A 1,000-hp Chevrolet Corvette Zora is Apparently Coming in 2025

Hagerty recently got hold of a document containing General Motors’ plan for the Chevrolet Corvette in the coming years.

If the information is correct, a 1,000-horsepower variant called “Zora” will debut in 2025, using a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine backed by hybrid technology. Peak torque would amount to 975 pound-feet.
