Chevrolet’s engineers have raised the bar with the new Corvette ZR1, which has been officially crowned the quickest and fastest Corvette in history. Recently tested on the High-Speed Oval Track at ATP Automotive Testing in Papenburg, Germany, the ZR1 reached a staggering top speed of 375km/h, solidifying its place among the fastest production cars ever built by General Motors.
The ZR1’s performance numbers are equally astonishing in acceleration. Chevrolet announced that the ZR1 can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.3 seconds, edging out the electrified Corvette E-Ray, which previously held the title at 2.5 seconds. This blistering acceleration places the ZR1 in the same league as hypercars like the Aston Martin Valkyrie, Lamborghini Revuelto, and Lotus Evija, all of which achieve the same 0-100km/h time.
In terms of quarter-mile performance, the ZR1 doesn’t disappoint. It covers the distance in a mere 9.6 seconds at 241km/h, putting it on par with exotic rivals such as the Ferrari 296 GTB and Lamborghini Revuelto.
These remarkable figures come with several accolades for the Corvette ZR1. It now holds the title as the fastest car ever produced by General Motors and stands as the only vehicle under $1 million (RM4.6 million) capable of reaching 375km/h.
With its unprecedented speed, Chevrolet’s ZR1 continues to redefine the limits of American performance engineering, solidifying its status as a serious contender in the supercar and hypercar arena.
