On Thursday, Chevrolet announced the pricing for the 2025 Corvette ZR1. This mid-engine supercar will have a starting price of $174,995, which includes destination fees, making it the priciest Corvette to date.
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 with a video released back in October.
Additionally, the vehicle features a touch of enhanced aerodynamics, boasting 1,200 pounds of downforce when outfitted with the optional carbon-fiber aero package priced at $8,495. For those considering serious track performance, there's the ZTK Performance Package available for $1,500, which includes upgraded stiffer springs, recalibrated magnetic ride control dampers, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. Every ZR1 comes standard with a carbon-fiber roof, carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon exterior accents, and Chevy's Performance Data Recorder.

The 2025 ZR1 comes in two distinct trims: 1LZ and 3LZ. Both trims can be equipped with the Corvette's power-folding hardtop, which incurs an additional cost of $10,000 to the MSRP. The 1LZ variant is nicely appointed, offering a selection between two types of eight-way power seats, an electronic rear-view mirror with a camera, a premium 10-speaker Bose audio system, and a 12-inch digital instrument display.
Choosing the upgraded 3LZ trim will set you back $11,000, which includes features such as heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, a front-view camera for low-speed driving, heated side mirrors, blind zone monitoring, a wireless phone charging pad, carbon fiber shift paddles, and additional leather accents throughout the cabin.
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.
