“From day one, we designed the mid-engine Corvette architecture with ZR1X in mind,” General Motors senior VP Ken Morris said in a statement. “This is the most revolutionary platform in Corvette history, supporting the widest range of American sports cars and delivering world-class performance at every level.”
According to the automaker, the ZR1X will benefit from the 2024 E-Ray, which was the first-ever AWD Corvette.
Chevy said the eAWD chassis designed for the E-Ray underwent a "significant upgrade" for the new ZR1X.
On the track, Chevy said the ZR1X has a Charge+ button that adjusts battery energy storage, push-to-pass and an optimum power strategy.
