2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Nürburgring Records

The “Green Hell”, officially known as the Nordschleife, is a highly complex, 20.83 km (12.94 miles) long track that is infamous for the dangers faced by drivers due to its many blind spots, possible weather variations, and severe elevation changes. And yet, it was on this track that the 2026 Corvette ZR1 managed an official time of 6:50.763, beating the previous North American champion, the Ford Mustang GTD (6:52.072).

Here are some of the performance features that enabled the Corvette ZR1 to do so:

• Performance Ratio Rear Axle
• Performance Traction Management
• ZR1 Performance Suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control™
• Performance Brembo® Carbon Ceramic Antilock Brakes
• Performance Exhaust

Currently, the only North American production vehicle that can top the ZR1 is its hybrid cousin, the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X. With a Nürburgring time of 6:49.275, the ZR1X is currently the most powerful American-made hypercar slated for release in the United States.
