Chevrolet on Thursday released pricing for the 2025 Corvette ZR1. The mid-engine supercar will start at $174,995 including destination, making it the most expensive Corvette ever.
The ZR1 is still a relative bargain, considering what you get for your money. Behind the driver sits a 5.5-liter flat-plane, twin-turbo V-8 outputting 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Corvette released by the factory. Chevy claims a 0-60 time of 2.3 seconds, and proved a top speed of 233 mph
There’s also a smattering of extra aerodynamics, with 1,200 pounds of downforce on tap when equipped with the $8,495 optional carbon-fiber aero package. If you get than and plan on doing serious track work, there’s the $1,500 ZTK Performance Package, which adds stiffer springs, retuned magnetic ride control dampers, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. All ZR1s get a carbon-fiber roof, carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon exterior trim, and Chevy’s Performance Data Recorder as standard.
| 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 | Price (Incl. Destination) |
| 1LZ Coupe | $174,995 |
| 1LZ Convertible | $184,995 |
| 3LZ Coupe | $185,995 |
| 3LZ Convertible | $195,995 |
The 2025 ZR1 will be available in two trims, 1LZ and 3LZ. Both are available with the Corvette’s power-folding hardtop, which adds $10,000 to the MSRP. The 1LZ model is well-equipped, with your choice of two different eight-way power seats, an electronic rear-view mirror camera, a 10-speaker Bose speaker system, and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster.
Opting for the fancier 3LZ trim will cost you $11,000, and adds heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, a front-view camera for low speed maneuvers, heated side mirrors, blind zone alert, a wireless phone charger, carbon fiber shift paddles, and a smattering of leather throughout the interior.
If $174,995 sounds like a lot of money for a Corvette, consider this handy chart Chevrolet provided alongside pricing, published below. While numbers aren’t everything, having a car that outpaces Porsches, Ferraris, McLarens, and Lamborghinis while undercutting on price is still damn impressive.
