Columbus, OH

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 Corvette drops in as the sixth model year for the mid-engine C8, debuting a few small updates and changes compared to the preceding 2024 model year. Critically, those changes include new pricing, with the cost of entry for some 2025 Corvette models a bit higher than was the case for 2024. Now, GM Authority has uncovered the starting prices for all of the 2025 Chevy Corvette trim levels and configurations.

Just because a car brand goes the way of the dinosaur doesn't mean that it can't be fondly remembered for years after. Take, for instance, Pontiac, which rose to prominence throughout the 20th century under the General Motors umbrella after starting out under Oakland Motor Car in the 1920s. It came to light in 2009 that GM was retiring the brand, shifting focus primarily to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. With that, Pontiac was a thing of the past by 2010. Nevertheless, there are a few classic Pontiac cars we'd like to see make a comeback someday, with the Pontiac GTO deservedly among them.

Muscle-car fans, you may salivate. Chevrolet recently introduced a new version of its fabled ZR1 Corvette, a 1,064-horsepower redesigned monster that’s not only its mightiest version ever, but “the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer,” according to the company.

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

The V8 That Won More Engine Awards Than Any Other

The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

As you hoped, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is an absolute unit of a sports car. The eighth-generation Corvette has brought a lot of new to Chevy’s flagship sports car. It’s the first mid-engined Corvette, even the “base model” Stingray boasts a sub-3-second 0-60 time, and with even the Z06 costing less than half your typical supercar, the C8 has been charging from strength to strength over the past four years. Now, though, the daddy of all Corvettes has arrived: the all-new, turbocharged ZR1.

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.

The 2025 Corvette ZR-1 was preceded by a supercharged C8 development mule. Chevy's decision to turbocharge over supercharge was influenced by aerodynamics, efficiency, and power goals.
