A “hypercar” is considered a step above a “supercar,” based on performance aspects of a vehicle such as speed, acceleration and 0-60 mph times.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X takes the 1,064-hp internal-combustion V8 from the Corvette ZR1 and pairs it with a hybrid powertrain on the front axle. Chevrolet claims that the Corvette ZR1X will tackle a quarter mile in less than 9 seconds, and sprint to 60 mph before your stopwatch sees 2 seconds.

Chevrolet has officially unveiled its most advanced Corvette yet—the 2026 Corvette ZR1X. Blending traditional V8 muscle with cutting-edge electrification, the ZR1X sets a new benchmark as a true American hypercar.
