2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X: 1,250 HP, AWD, and Still Way Cheaper Than a Ferrari The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is here, and it's rewriting the rules of what an American supercar can be. With a claimed 1,250 horsepower, a 0–60 mph time of just 2.3 seconds, and a twin-turbo 5.5L V8 paired with an electric front motor for AWD, this ‘Vette punches far above its price tag. And that’s exactly the point.
