GM reveals new Chevy Corvette with 1,000-plus horsepower and record top speed

General Motors’ newest Chevrolet Corvette will be the most powerful version of the American sports car ever produced — and it’s not even close. The Detroit automaker said Thursday the 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 will be powered by a twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter, V8 engine capable of more than 1,000 horsepower — a first for Corvette — and 828 foot-pounds of torque, placing it among the ranks of supercars that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
