Read the Full Story
After years of anticipation, the ultimate Corvette is finally here. Say hello to the 2026 Corvette ZR1X. It takes the best parts of the already atomic ZR1, namely the 1064-hp LT7 twin-turbo V-8, and pairs it with an upgraded version of the Corvette E-Ray's front-mounted electric motor. It has a combined 1250 horsepower and a stat sheet that'll have you seeking shelter. Oh, and it'll be available by the end of the year.
The 2026 Corvette ZR1X is the epitome of the C8-generation Corvette.
It pairs the LT7 twin-turbocharged V-8 from the ZR1 with an upgraded version of the E-Ray's electric motor.
The pairing gives the ZR1X all-wheel drive and combines to produce 1250 horsepower.
Chevy claims the power and all-wheel traction are enough to rocket the ZR1X to 60 mph in under 2.0 seconds.
It will also do the standing quarter-mile in under 9.0 seconds at a trap speed of more than 150 mph.
The ZR1X can simultaneously pull 1.0 g of latitudinal and longitudinal force, according to Chevy.
The ZR1X's interior offers a dual-tone color scheme where the driver's seat is red and the passenger's is black.
It's the same interior you'll find on the rest of the 2026 Corvette range, which means the ZR1X gets Chevy's upgraded screen layout
Full pricing hasn't yet been announced, but we're confident the new model will come in above the regular ZR1's $178,195 starting price.
Chevy plans to launch the ZR1X by the end of 2025.

Where Is the Electric Corvette GM Announced Back in 2022?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Hop in the Way Back Machine to three years ago and the electric Chevrolet Corvette was announced. Since then GM hasn't said a word, the car's never been mentioned again, and its existence seems to have all but been forgotten. Where is this thing? And why haven't prototypes even been spotted? In 2022 GM President Mark Reuss went live on CNBC and told Phil LeBeau an electrified Corvette was coming the next year, and an electric version would follow. No further timelines were given. The electrified Corvette Reuss confirmed was the E-Ray, which as the exec stated, launched the next year in 2023. But the electric Corvette hasn't been mentioned outside of the media asking about it since Reuss announced it in 2022. During the media backgrounder for the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, a Zora by another name, Motor1 asked the Corvette team about the MIA electric Corvette's timeline. Corvette Chief Engineer Josh Holder said, 'not soon,' and went on to say, ' I never say never.' The first response made sense, as prototypes haven't even been spotted for a Corvette lacking tailpipes or a combustion engine. The follow up comment hit weird, because Reuss confirmed the electric Corvette three years ago. Chevrolet spokesperson Trevor Thompkins told The Drive , 'To reiterate what Josh said and add further clarity, we have said previously an electric Corvette would be a part of the nameplate's lineup at some point in the future, we have no further details to announce today. ' Highly unlikely that GM hid the electric Corvette in plain sight and we've seen it. But, the automaker did reveal a next-gen C9 Corvette concept designed by a team in Birmingham, England. The concept? Said to be electric. The brief: Design a hypercar version of the Corvette and push the boundaries. The C8 ZR1X has officially pushed the Corvette nameplate into hypercar territory, presumably while embarrassing every automaker producing hypercars in terms of price when it goes on sale. With the recent departures of key stake holders on the Corvette team the question of whether we've reached peak Corvette has been raised. There will be be other Corvettes, presumably an electric Corvette, which was confirmed three years ago and reconfirmed by Thompkins to The Drive . The question is when? Got tips? Send 'em to tips@

