself as the quickest production Corvette in the model's 70-year history. This remarkable achievement comes alongside confirmation of its 0-96 km/h sprint time of just 2.3 seconds with the ZTK Performance Package, showcasing Chevrolet's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a production sports car.

At the heart of these impressive figures lies the most powerful V8 engine ever produced by an American manufacturer - a 5.5L twin-turbocharged LT7 DOHC flat-plane crank V8 delivering an astounding 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.

Engineering Excellence Behind the Numbers

The ZR1's record-setting performance isn't solely about raw power. The available ZTK Performance Package, featuring an advanced Carbon Fiber Aero Package, generates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed. This aerodynamic prowess, combined with specially developed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, enables the ZR1 to maintain exceptional stability while achieving these remarkable acceleration figures.

The standard ZR1 demonstrates equally impressive capabilities, reaching 96 km/h in 2.5 seconds and completing the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds. Perhaps more notably, it achieves a higher quarter-mile trap speed of 244 km/h, compared to the ZTK-equipped version, highlighting the dynamic balance between aerodynamic downforce and outright speed.

Advanced Launch Technology

Every 2025 Corvette ZR1 comes equipped with sophisticated launch control systems that maximize its performance potential. The standard Launch Control feature automatically manages multiple vehicle parameters, including tire spin and transmission clutch application, ensuring consistent, rapid acceleration. For drivers seeking additional control, the Custom Launch Control system allows real-time adjustments to launch RPM and wheel slip targets directly from the steering wheel, enabling optimization for various surface conditions.

The ZR1's capabilities have been validated using 93 octane pump fuel on non-prepped drag strip surfaces, emphasizing its real-world performance credentials. These achievements place the ZR1 in an elite category of vehicles capable of sub-10-second quarter-mile times straight from the factory.
