How Expensive Can The Corvette ZR1 Get? Try $238K With All The Options

The new Corvette ZR1 was never going to be cheap, but now we know just how much a fully loaded one costs. The base ZR1 coupe starts at $174,995, while the hardtop convertible jumps to $184,995. But that's just the beginning—once you start adding options, the price skyrockets.

For those who want the top-tier experience, the 3LZ trim adds premium seats, leather, extra cameras, a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, and more. The Corvette ZR1 3LZ coupe starts at $185,995, while the convertible version begins at $195,995.

Then comes the real fun: options.The priciest add-on? A set of staggered 20- and 21-inch carbon fiber wheels for a whopping $13,995. The Carbon Fiber Aero package, which includes a massive rear wing, dive planes, and a tall hood spoiler, costs $8,495. If you want the ZTK Track Performance package—Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires and a track-tuned suspension—that’s another $1,500, but you’ll need to get the Carbon Fiber Aero package first.

From there, the list of extras keeps going. Carbon fiber interior trim is $4,995, while the engine cross brace (for coupes) costs $2,895. The $2,595 Front Lift system is a must if you have a steep driveway. Dual roof panels on the coupe? That’s $2,295. You can even get racing stripes, custom seat stitching, black exhaust tips, and special "Jake" logo floor mats.

If you check every box, the most expensive ZR1 3LZ Convertible comes to $238,385, while the fully loaded 3LZ Coupe lands at $232,755.That may sound like a lot, but consider the competition. A Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts at $224,495. The Mustang GTD is expected to cost around $325,000. And the Lamborghini Revuelto? That’s a cool $612,852. But the Corvette ZR1 has something none of those cars do—a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 pushing 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque.

It rockets from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and tops out at 233 mph. It’s already shattered lap records at tracks like Road America and VIR, beating out cars like the McLaren Senna and Porsche 911 GT3. Although it costs nearly $240,000, considering its speed and performance, it could be the most affordable supercar available.
