The chance to own Chevrolet’s most powerful Corvette yet is here — and readers of Modern Car Collector get double the entries, but time is running out. Entries close September 28 for the sweepstakes to win a 2026 Corvette ZR1 Coupe with the ZTK Performance Package, finished in striking Sebring Orange.
The ZR1 has long carried the nickname “King of the Hill,” and the newest model more than earns it. At its heart is a 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8, dubbed the LT7, producing 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque. According to Chevrolet, that makes it not only the most powerful Corvette ever but also the most powerful factory-produced V8 in American automotive history.
Performance figures underscore its supercar credentials. Chevrolet estimates the ZR1 will sprint the quarter mile in under 10 seconds and reach a track top speed of 233 mph. A purposeful carbon-fiber aero package creates more than 1,200 pounds of downforce at speed, while Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires mounted on staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels keep the coupe planted.
Inside, the 3LZ package ensures the cabin feels as special as the powertrain sounds. The interior features premium materials, modern conveniences, and ZR1-specific details that tie the design to its performance focus.
For collectors and enthusiasts, the return of the split rear window — a nod to the iconic 1963 Sting Ray — adds to the ZR1’s appeal. “There is an insatiable thirst in the sports car world for the ultimate in performance,” said Josh Holder, Corvette’s chief engineer. “And the ZR1 is certainly that in the Corvette lineup.”
With the sweepstakes ending soon, entrants have only days left to secure a shot at one of the most anticipated Corvettes ever built.
