While the Corvette Z06 rocks a naturally aspirated setup with 670 horsepower on tap, the ZR1 is believed to adopt a pair of turbochargers. Forced induction is rumored to bump output to a colossal 850 hp but nothing is official yet so take this number with a proverbial pinch of salt. The LT6 engine inside the Z06 screams all the way up to 8,600 rpm and offers a peak torque of 460 pound-feet (626 Newton-meters). Adding two turbos should bring a considerable boost in torque. An internal document published by Hagerty<\/em> in April 2020 said torque would grow to a whopping 825 lb-ft (1,118 Nm).<\/p>\n As seen in the spy shots, Chevy tested different wing designs this week at the Green Hell. The illusion of a split rear window \u00e0 la 1963 Corvette C2 we saw last month on a heavily camouflaged test car at a gas station in Colorado appears to have vanished since these prototypes have regular glass.<\/p>\n Expect to see the ZR1 launch next year as a 2025MY. It won’t be the highest-performing Corvette C8 for long since Chevy is also believed to be working on a twin-turbo Zora hybrid with as much as 1,000 hp, 975 lb-ft (1,322 Nm), and all-wheel drive. In addition, a fully electric variant on the Ultium platform has been officially confirmed. Meanwhile, the mid-engine supercar has already been partially electrified with the E-Ray hybrid.<\/p>\n
