Unless you’re reading this story on a GM-owned device, you’ll be waiting a while for your chance at a thrill ride in the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. GM has pulled the wraps off its 1,064-hp supercar a full year before deliveries begin so that the development team can finish its work on the aerodynamics and cooling systems without the camouflage interfering.

Watch and Listen as the 1,064-HP 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Rips to 205 MPH!

GM pulled the sheets on the new 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 late last month, showing off the fastest, most powerful production vehicle to ever wear a Corvette badge. All that speed and power is complemented by new aerodynamics, which bless the C8 ZR1 with its own unique look. Now, we’re checking out what the new ZR1 looks like in the real world thanks to the following GM Authority photos.

Debuting with descriptors such as "mind-bending," "like a freight train," and "next level," the new 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has the chops (on paper) to be the most powerful Corvette ever assembled. Think non-electrified 1,000+ horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, a top speed of over 215 mph, plus a cool homage to the 1963 Corvette Stingray—this new sports car is out to kick supercar butt and take names.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a monster just ready to terrorize the European elite. It's a mid-engined American supercar with 1,064 horsepower from a twin-turbo 5.5-liter flat-plane V8 engine, and it's capable of a sub-10-second quarter mile. The first units haven't even hit the road yet, but already, John Hennessey is scheming about how to get even more power from America's wildest Corvette ever.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

There's a lot of anticipation surrounding the Lamborghini Temerario, the sports car from Sant'Agata, heir to the Huracan, which will make its debut at Pebble Beach on 16 August 2024.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
