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.

Will the Corvette go fully electric? Not yet, according to Corvette Chief Engineer Tony Roma and CEO Mary Barra. Chevy isn’t interested in electrifying the Corvette just to follow trends. As Roma told CBS News, “We don’t put technology on for technology’s sake.” Any move toward an electric Corvette would only happen if it truly enhances power, performance, and driving experience—or if customers demand it, which isn’t the case right now.

Mary Barra reinforced this, saying Chevrolet will be “guided by the consumer” on the Corvette’s future. While Chevy aims for an all-electric lineup by 2035, they won’t rush to compromise the Corvette’s spirit.

In the meantime, Chevy is preparing to unleash the hybrid Corvette Zora, expected as early as next year. With rumors of 1,200 horsepower, it could be the most powerful Corvette ever. While an all-electric version isn’t here yet, Chevy’s hybrid innovations show they’re [...]

Unveiled at SEMA 2024, this reimagined 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe is the pinnacle of design and performance, brought to life by the legendary Peter Brock—creator of the original 1963 Corvette.

Powered by a fuel-injected GM 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate engine producing over 550 horsepower and paired with a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission, this masterpiece is more than a showstopper—it’s a performance icon. Built on an Art Morrison custom C7 chassis with RideTech coilovers and Wilwood brakes, the car delivers an unparalleled driving experience.

This is the first in a limited run of 20, each a one-of-one creation with unique color combinations. Finished in GM Hypersonic Gray with a luxurious Cashmere and Sage leather interior, this Corvette blends modern craftsmanship with timeless style.

Brock’s redesign includes innovations such as [...]
