The ZR1’s turbos are the largest ever installed on a production passenger car, according to GM. The inertia of such large turbos is a recipe for turbo lag—that’s the delay between the time when a driver floors the gas pedal and the engine’s turbo reaches full boost to provide maximum power.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X takes the 1,064-hp internal-combustion V8 from the Corvette ZR1 and pairs it with a hybrid powertrain on the front axle. Chevrolet claims that the Corvette ZR1X will tackle a quarter mile in less than 9 seconds, and sprint to 60 mph before your stopwatch sees 2 seconds.
