Expectations

Here’s what we expect from the 2025 Corvette:

Mid-cycle refresh for all variants, including Stingray, Z06, E-Ray and upcoming ZR1
- Redesigned screen and center stack
- Modified HVAC controls, with the “HVAC divider” being retired in favor of a different configuration
- Revised wireless phone charger
- Slightly modified front and rear fascias
- New wheel designs for all models and trims
Introduction of C8 ZR1 variant
- Powered by twin-turbo version of the 5.5L V8 LT6 in the Z06, known in the ZR1 as the LT7
- Faster albeit heavier than the C8 Z06, the C8 ZR1 will likely make around 800 horsepower
- Trim-specific wheel designs
- A massive rear wing, bigger than the optional wing on the C8 Z06, will be part of an optional aero package
- Adopts changes and updates from the refresh mentioned above

Powertrain

The 2025 Corvette Stingray carries over the engine and transmission choices from the 2022, 2023 and 2024 model years, the 2025 Corvette Z06 carries over the powertrain from the 2023 and 2024 model, and the 2025 Corvette E-Ray carries over its powertrain from the 2024 model. The expected Corvette ZR1 will add a new powertrain in the form of a twin-turbo V8.
