The watch for the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is coming to an finish. June has arrived, which suggests the American supercar’s summer season debut is in sight.
On Monday, GM launched a teaser video on YouTube and social media that gave followers an opportunity to listen to what the 2025 Corvette ZR1’s powertrain seems like for longer than a second or two.
The engine revs within the video via the facility band and we hear a number of transmission shifts happen. The shifts crack off quickly and the engine revs shortly. The fast shifts point out that the ZR1 will use a dual-clutch automated transmission, identical to the remainder of the C8 Corvette lineup. No guide transmission is predicted.

The ZR1 will not be the highest of the Corvette meals chain in the course of the C8’s lifetime. A Zora mannequin, which is predicted to impress the C8’s powertrain by combining an electrical motor on the entrance axle and within the transmission with the ZR1’s twin-turbo LT7 engine, will arrive later because the exclamation level of the gas-powered lineup earlier than an electrical mannequin arrives.
