Chevy has built the most powerful American production V8—and brought back an iconic bit of Corvette design—for the latest King of the Hill. We’ve seen glimpses of it. We’ve heard it. Now Chevrolet has revealed the 2025 Corvette ZR1, and it’s somehow even wilder than we expected. The top dog of the C8 Corvette lineup breaks new ground for the iconic American sports car, exceeding the 1,000 mark in three ways as it puts the world’s supercars on notice.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a 1,064-HP, Split-Window Monster

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.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Finally Debuts With 1,064 Horsepower!

The Chevrolet Corvette is the most iconic American vehicle ever made and the most important sports car to roll off the assembly line. Introduced in 1953, it has thrilled drivers and wowed onlookers across 70 model years and eight generations, becoming one of the most enduring and endearing nameplates in automotive history. It is simply the coolest car that ever was, and continues its awesome streak to this day.

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.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

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:
