The Return of the Corvette ZR1: A 2025 Powerhouse
For 2025, Chevrolet is bringing back the legendary ZR1 nameplate, pushing the boundaries of performance for America’s sports car. The new ZR1 is expected to feature a supercharged 5.5L flat-plane crank V8, an evolution of the high-revving LT6 engine found in the Z06. This powerplant, rumored to produce over 800 horsepower, pairs with aggressive aerodynamics and cutting-edge technology to make the ZR1 the most track-capable Corvette yet.
To celebrate this high-performance machine, several leaders at Hennessey Performance configured their ideal ZR1 builds, showcasing a variety of styles and options. Here’s how they spec’d their dream Corvettes.
Jamie’s Track-Focused ZR1 with Bold Orange Accents

Jamie opted for a Sebring Orange Tintcoat finish, complemented by Carbon Flash with Silver accent full-length dual racing stripes for a striking, high-contrast look. To match the bold exterior, the interior features Habanero Napa leather seating with perforated inserts and orange seat belts, adding a vibrant touch to the cabin.
Performance and aerodynamics were a priority, with Jamie selecting the ZTK Track Performance Package, which enhances the ZR1’s capabilities with a high-mounted rear wing, aggressive front dive planes, and chassis tuning optimized for maximum downforce. The ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package further enhances aerodynamic efficiency with lightweight carbon
fiber components. Jamie also opted for the visible carbon fiber 10-spoke wheels and black exhaust tips, reinforcing the car’s aggressive stance.
Premium interior touches include the Carbon Fiber Interior Package Level 2, elevating the cockpit with extensive carbon fiber trim. A front lift system with memory ensures smooth navigation over speed bumps and steep driveways, while the Corvette Museum Delivery experience makes taking delivery of this ZR1 even more special.

Inside, he chose a Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red seats, featuring Napa leather seating surfaces with perforated sueded microfiber inserts for a balance of comfort and sportiness.
The cockpit is enhanced with a carbon fiber and sueded microfiber-wrapped steering wheel, providing a tactile and premium feel. Custom Adrenaline Red stitching and two-tone seats further elevate the interior aesthetics.

The ZTK Track Performance Package provides aerodynamic enhancements that improve downforce and stability.

For ultimate performance, Alex opted for the Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup 2R tires, maximizing grip on both road and track. The ZTK Track Performance Package further enhances aerodynamics, while the ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package completes the aggressive stance.
