Priced at a fraction of the cost of its competitors, the ZR1X undercuts the Ferrari F80, priced at approximately $3.9 million, and the McLaren W1, around $2.1 million.

Accelerating from zero to 60 mph in under two seconds and boasting a top speed of 233 mph, the ZR1X is the most powerful and speedy C8 Corvette. It has even set the fastest time for an American car on the Nürburgring track, with a time of 6:49.275 minutes.
The ZR1X is the most expensive version of the C8 Corvette that can be bought, and it offers more than just speed and power. The 3LZ trim package adds premium leather, carbon-fiber accents, and a Bose sound system, starting at $218,395 for the coupe and $228,395 for the convertible body style.
