The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X 1LZ Convertible is the entry trim of Chevrolet’s hybrid hypercar lineup, combining the twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter LT7 V8 producing 1,064 horsepower with a 186-horsepower front electric motor for a combined 1,250 horsepower and electrified all-wheel drive.
The advanced hybrid system uses a front electric drive unit and 1.9-kWh battery pack, allowing instant torque delivery and improved traction while enabling acceleration from 0–60 mph in under two seconds and quarter-mile times under nine seconds.
The 1LZ trim focuses on performance while maintaining essential comfort features, including GT1 or Competition Sport power seats, Bose 10-speaker audio, Performance Data Recorder, head-up display, and carbon-fiber exterior components.
With 1,250 horsepower, electrified AWD traction, carbon-ceramic brakes, and Magnetic Ride Control suspension, the ZR1X Convertible represents the most advanced Corvette platform ever produced and one of the fastest production convertibles in the world.
