Win a 2025 ZR1 plus $30,000 cash: https://www.tapkat.org/national-sprint-car-hall-of-fame-museum/dkQaqk?promo=D61520 First look at a 2025 Corvette ZR1 (Black with Edge Blue stripes and Edge Blue wheels). I went up to bowling green to film the new C8 ZR1 Corvette at the NCM. I also saw a Competition Yellow C8 Z06, a Competition Yellow E-Ray and then a Hysteria (purple) E-Ray. In this video you can hear the C8 ZR1 start up. (C8 ZR1 Cold Start) you can hear the 2025 Corvette ZR1 rev its exhaust (ZR1 Exhaust, Zr1 revs, ZR1 Rev) Also, you can see the 2025 ZR1 driving in the sunlight.

Thank you to Jeremy Welborn for getting some clips I used in this video and then footage I will post in another video: here is his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Y5ca6BHvCm4XA1yEvI2ew Corvette Website stats on ZR1: 1,064 HP 828 lb.-ft. Torque With a potent twin turbocharged 5.5L V8 engine and edge-to-edge aerodynamics, ZR1 can attack any road both fast and strong. LT7 5.5L DOHC V8 engine Twin turbo with flat-plane crankshaft 8-Speed Dual-clutch transmission 8,000 RPM Redline How do you make power even more powerful? ZR1 engineers were tasked with that mission. Charge air coolers paired with dual mono-scroll, ball-bearing turbos work together to deliver unrelenting power, along with integrated exhaust manifold turbos to provide the quick responsiveness you expect. Electronically controlled waste gates combined with other engine controls virtually eliminating turbo lag – especially during more dynamic driving situations. To sum it up, you get more power in less time and massive torque out of the gate. Mission accomplished. The crank train supports extreme force as it converts pressure into torque and horsepower. The flat-plane crankshaft is the backbone that holds it all together, allowing seamless interaction with other engine parts, such as the stronger forged pistons. The wrist pin is bigger and thicker with stronger forged titanium rods. The piston converts the energy released during combustion into mechanical work as it reacts against the titanium rod. Every part has a purpose because when it comes to achieving power, it doesn’t happen alone. The goal was to take power and performance to the next level. That goal was achieved with the LT7 engine. A unique cylinder head casting with updated combustion chambers works seamlessly with the intake system to help increase airflow and reduce compression ratio, while the exhaust port enables an optimized turbocharging system. The valve train was refined for boosted performance to bring the powerful output you expect. This is more than an engine. This is a system that knows the difference between just moving and making power moves. Completely unique to the LT7 engine, the Edge Blue Intake System brings air from the charge air coolers into the engine's intake manifold, where it's mixed with fuel from two systems: Port and Direct Injection (PDI). The cool air and fuel mixture are then sent into the combustion chambers, where it ignites and drives the never-ending torque. Prepare for takeoff. Aerodynamics? ZR1 takes it beyond. Cutting-edge design like wide side air inlets, carbon-fiber elements, and a multitude of airflow and cooling features result in the ZR1 having the highest downforce of any production Corvette. Flow-Through Hood and Ground Effects The new intercooler with flow-through hood and spoiler helps cool turbo-charged air to extract airflow. The front splitter, paired with an underwing and smooth underbody helps generate suction under the vehicle to maximize downforce and reduce drag. Side Inlets Large side air inlets feature signature carbon-fiber wishbone bezels. This paired with the new rear brake cooling ducts allow for additional engine cooling while maximizing air intake. Available ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package The potent carbon-fiber wing, underbody strakes and carbon-fiber dive planes work together to produce the highest downforce of any production Corvette in history. Split Rear Window and Hatch Intakes One of the most unique and recognizable Corvette attributes now features ventilation and a louvered spine for increased engine bay cooling – integrating form and function. This is paired with new carbon-fiber hatch intakes to draw in colder air for improved engine performance. New available 10-Spoke Visible Carbon-Fiber Wheel Designed with the known strength of carbon fiber to reduce section width and mass and improve aerodynamics. Covered Underbody A smooth underbody minimizes drag and reduces turbulence underneath ZR1 and also helps to engage downforce. Steering Wheel and Center Console The flat-top and -bottom steering wheel makes the unique ZR1 badging the focal point. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel with carbon-fiber accents is standard. cars in this video: Corvette C7 Z06 Corvette C8 Z51 Corvette C8 Z06 Corvette C8 E-Ray Corvette C8 ZR1
