A new era for the Corvette

Chevrolet unveils the 2026 Corvette ZR1X, a North American hypercar blending raw power, cutting-edge technology, and electrification. With 1,250 horsepower and an advanced electrified all-wheel-drive system, it becomes the most sophisticated Corvette ever built. At Christin Automobile in Montréal, we are proud to present this exceptional model, a true engineering milestone that pushes Corvette innovation to new heights.

An exceptional powertrain: 1,250 horsepower under the hood

The Corvette ZR1X pairs a 1,064-hp LT7 twin-turbo V8 at the rear with a 186-hp front electric motor, delivering a groundbreaking total of 1,250 hp. The results are nothing short of astonishing:

• 0--60 mph in under 2 seconds

• Quarter mile in less than 9 seconds

• Top speed exceeding 150 mph

The hand-built LT7 engine, assembled at the Performance Build Center, features 76 mm turbochargers and a compact "tubuloturbo" exhaust system, enhancing responsiveness and boost efficiency.

Electrified all-wheel drive inspired by the E-Ray

Drawing inspiration from the Corvette E-Ray, the ZR1X integrates a self-charging hybrid system. The front electric motor recovers and redistributes energy to maximize grip, maintaining optimal traction at speeds up to 160 mph. Its 1.9 kWh battery is track-optimized, offering rapid recharge and improved power management.

A hypercar for both track and road

The Corvette ZR1X isn't just about raw speed -- it's engineered for versatility, excelling on both the racetrack and city streets.

• Smart drive management: Endurance, Qualifying, and "Push to Pass" modes.

• Carbon-ceramic Alcon brakes: 10-piston calipers up front, 6 in the rear, with 1.9 G deceleration capability.

• Magnetic Ride Control: Adaptive suspension for smooth road comfort and razor-sharp track handling.

• Advanced aerodynamics: Up to 1,200 lb of downforce with the ZTK performance package.

A modern, high-tech cabin

• Integrated performance tracking app

Available as a coupe or hardtop convertible, it seamlessly combines luxury and sportiness.
