General Motors’ ZR1X isn’t just the world's most powerful Corvette — it’s also the first priced above $200,000.

The Detroit automaker revealed pricing for the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the sister to the ZR1, on Aug. 6, and it's the most expensive production Corvette.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X hypercar will also be available with an exclusive, limited production Quail Silver Limited Edition package, General Motors said Aug. 6.

The 1,250-horsepower vehicle sets a record for the automaker thanks to a dual powertrain system. The back wheels are powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5 L V8 engine that generates 828 pound-feet of torque while a 145 pound-foot battery sends power to the front axle electric motor.

The 2026 Corvette ZR1X coupe starts at $207,395 for the 1LZ coupe and $217,395 for the 1LZ convertible, with both prices inclusive of a $1,995 delivery charge.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is the automaker's first priced above $200,000.

The cost leapfrogs the previous most-expensive Corvette, the 2025 ZR1 which started at $174,995, itself a steep jump from the 2019 Corvette ZR1, which started at $121,000.

The ZR1X will be available by the end of 2025 after assembly at Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky.
