2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X For Sale

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is the most powerful Corvette ever built, with 1,250 horsepower combined and electrified all-wheel drive. It keeps the ZR1's twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 V8 and adds a front-axle electric motor, so power reaches both ends of the car instead of the rear tires alone. That combination produces a sub-2.0-second 0-60 mph launch and traction the rear-drive ZR1 cannot match, all wrapped in a self-charging hybrid that never needs a plug or a charging stop.

George Nunnally Chevrolet sells and services the ZR1X for drivers across Northwest Arkansas, and this halo Corvette is an allocation-limited build in the Bentonville market. Here you will find how the ZR1X differs from the ZR1, how its powertrain and chassis work, and how it is priced. For the full engineering picture you can open the Corvette specs and dimensions reference, the technology and interior breakdown, or the side-by-side Corvette models compared guide.

What the ZR1X Adds Over the ZR1

The ZR1 already produces 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft from its LT7 V8, sent to the rear wheels. The ZR1X keeps that engine and layers a 186-horsepower, 145 lb-ft electric motor onto the front axle. Combined output climbs to 1,250 horsepower, and the front motor turns the car into an electrified all-wheel-drive machine that can bite at both axles off the line.

That hardware carries a weight cost. At 3,914 lb in coupe form, the ZR1X is the heaviest Corvette ever, a direct result of the hybrid system and front drive unit. In exchange, it delivers a tested 1.89-second 0-60 mph run on an unprepped surface with the ZTK Package, and a GM-validated quarter mile of about 8.6 seconds at roughly 159 mph on a prepped surface. If you want the rear-drive ZR1 or the lighter hybrid, compare the ZR1 for sale and the all-wheel-drive E-Ray.

2026 ZR1X Engine and All-Wheel Drive

The heart of the ZR1X is the twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 V8 rated at 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft. Ahead of the cockpit sits the 186-horsepower, 145 lb-ft electric motor that drives the front wheels, and the two work together for 1,250 combined horsepower routed through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. The electric side draws from a 1.9 kWh lithium-ion battery that is self-charging — there is no plug, and no need to stop and charge.

Drive modes let you shape the delivery, including PTM Pro, Push-to-Pass, Qualifying, and Endurance settings, plus a Stealth electric-only mode that runs on the battery to about 45 mph. Freezing-rain winters and steep, wet ramps are where an all-wheel-drive launch turns raw power into traction. Because output and consumption sit at the extreme end of the scale, a federal Gas Guzzler tax applies to the ZR1X; the exact amount is shown at purchase.

ZR1X Chassis, Brakes and Aerodynamics

Stopping power matches the pace. The ZR1X uses standard carbon-ceramic brakes with 16.5-inch rotors front and rear, clamped by Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers — the largest ever fitted to a Corvette. A wide body gives the car the footprint and cooling it needs, and when equipped with ZTK aero it generates up to 1,200 lb of downforce to plant the car through fast corners.

For Northwest Arkansas drivers, that hardware is more than track theater. The carbon-ceramic system resists fade on long descents off the Ozark Plateau, and the downforce and all-wheel-drive footing steady the car on quick, rolling sections of AR-12 and US-62.

ZR1X Pricing and Packages

The ZR1X is offered as a coupe and a convertible, in 1LZ and 3LZ trim levels. Starting MSRP figures below exclude destination, and the Gas Guzzler tax is shown separately at purchase.

Every ZR1X is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty. To model a monthly figure on your configuration, use the payment calculator or start a request through financing.

Where the ZR1X Sits in the Corvette Lineup

The ZR1X still offers the Corvette's 12.6 cubic feet of two-trunk cargo, and the broader lineup starts at $70,000 with the Stingray.

The ZR1X sits at the very top of the 2026 Corvette range. It is more powerful than the rear-drive ZR1 and adds all-wheel drive that the ZR1 does not offer, while the E-Ray is the more attainable all-wheel-drive hybrid built around a naturally different mission. Two seats, one focus: maximum capability. To see the whole family in one place, open the Corvette research hub for NWA or browse every Corvette in stock.

How is the ZR1X different from the ZR1?

The ZR1X uses the same LT7 V8 as the ZR1 but adds a front electric motor for all-wheel drive and 1,250 combined horsepower, versus 1,064 for the ZR1. It also carries standard carbon-ceramic brakes with the largest calipers ever on a Corvette, and it is the heaviest Corvette ever at 3,914 lb in coupe form.
