Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Hits 233 MPH, Outpacing These 10 Hypercars

The 2025 Chevrolet C8 ZR1 sets an impressive benchmark with a top speed of 233 mph. Priced below $1 million, it stands as the fastest production car that doesn’t require modifications, aside from its seats. The vehicle that achieved this speed was a standard production model, marking it as one of the quickest cars ever manufactured by an American company. This model is now recognized as the fastest ZR1 and the fastest Corvette overall.

Driving the ZR1 test mule was GM’s president, Mark Reuss, who pushed the car to an astonishing 233.5 mph during a single run on the Papenburg test track in Germany. This remarkable achievement raises the bar for performance. Initially, the C7 ZR1 Corvette was considered the peak of the Corvette line, leading to questions of whether it would ever be surpassed. However, the C8 ZR1 has now proven that it can exceed the C7’s top speed of 212 mph, enhancing the Corvette’s status within the realm of speed.

Here are 10 supercars and hypercars that have a lower top speed than the 2025 Chevrolet C8 ZR1 Corvette.
