The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 produces 1,064 hp from a twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 flat-plane crank V8. That output makes it the most powerful production Corvette ever built, with 828 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature, with current inventory available at Greg Hubler Chevrolet.
The headline change is the LT7 engine itself. Displacing 5.5 liters with a flat-plane crankshaft, twin turbochargers, and an 8,000 RPM redline, it generates 1,064 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque. No prior production Corvette has come close to that number.
Two body styles are now offered: Coupe and Convertible. The Convertible adds a power-retractable Carbon Flash-painted hardtop with visible carbon fiber construction, giving open-air buyers a factory option that was not available in earlier ZR1 generations.
Color options expand the lineup with new additions including Pitch Gray Metallic and Admiral Blue Metallic, joining established choices like Competition Yellow Tintcoat, Sebring Orange Tintcoat, Roswell Green Metallic, Arctic White, Black, Blade Silver Metallic, Torch Red, and Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat.
Performance Brembo carbon ceramic antilock brakes are standard on every ZR1 trim. The optional Performance Alcon carbon ceramic antilock brakes represent the next step up for track-focused buyers. Visible carbon fiber ground effects are standard across the board.
The ZR1 is offered in four configurations: Coupe 1LZ, Coupe 3LZ, Convertible 1LZ, and Convertible 3LZ. Every configuration shares the same 1,064 hp LT7 engine and 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Coupe 1LZ is the entry point for the Coupe body. It includes GT1 bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, the 12.7-inch infotainment display with Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose Premium 10-speaker system, Head-Up Display, performance data and video recorder, ZR1 performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, standard Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, and 20-spoke Sterling Silver-painted forged aluminum wheels. The HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Camera Mirror, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking are also standard.
Convertible 1LZ mirrors the Coupe 1LZ content but swaps in the power-retractable Carbon Flash-painted carbon fiber hardtop and the Convertible Engine Appearance Package in place of the Coupe-specific items.
Coupe 3LZ adds a significant interior step up. Standard content includes GT2 bucket seats, a carbon fiber and leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats, the Sueded Microfiber-Wrapped Upper Interior Trim Package, Bose Performance Series 14-speaker audio system, Universal Home Remote, cargo nets, the Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience Package, front lift with memory, HD Front and Rear Vision Cameras, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and driver-side auto-dimming power-folding mirrors. Custom leather stitching options in Adrenaline Red, Competition Yellow, and Santorini Blue are also available on the 3LZ.
Convertible 3LZ pairs the open-air hardtop with all of the premium interior content listed on the Coupe 3LZ.
Notable options available across multiple trims include the ZTK Track Performance Package, the ZR1/ZR1X Carbon Fiber Aero Package, 10-spoke visible carbon fiber wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires sized 275/30ZR20 front and 345/25ZR21 rear, 20-spoke Carbon Flash-painted or Edge Blue-painted forged aluminum wheels, and the Corvette Engine Build Experience.

The 1LZ starts with GT1 bucket seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Moving to the 3LZ brings GT2 bucket seats as standard, with Competition Sport bucket seats and the Competition Sport driver seat with GT2 passenger seat available as options. Heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and the sueded microfiber-wrapped upper interior trim are all 3LZ standard content.
Interior personalization runs deep on the 3LZ. The Carbon Fiber Interior Package Level 2, Stealth Interior Trim Package, and multiple custom leather stitching colors give buyers a wide range of cabin configurations. The carbon fiber display hood is standard on all trims.
Overall length is 186.70 inches and overall height is 48.60 inches, making the ZR1 a low, compact two-seater built around the driver.
Every ZR1 trim includes a 12.7-inch center console display with Google Built-In as part of a three-screen driver command center. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard. 5G vehicle connectivity and Wi-Fi Hotspot capability are included across the lineup.

The 3LZ adds Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and HD Front and Rear Vision Cameras as standard content. Those systems are not standard on the 1LZ but are worth factoring into trim decisions for buyers who use the car in mixed driving environments.
Teen Driver is standard on both trims.
The 2027 ZR1 is built for buyers who want the maximum performance available in a production Corvette. The 1,064 hp output, flat-plane crank character, 8,000 RPM redline, and standard carbon ceramic brakes place it in territory previously reserved for European hypercars.
Buyers choosing between the 1LZ and 3LZ are mostly deciding on interior refinement and convenience tech. The powertrain and suspension hardware are identical. Buyers choosing between Coupe and Convertible are deciding on the open-air experience; the Convertible adds roughly 99 lbs of curb weight, 3,769 lbs versus 3,670 lbs, due to the hardtop mechanism.
Compared to the standard Stingray, the ZR1 is not an incremental step. It is a purpose-built performance variant with a unique engine, unique brake hardware, and a standard carbon fiber aero package that the Stingray cannot match.
Drivers in the Camby area and across the Greg Hubler Chevrolet footprint who are cross-shopping at this performance level will find the ZR1’s blend of track-ready hardware and daily-use technology difficult to match in the segment.
The 2027 ZR1 represents the top of what Chevrolet builds. At 1,064 hp, standard carbon ceramic brakes, and a three-screen performance cockpit, it delivers a driving experience that justifies every inch of its specification sheet.
