New 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X in Bellevue, NE
New 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X in Bellevue, NE
Chevrolet built an American hypercar and priced it like a Porsche. The ZR1X pairs the ZR1's twin-turbocharged 1,064-horsepower LT7 V8 with a 186-horsepower electric motor driving the front axle, producing 1,250 combined horsepower and full electric all-wheel drive. It reaches 60 mph in 1.89 seconds, runs the quarter mile in 8.99 seconds at 157 mph, and tops out at 233 mph, making it the most powerful and most advanced production Corvette ever built. Standard carbon ceramic brakes use the largest rotors Chevrolet has ever fitted to a Corvette, and available aero generates over 1,200 pounds of downforce. It circled the Nürburgring in 6:49.275. Starting at $209,700 in coupe or convertible form. Contact Morrie's Bellevue Chevrolet about ZR1X allocation and ordering.

Aerodynamics Doing the Heavy Lifting
Carbon fiber comes standard on the splitter, rockers, roof, rear window surround, and side inlets, while the flow-through hood extracts intercooler heat. Add the Carbon Fiber Aero Package and the high wing, strakes, hood lip gurney, and dive planes make over 1,200 pounds of downforce.
Interior
Hypercar Data, Grand Touring Comfort
Large customizable displays put lap times, torque graphs, and energy strategy where you can read them at speed. The 3LZ adds heated and ventilated Napa leather seats, sueded microfiber trim, a heated carbon fiber steering wheel, and two wireless charging pads.
The 2026 Corvette ZR1X: Two Powertrains, One Mission
Chevrolet took the ZR1's twin-turbo LT7 V8, all 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of it, and added the electrified front axle strategy proven on the E-Ray. The front drive unit contributes 186 horsepower and 145 lb-ft directly to the front wheels, bringing the combined total to 1,250 horsepower and turning a rear-drive missile into an all-wheel-drive hypercar. The result is 1.89 seconds to 60 mph and an 8.99-second quarter mile at 157 mph, figures that put it in company costing many times more.
Stopping and sticking got equal attention. Standard carbon ceramic brakes use 16.5-inch rotors front and rear, the largest ever fitted to a Corvette, clamped by Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers. The available Carbon Fiber Aero Package produces over 1,200 pounds of downforce, the most of any production Corvette in history. On the Nürburgring, that combination delivered a 6:49.275 lap with Drew Cattell driving, quicker than the rear-drive ZR1 managed.
What makes it genuinely usable is how the hybrid system behaves. Stealth Mode runs on electricity alone for 4 to 5 miles at up to 45 mph, so you can leave a Bellevue neighborhood without waking it. Flying Start then hands off to the full V8 under throttle. On track, PTM Pro adds regenerative brake torque vectoring and front axle pre-control, with Endurance, Qualifying, and Push-to-Pass energy strategies. Ask us about ZR1X availability.
2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 2026 Corvette ZR1X cost?
The 2026 ZR1X starts at $209,700 for the 1LZ, which includes carbon ceramic brakes, a visible carbon fiber roof panel, the Performance Data Recorder, head-up display, and the Engine Appearance Package. The 3LZ opens at $220,700 and adds the 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system, heated and ventilated Napa leather seats, sueded microfiber trim, and memory seat recall. A fully optioned example shown by Chevrolet reaches $243,760.
How fast is the Corvette ZR1X?
Zero to 60 mph in 1.89 seconds, a quarter mile of 8.99 seconds at 157 mph, and a top track speed of 233 mph. It also lapped the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 49.275 seconds with GM engineer Drew Cattell driving, beating the rear-drive ZR1's time on the same circuit.
Is the ZR1X an electric car?
No, it is a hybrid. The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter LT7 V8 still drives the rear wheels and provides the great majority of the power. A separate electric drive unit powers the front axle, adding 186 horsepower and 145 lb-ft. There is no plug: the battery recharges through regenerative braking and engine load, so you never have to think about charging.
What is eAWD and why does it matter here?
The electric front axle gives the ZR1X all-wheel drive without a driveshaft running through the cabin. The system constantly monitors available grip and adjusts front torque in real time, which is what allows a 1,250-horsepower car to launch to 60 mph in under two seconds. It also improves composure in rain and cold, conditions that Nebraska supplies generously.
What are Stealth Mode and Flying Start?
Stealth Mode lets the ZR1X drive on electric power alone for 4 to 5 miles at speeds up to 45 mph, which means a quiet early departure without announcing yourself to the entire street. Flying Start is the handoff: start in Stealth Mode, press the throttle hard, and the twin-turbo V8 joins in to unleash the full combined output.
What brakes does the ZR1X use?
The largest Chevrolet has ever fitted to a Corvette, and they are standard rather than optional. Carbon ceramic rotors measure 16.5 inches front and rear, clamped by Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers. The size and material combination provides the heat resistance required to slow a car of this weight from these speeds repeatedly on a circuit.
How much does the ZR1X weigh?
Dry weight is 3,978 pounds for the coupe and 4,013 pounds for the convertible. The hybrid hardware adds mass compared to the rear-drive ZR1, but the added front-axle traction more than compensates in acceleration and, as the Nürburgring result shows, in lap time as well.
Should I choose the ZR1X or the ZR1?
Both use the same 1,064-horsepower LT7. The ZR1 is lighter, rear-wheel drive, and the purer analog experience for drivers who want the car to demand something of them. The ZR1X adds the electric front axle, all-wheel-drive traction, quicker launches, Stealth Mode, and the faster Nürburgring time, at roughly $25,000 more. Choose the ZR1 for feel, the ZR1X for outright capability. Contact our Corvette team to discuss allocation for either.
