General Motors pulled the wrapper off the 2025 Corvette ZR1 last July, showing off the fastest, most powerful production Corvette ever made. As one might expect, the 2025 ZR1 presents a striking exterior design that helps to identify it as the top dog in the C8 lineup. In addition, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 looks quite good inside as well, and now, we’re doing a quick cabin design comparison between two ZR1 trim levels, namely the new ZR1 1LZ and ZR1 3LZ.
At first glance, the 2025 Corvette ZR1 cabin design looks similar to that of the rest of the C8 lineup, with a driver-focused layout that surrounds the lucky individual in the hot seat with an array of buttons and screens. The digital display behind the dash and adjacent to the steering wheel are tilted towards the driver, while the steering wheel itself includes two spokes and a flattened bottom and top. Also notable is a ZR1 logo at the bottom of the steering wheel.
However, looking more closely, we can identify some major design differences between the ZR1 1LZ and ZR1 3LZ trims. For example, the 3LZ is equipped with a microfiber and carbon fiber rimmed steering wheel, whereas the 1LZ’s steering wheel is covered in leather.

The seats are also a major point of departure for these two trims. The seats in the 3LZ offer heating and ventilation features, whereas the 1LZ does not. Both trims get eight-way power-adjustable seats, while the 3LZ adds power lumbar support and power bolster support. Finally, the 1LZ offers GT1 or Competition seats, while the 3LZ offers GT2 or Competition seats.
Also notable is the trim, with the 3LZ equipped with carbon fiber and leather-wrapped IP/console/door panels with sueded microfiber upper trim, whereas the 1LZ does not. Finally, on the infotainment spec, the 3LZ is equipped with a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series surround system, while the 1LZ gets 10-speaker Bose Premium system.

As a reminder, the new 2025 Corvette ZR1 is motivated by the twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7 gasoline engine, rated at 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm, enough to send the mid-engine supercar to a top speed in excess of 230 mph. All C8 variants ride on the GM Y2 platform, with production taking place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.
Orders for the 2025 Corvette ZR1 will begin next month.

Are 1LZ and 3LZ the only two C8 ZR1 trims like the C7?
Same stupid row of buttons.
If I am buying a ZR1 I plan to cheap out on the interior since its basically an economy car -that said I have zero interest in spending $Thousands on carbon fiber
I long for the late 60’s when Corvettes were gut busting driving machines. They were sex driven fun cars. Noisy monsters with a ride quality that made you know it was sports car, not an exotic electronic marvel that my insurance company and a growing number of Dealers want sell or touch.