Tested: The 2025 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum Dresses for the Job It Wants
Pros Posh and comfortable cabin Buttoned-down dynamics Last V-8 standing in the segment Cons Underwhelming sound system 24-inch wheels compromise ride Six-cylinder competitors are noticeably quicker Cadillac's cash cow is now a franchise. You want an Escalade? You've got choices. There's the electric Escalade IQ in regular and large sizes, the 'baby Escalade' Vistiq, the long-body Escalade ESV, and the original from which the others sprouted. This rapid brand expansion has redefined what an Escalade represents. No longer just a big box with a big engine and leather seats, Cadillac's large SUVs are establishing a new standard of American luxury. Size and power are part of that, of course, but the Escalade experience is now as much about a swanky cabin, trailblazing tech, and iconoclastic style. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum revamps luxury with a stylish interior, advanced tech, and a 6.2L V-8 engine. It features a new 55-inch screen, Super Cruise, and auto-opening doors. Despite lacking a more powerful turbocharged six, it offers refined driving dynamics and opulent comfort. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next That's on full display in the 2025 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum 4WD, the top-shelf gas guzzler. A midcycle refresh for 2025 lavishes attention on the interior like never before, and as a result you can no longer describe the big, bad Cad as a leather-lined Tahoe. Chevy who? The Escalade's redesigned cabin is so fresh that you might not even recognize it as a Cadillac's if it weren't for the badging. Cadillac's Inside Game While a new 55-inch screen dominates the cockpit, spend time in the updated Escalade, and it's the rich leather, real wood trim, aluminum-look accents, and upholstered lower dash that'll have you questioning if this is the same Cadillac that gave us the Catera. Many of these materials are recycled from the impressive 2021 redesign and now look even more premium thanks to the 2025 model's modern aesthetic. As with last year's Escalade, you'll have to hunt to find the few hard plastics hidden low in the cabin where the sun doesn't shine—and your hands rarely reach. That luxury carries through to the second and third rows even without the optional $7,500 Executive second-row seats. The standard Super Cruise hands-free system can turn the driver into a passenger on mapped roads so long as they keep their eyes looking forward. One of 2025's MotorTrend Best Tech winners, Super Cruise isn't just a lane centering system—it's the closest thing to a safe and useful autonomous vehicle that you can buy today. Run up on slower traffic, and it will change lanes, make a pass, and move back to the right with the natural grace of an attentive and courteous human. A recent mapping expansion has opened even more miles of select two-lane highways and back roads. The Sport Platinum's doors can drive themselves, too, opening and closing at the tug of a handle. That might sound gimmicky or superfluous, but our initial skepticism gave way to genuine appreciation with use. Cadillac nailed the execution, using sensors in the doors to stop them from bashing into people or neighboring cars, and as a result you can get a taste of Rolls-Royce opulence for the bargain price of $125,020 as tested. While Cadillac's gas vehicles still offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the infotainment system is good enough not to need them. It features native Google Maps and the ability to download streaming apps such as Spotify directly to the vehicle wrapped in an easy-to-learn interface—that is if you're willing to lean forward in your seat to use the touchscreen. A redundant click wheel lets you navigate the system from a natural driving position, but it can take a lot of scrolling and tapping to get to where you want to go. As cool as the panoramic screen looks, it's a shame that huge swathes of it serve as nothing more than digital wallpaper. In particular, the right third can only show a giant Escalade logo when the passenger isn't streaming a video (in which case the driver sees a blank black pane of glass). Another annoyance: Although you can download apps to the infotainment portion of the 55-inch display, the passenger and rear entertainment screens can only stream YouTube or Hulu and can't be customized. If your crew wants to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime, you'll have to plug in your own streaming device. The cabin's only major letdown is the AKG sound system, which in our test car lacked the dynamic range and surround-sound effect we expected based on our experience with pre-refresh Escalades. Cadillac sent a tech out to confirm everything was working as intended, but to our editors' ears it sounded like all 36 speakers were mounted either entirely in front of or entirely behind the driver depending on the settings. The Escalade's midcycle refresh drops the optional diesel engine but otherwise leaves the mechanicals unchanged. That's largely a good thing, as the full-size SUV with the heart of a Corvette wasn't lacking in personality. The small-block 6.2-liter V-8—the last V-8 in the full-size luxury SUV segment—cranks out 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque with a threatening rumble to match the new menacing front fascia. In MotorTrend testing, the Escalade hustled from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, shifting its 10-speed transmission with quick yet smooth action. Negotiating the real world, the engine jumps into action at the lightest poke of the throttle, building torque and revs with an immediacy that turbocharged engines struggle to match. It's quick to respond, but that's not the same as plain, old quick. The naturally aspirated V-8 doesn't have the juice to match its turbocharged six-cylinder competition. The Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Grand Wagoneer can hit 60 mph more than a second ahead of the Cadillac. We'd hate to see the Escalade drop its V-8, which is such a crucial part of its identity, but Cadillac at the very least needs to unlock some more power during the next redesign or risk being left in the dust. When the road twists and turns, the Escalade feels sharp, connected, and even playful for a 6,182-pound brick. The Caddy steers with confident precision, and the brake pedal has the same firm feel and short action you'll find in a CT5 sport sedan. A 117-foot stop from 60 mph places the Escalade ahead of the competition, but its overly aggressive stability control puts the kibosh on hard cornering at 0.71 g before the tires start to sing. Air springs and Magnetic Ride Control dampers keep body motions on a short leash in corners and over moonscape roads. The ride is firm yet forgiving, especially for something on 24-inch wheels (a $1,800 option). The pickiest luxury buyers might quibble over the occasional secondary ride motions and the way hard hits can excite some structural shake, but softening the suspension would likely erode some of the Cadillac's charm. Putting All the Pieces Together Cadillac set itself up for success with the 2021 redesign that poured more attention and money into the Escalade's interior. Doubling down on that investment with the latest makeover has pushed the Escalade even further upscale. The 2025 Escalade is a big, opulent cruiser with innovative technology, refined driving dynamics, and an impeccable sense of style. The last time Cadillac put all the pieces together like this, 'the Standard of the World' was more than just a slogan.

Corvette ZR1X vs. Stingray, E-Ray, Z06 and ZR1: How Do Chevy's Mid-Engine Sports Cars Stack Up?
Spot the differences Despite the massive range of power available across the quintet of C8 Corvettes, it can be tough to tell one from the next. Unless you have the wheel designs committed to memory (we don't), you might have to look for a badge to confirm precisely which level of American performance you're looking at. But there are some tells. The Stingray is the only non-widebody Corvette, and the trim around its side air intakes is sort of L-shaped. Stepping up to the E-Ray and beyond, the body is wider (those with sharp eyes can see a bit more plastic outboard of the headlights and taillights), and the air intake trim forms a pronounced Y. On the ZR1 and ZR1X, the leg of the Y has a second inlet for rear brake cooling. The Z06 with the aero package has a unique rear wing, while the massive spoiler available on both the ZR1 and ZR1X is hard to miss. The two ZR1 variants also have a deep-dish nose that sucks in even more cooling air at the expense of what is a frunk on other models. Look closely through the ZR1X's front wheels and you'll see 10-piston brake calipers wrapped around 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic discs, the largest ever offered on a 'Vette. Those will also be available on the ZR1, so you'll probably have to look for the big X on the badge aft of the doors to make one out from the other.
