The 2025 Corvette Zr1 with twin turbo V8 and 1064 horsepower and 828 lbs of torque

This thing is a beast. I love the ode to the '63 Vette with the rear split window. Probably will cost Ferrari/Lamborghini type money. And with dealer markups people will likely pay crazy money for this.

Amazing.
I can’t believe they sell this stuff to the general public.

If it's rear wheel drive have fun trying to get the power down......

No kidding. I used to spin my 225 hp 5.0 Mustang out when I got too frisky. I'd die in this thing in days.

@TeTe time to trade up bud

 

[Tone C]

It's some sort of fast looking car .

Beyond that I have no idea .

 

[Belaya Smert]

It is rear wheel drive and does the quarter mile in the 9's. It's mid-engine with a bunch of aeros that provide tremendous downforce. With the right driver, tune and fuel this is an 8 second car.

Might be like that turbo Porsche that killed a bunch of it's owners back in the 80's?

Yeah on special tires and on tarmac that's got so much rubber on it, it's practically bouncy.........

Nice car but I've seen enough to know those figures are only achieved in very specific conditions......

Well, yes. At the track the car will need slicks and VHT resin and burnouts but that's always been the case.

You mean the 930 Turbo? Problem is too many people buy cars and really have no idea how to drive them.

Yeah, rear engine, rear wheel drive...... Huge turbo lag..... Always fun approaching a corner at the wrong rpm, in the wet........

Same, thanks!

 

[Contempt]

Ugly as all hell but damn, that's a whole lot of engine.

Interested to see the reviews... and price.

I’d be curious to know what they did with the rear end in this car.. in the past Vettes with too much power would blow their shit up with a hard launch from a dig. Even Hellcats and Demons (2018 version) needed to upgrade/reinforce their difs because they’d blow up at the strip with a sticky tire..
