CORVETTE ZR1 2025

John Anhalt is not most ZR1 owners.

He recently competed in the Big Bend Open Road Race (BBORR) in his 2019 Corvette ZR1, and ended up setting a new average speed record for the course of 173.004 mph over the course of 118 miles. That incredible run even resulted in the rear bodywork of the Corvette being melted by the extreme heat.

Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed.

ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
