The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X produces 1,250 horsepower through a twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 V8 paired with a front electric drive unit in an eAWD hybrid system. That combination makes the ZR1X a new nameplate, not a carry-over trim, representing the most powerful production Corvette ever sold. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature change, with ZR1X inventory available at Greg Hubler Chevrolet serving Camby, IN.
The ZR1X is the headline change for 2027, and it is not an incremental update. Chevrolet added a front electric drive unit to the existing ZR1’s twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 V8 to create an eAWD gas/electric hybrid system rated at 1,250 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque. The flat-plane-crank V8 carries an 8,000 RPM redline and routes power through an 8-speed automatic transmission while the electric front axle handles all-wheel torque distribution independently.
Two new exterior colors join the palette for 2027: Pitch Gray Metallic and Admiral Blue Metallic. The ZR1X also introduces a standard Performance App with live horsepower and torque graphs, real-time data screens, and a standard performance data and video recorder across all trims.
Driver-selectable Performance Traction Management Pro (PTM Pro) modes are standard, offering Track, Sport, and Wet/Snow settings plus custom configurations. Performance Alcon carbon ceramic brakes are standard on every ZR1X.
The ZR1X is offered in four configurations: Coupe and Convertible, each available in 1LZ and 3LZ equipment packages.
ZR1X Coupe 1LZ is the entry point for the coupe body. Standard content includes GT1 bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 12.7-inch infotainment display with Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose Premium 10-speaker audio system, Head-Up Display, Rear Camera Mirror, performance data and video recorder, visible carbon fiber ground effects, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S run-flat summer tires, and 20-spoke Sterling Silver-painted forged aluminum wheels. HD Rear Vision Camera is standard on 1LZ Coupe.
ZR1X Coupe 3LZ adds a substantial comfort and technology upgrade. GT2 bucket seats and heated/ventilated front seats come standard. The Bose Premium 10-speaker system upgrades to the Bose Performance Series 14-speaker system. A carbon fiber and leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated steering wheel, Sueded Microfiber-Wrapped Upper Interior Trim Package, Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience Package, Universal Home Remote, cargo nets, and HD Front and Rear Vision Cameras are all included. Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are standard on 3LZ but not on 1LZ. Front lift with memory also arrives at the 3LZ level.
ZR1X Convertible 1LZ mirrors the coupe equipment package with one key distinction: the power-retractable visible carbon fiber convertible hardtop is standard. The Coupe Engine Appearance Package is not available on Convertibles.
ZR1X Convertible 3LZ mirrors the coupe 3LZ equipment package with the same premium interior, safety, comfort, and technology content, plus the standard power-retractable visible carbon fiber convertible hardtop.
Available options across trims include the ZTK Track Performance Package, 10-spoke visible carbon fiber wheels, ZR1/ZR1X Carbon Fiber Aero Package, Competition Sport bucket seats, Carbon Fiber Interior Package Level 2, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, full-length dual racing stripes, and the optional Corvette Engine Build Experience.

Driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, stability control, and traction control are standard on every ZR1X configuration.
The ZR1X targets buyers who want a track-capable Corvette with all-weather traction from the eAWD system and who value the added power of 1,250 hp over the naturally aspirated or single-turbocharged configurations of earlier Corvette generations. The eAWD layout gives the ZR1X an advantage on wet surfaces that rear-drive Corvettes cannot match.
Buyers upgrading from a C8 Z06 or ZR1 will notice the electric front axle changes the torque feel at corner exit. PTM Pro’s custom modes allow experienced drivers to dial in exactly how aggressively the front unit contributes.
For buyers in the Camby area who are deciding between the Coupe and Convertible, the Convertible adds roughly 99 lbs of curb weight but brings the power-retractable carbon fiber hardtop as a standard feature on both Convertible configurations.
