Chevrolet on Thursday released pricing for the 2025 Corvette ZR1. The mid-engine supercar will start at $174,995 including destination, making it the most expensive Corvette ever.

The ZR1 is still a relative bargain, considering what you get for your money. Behind the driver sits a 5.5-liter flat-plane, twin-turbo V-8 outputting 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Corvette released by the factory. Chevy claims a 0-60 time of 2.3 seconds, and proved a top speed of 233 mph with a video released back in October.

There's also a smattering of extra aerodynamics, with 1,200 pounds of downforce on tap when equipped with the $8,495 optional carbon-fiber aero package. If you get than and plan on doing serious track work, there's the $1,500 ZTK Performance Package, which adds stiffer springs, retuned magnetic ride control dampers, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. All ZR1s get a carbon-fiber roof, carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon exterior trim, and Chevy's Performance Data Recorder as standard.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Price (Incl. Destination) 1LZ Coupe $174,995 1LZ Convertible $184,995 3LZ Coupe $185,995 3LZ Convertible $195,995

The 2025 ZR1 will be available in two trims, 1LZ and 3LZ. Both are available with the Corvette's power-folding hardtop, which adds $10,000 to the MSRP. The 1LZ model is well-equipped, with your choice of two different eight-way power seats, an electronic rear-view mirror camera, a 10-speaker Bose speaker system, and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster.

Opting for the fancier 3LZ trim will cost you $11,000, and adds heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, a front-view camera for low speed maneuvers, heated side mirrors, blind zone alert, a wireless phone charger, carbon fiber shift paddles, and a smattering of leather throughout the interior.

If $174,995 sounds like a lot of money for a Corvette, consider this handy chart Chevrolet provided alongside pricing, published below. While numbers aren't everything, having a car that outpaces Porsches, Ferraris, McLarens, and Lamborghinis while undercutting on price is still damn impressive.

This has always been the Corvette's ethos, after all. It's just happening on a far more exciting end of the sports car spectrum. And we're all for it.
