1,000 horsepower Corvettes, from the factory. Man it is good to be an automotive enthusiast in 2026. With more than one offering above 1,000 horsepower, and multiple others not far below that four digit number, there has never been a better time to be a Corvette enthusiast looking to have some fun with your new Corvette. These cars are all very capable of having fun on open track days, club events, etc, and they will definitely be more capable than the average person sitting behind the wheel of one. So if you want something truly bad ass, they have you handled.
Check out the awesome testing video below and see just how this beast puts the power to the ground.
Video Description:
The numbers are in! We put the 1,064-hp ZR1 through our independent testing to find its 0-60 time, quarter-mile time, and Figure 8 lap time. How did it do?
Powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8, the rear-drive ZR1 pairs massive power with an extreme aero package: gigantic rear wing, flow-through hood, huge side inlets, and an aggressive splitter and underwing setup designed to maximize downforce and cooling. Check out the video to see the results, because we discovered there’s more to this car than just straight-line speed.
