In 2025, the Corvette world buzzed with debates over two incredible engines for the Z06 and ZR1. Both were built for speed but with distinct personalities. The Z06’s naturally aspirated 5.5L flat-plane crank V8, known as the LT6, delivered 670 horsepower and screamed to an 8,600 RPM redline. It was all about precision and control, perfect for purists who loved a high-revving machine.

Then came the ZR1, packing the twin-turbocharged LT7 engine. With over 1,064 horsepower, it turned the Z06’s finesse into pure, unrelenting force. The ZR1 was built for raw power, designed to pin you to your seat under incredible acceleration.

Jay Leno recently got an up-close look at Chevrolet’s new C8-generation Corvette ZR1 on Jay Leno’s Garage. Leno, a legendary figure in the automotive world, was joined by GM President Mark Reuss to explore the ZR1’s incredible capabilities.

The new ZR1 boasts a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine, delivering a jaw-dropping 1,064 horsepower. Leno, visibly impressed, noted that achieving similar performance from a European sports car would cost millions.

Reuss added that while the ZR1’s price isn’t set yet, it will stay true to Corvette’s tradition of being both aspirational and attainable.
