General Motors unveiled the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X on Tuesday, describing it as a “hypercar” that builds upon the Corvette E-Ray hybrid released last year. This high-performance vehicle represents the next evolution in the iconic Corvette lineup,

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.

A “hypercar” is considered a step above a “supercar,” based on performance aspects of a vehicle such as speed, acceleration and 0-60 mph times.
