2025 Corvette ZR1's Mechanical SECRETS (w/ Chief Engineer)
6,187
Publicado 2024-07-25
...thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter flat-plane V8. There's a lot more to it than the big numbers, though. Luckily, we got to talk to several of the lead engineers behind the car, including its executive chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
The Z06's LT6 engine and the ZR1's LT7 are closely related, and some parts on the LT6 are clearly made to accommodate the ZR1's turbocharging system. The dry sump oil tank, for instance, is common between the two engines; However, it's sculpted to avoid turbocharger plumbing. Since the Z06 debuted first, this detail and others have been hiding in plain sight the entire time.
All of these details and more—like hints of an even more powerful Corvette—were part of a great discussion with the Corvette team while they whisked Peter around a full-sized cutaway of a ZR1. And before you watch, yes, he forgot to take off his backpack for the entire thing. Sorry.
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the most powerful V-8 American production car ever. It has a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 with 1,064 horsepower, 828 pound-feet of torque, and an 8,000-RPM redline. For more ZR1 content, see the links below:

It's amazing listening to engineers casually talk about ~6 years worth of work and development on a car that will likely break a ton of records like it's no big deal.
-
That was painful to watch,. Not sure how a kid who knows nothing about the C8 gets an interview with the chief engineer.
-
what could possibly be in that backpack that you couldnt set it down to speak respectively with the lead engineer? thanks for the information but come on buddy.
-
I guess back packs are the new teddy bear
-
The amount of nervous laughing, from the kid waiting for the school bus, was painful
-
I enjoyed the deep dive, interview skills need a little work, but good effort and some good questions asked. Keep at it!
-
What I don't understand is how can someone laugh at their own comments immediately after blurting something out.. This is painful to watch.. This isn't Jay Leno.. We're here for geek talk not how many laughs can I get in to fill the dead awkward silence as I transition and think about my next question. Needs polishing..
-
This kid was either extremely nervous or retatded
-
Terrific video explaining the details of the C8 ZR1 with the team that developed it!
-
You should have me do the interviews. This was painful
-
Use a shotgun mic next time
-
The interviewer laughs too much.
-
A ETS twin turbo regular engine C8 has done the quarter mile in 8.64 seconds @ 170 MPH. Wonder just how fast this ZR1 will be? This time is faster than a Lucid Sapphire and comes very close to the Nevera which costs $2.4 million!
-
You need Chris Harris from the UK …
-
This guy laughs more about nothing then Kamala Harris
-
What a nerd fanboy
-
I enjoy the engineers...who is this annoying kid?
-
This kid is soo annoying
-
What a terrible quality video
-
1064 hp that is fast but the top speed is very bad 205 I expect to be fast as a Bugatti Veyron or McLaren speedtail
