The 2026 Corvette ZR1X's engine system is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo LT7 V8, combined with an electric front-drive unit, to produce a combined total of 1,250 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Corvette ever. The V8 alone outputs 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, while the electric motor adds 186 horsepower. This "eAWD" (electrified all-wheel drive) system uses a performance-focused hybrid setup, drawing power from a hybrid battery for on-demand boost, rather than for fuel efficiency. The fastest street legal unmodified production car to ever lap nurburgring in the $3 million and under category.
