Just as Detroit is preparing for the opening of the annual Detroit Auto Show, Chevrolet is sharing some big news. We finally know how much the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will cost and when we might actually see it. Chevrolet says the production of the most anticipated car in years will begin at Bowling Green Assembly in the second quarter. Chevrolet also says anyone interested should start talking with dealers now. Chevrolet will begin accepting orders for the 2025 Corvette ZR1 in mid-February and trust me, they will sell out immediately.
I have been writing about the ZR1 rumors began circulating about a Corvette-based supercar being tested at the Milford, Michigan, test track as well as the test tracks in Germany. Chevrolet is not saying how many it will build but the starting price for ZR1 will be $173,300, and it will go up from there. It will only be available in two trim levels and there will be additional performance options.
“ZR1 is an example of design and engineering excellence, one where we push the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of performance,” said Scott Bell, vice president of global Chevrolet. “It was important for us to stay true to Corvette’s promise of a vehicle whose world-class capabilities completely outmatch its price.”

As I reported recently, General Motors President Mark Reuss drove the ZR1, in Germany, setting the top speed of 233 mph. The 1,064-horsepower beauty does 0-60 in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. That makes the ZR1 the fastest street legal car ever produced by a North American automaker.

The Corvette ZR1’s magic all starts with its 5.5L, twin-turbocharged LT7 DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine. The ZR1 has more horsepower and torque than many of it foreign competitors. The 1016-horsepower 2024 Ferrari SF90 starts at $528,000. The 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto has 1001-horsepower but starts at over $608,000. Chevrolet will begin accepting orders for the 2025 Corvette ZR1 in mid-February, but it is already warning customers that dealers will set the final prices. I would suggest making friends with a dealer now and having all of your decisions made if you really want the ZR1. There will be stiff competition to get one.
