Quickest of the Quick: 2025 Corvette ZR1 does 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) in 2.3 seconds

2024-12-19

OSHAWA, Ont. (Tuesday, December 19, 2024) The 2025 Corvette ZR1 with 1,064 horsepower is the quickest Corvette ever, achieving 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) in 2.3 seconds¹with the available ZTK Performance Package.

The ZTK-equipped ZR1 also runs the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds¹. The standard ZR1 sprints to 96 km/h (60 mph) in 2.5 seconds and finishes the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds¹.

“The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations,” said Josh Holder, chief engineer, Corvette. “Combined with a top speed record of 375 km/h (233 mph) – which is unrivalled by any current production car priced under $1 million USD - the Corvette ZR1 delivers on its mission to provide customers unrelenting power.”

A closer look demonstrates how ZR1 can be a standout track tool and a powerful grand touring vehicle all at once. ZR1 with ZTK, which includes the high-downforce Carbon Fiber Aero Package, bursts from a standstill on ultra-grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, taking a clear edge to 96 km/h (60 mph). The equally balanced standard aero ZR1 sails to a 244 km/h (152 mph) quarter mile trap speed, 3.2 km/h (2 mph) faster than the ZTK-equipped ZR1. All tests were done with 93 octane pump fuel and were performed on a non-prepped drag strip surface.

Quick, repeatable launches are enabled by Corvette’s standard Launch Control and Custom Launch Control features, found throughout the line-up from Stingray to ZR1. Launch Control is programmed to manage tire spin, transmission clutch application rate and more, enabling rapid launches automatically. Custom Launch Control allows the driver to have more control to adjust for real-time conditions, optimizing acceleration runs by adjusting launch RPM and wheel slip targets from the steering wheel controls.
