@burgerbandit3646 The ZR1 is rumored to be in the 6:4X at the ring. That's way past the Veyron. So the Zora will most likely eclipse the top 5 times.
Awesome video! Considering how crazy powerful the ZR1 is, the Zora is going to be epic. Kudos to GM for creating it, and thank you for bringing videos like this to everyone.
Zora 1350hp. Active stabilization front motors, computer controlled active suspension. Track beast and fastest production corvette. 8.7 second Quarter mile. 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds.
You know what would be fucking awesome? If this had the GT3 RS MR type aerodynamics with an even bigger and taller wing, bigger diffuser, huge shark fin, massive canards/dive planes, bigger splitter, and some other aero shenanigans.
Rumors are that the ZORA will introduce a drastically different exterior look as well as a thoroughly revised interior. It’s drivetrain should be the ZR1s LT7 with its 1100 hp, paired with electric motors for an awd setup as previewed by the e-ray, so we could be looking towards a cabined power figure in the neighborhood of 1400 hp +.
More powerful electric drive than the E-Ray, the front-wheel drive electric motor have 255kw(342hp) power, it is the same electric motor on the GMC HUMMER EV 3x which has three 255kw motors.Zora equipped with rear drive LT7 TT V8 1064hp + front drive electric motor (255kw) 342hp , full power 1406hp AWD , that's insane.
@@IrishHooligan86 1200hp are you sure or is a speculation ? On the Zora the cornering speed shows much more than just 160hp on the front axle compared to the ZR1.

Where are all the so called experts than said the the ZR1 would not have the 5.5 from the Z06. The guys who were so called insiders saying no way the 5.5 can be twin turbo. The ZR1 will be cross plane, it will be the 6.2 with turbos, it will be a new motor, it will be the 4.0. Those guys disappeared fast.
As badass as this car is, I wonder if we’ll ever get a variant that has the front E-Motor with the N/A Z06 engine. That’d be a special car, maybe not as fast as the ZR-1, but have the traction ability of the E-Ray with more spice.
At a guess the car will have a version of the ZR1 motor and gearbox, combined with a version of the E-RAY motor and battery which should give the car at least 1225HP combined in an AWD configuration. With that sort of power it should give Ferrari and Lamborghini as well as some other manufacturers some stiff competition in the Hyper-car class. Who would have guessed the latest Corvette would end up being this good. 😎🇦🇺😉👍
Zora Arkus-Duntov, the great Vette engineer. I love that they named a model after him. Did you know that before Chev, he made the Ardun heads? They were for flathead Fords back in the day.
Then is it a supeecar or hypercar?? I wouldnt find it accurate calling it a supercar if it will have similar amount of power output with new upcoming Laferrari succesor which is a hypercar.
Sounds like 1300 hp hybrid assisted on pump gas . Now let's pour the e85 in it. Oh wait thats still pump gas, and show em what 1600 hp with a factory warranty sounds like 😂😂😂
So basically, what we might be looking at, based on what’s currently available in the Corvette spectrum, is a 1324 (They’ll probably make it 1320 for not so subtle reasons 🤭) horsepower, hybrid ZR1 with all wheel drive and tons of downforce, AND a price more than likely north of 200k… Also then trouncing all other options at that price point, if that particular engine placement and platform is right for the buyer… The horsepower wars have essentially gone, galactic. #GODThoughts 🙄
Tadge said the ZR1 would be the most expensive, so many people are thinking that the Zora is actually a version of the ZR1. The theory is.. if you go into a dealership to buy a ZR1 you can get the base version, the ZTK Pkg, or the Zora version.
So is it basically a ZR1 with the front axle electric motors from the E-Ray Corvette? The ZR1 seems insane already with 1064 HP. Not really sure how you top that?
Ok, if it's a 2026 model year, does that mean it has the new interior design language (?), probably will beat vehicles costing 3x more, and people will still talk S___ about it, again Corvette team, hats off on the whole family of C8 models, nothing touches them at their price points
This is amazing. Now please give the Corvette a wide body , a face lift, and a better tail lights. It has super car performance but not the supercar looks
That C8 is a game changer for sure, but what is the most shocking about it is that every class of Corvette is a bargain compared to the competition. Base vette with quite a few options brand new you can get for less than 80k and you can run with anything on the street. Step up to the Eray or Z06 for 150k and your kissing the Ford GT all over its ass. Your killing everything under that and that is a very long list. Upgrade to the ZR1 for around 200k and go to the strip and give them front wheel toters all the hell they need. If you must be the big dog grab that ZORA for around 280k and call out the baddest McClaren you can find and spot his ass, and when you're done blowing him and all his friends mind brag on how your car only cost 25% of what he paid and watch him cry. I guarantee they'll be calling you everyday saying they've found somebody that can beat you. In conclusion General Motors is going to be hard to beat they always have been. I'm ride or die GM top fan.
I have no sense of being able to detect or understand how this compares to anything else by watching these videos. But I will say it’s kind of odd that Tadge would retire before the Zora.
I guess they couldn't get the Z06 or ZR1 to lap it under 7 minutes so now they are trying an even heavier version the ZORA. Honestly, I'm done caring about this lap time since they never release it. I also can't stand electric cars.

That’s what I was thinking. It looks like it’s being pulled out of the corners
Even if this is just a ZR1 with the e-ray front motor that means it's going to have 1224hp and be all wheel drive when it matters. Insane.
