The 2026 Corvette ZR1X Makes These Million-Dollar Hypercars Seem Slow
With 1,250 horsepower and hybrid all-wheel drive, the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X pushes the C8 into its hypercar era—but at a fraction of the price.
The 2026 Corvette ZR1X doesn’t just keep pace with modern hypercars—it hurts their feelings with raw output while maintaining a (relatively) attainable price point. To show just how wild its performance figures are, here are 10 supercars and hypercars that the ZR1X outguns in raw horsepower, even while many of them cost two or three times as much.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Horsepower: 986 hp Price: $524,814 Ferrari’s plug-in hybrid is fast, complex, and technologically advanced—but it’s still over 250 hp shy of the 2026 Corvette ZR1X, despite costing more than twice as much.
Lamborghini Revuelto
Horsepower: 1,001 hp Price: $608,000 Lamborghini’s first hybrid V12 supercar pairs combustion drama with e-power. But even with a screaming 6.5-liter V12 and three electric motors, it still trails the ZR1X’s output by 250 horsies.
McLaren P1
Horsepower: 903 hp Price: $1,150,000 A legend from the first hypercar hybrid trio, the P1 helped define performance in the 2010s. But by today’s standards, it’s almost 350 hp behind.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Horsepower: 1,200 hp Price: $2,400,000 Once the pinnacle of automotive excess, the quad-turbo V16 Veyron SS still can't match the ZR1X’s peak figure. The Chevy pulls ahead by 50 hp—for possibly 1/10th the cost.
Aston Martin Valkyrie
Horsepower: 1,160 hp Price: $3,000,000+ Developed with F1 know-how and a Cosworth V12, the Valkyrie was meant to bring the hypercar experience to the street. It’s still outgunned by a hybrid Corvette that looks like an early 2000s bicycle helmet and is built by dudes from Kentucky.
Koenigsegg Regera
Horsepower: 1,100 hp Price: $2,000,000+ Using a direct-drive hybrid setup and twin-turbo V8, the Regera is no slouch. But Chevrolet’s engineers have managed to extract more horsepower using more conventional parts and production methods.
Porsche 918 Spyder
Horsepower: 887 hp Price: $845,000 Porsche’s pioneering plug-in hypercar blends electric torque with a screaming V8. Yet it's now closer to the Corvette Z06 in output than the 2026 Corvette ZR1X.
Pagani Huayra
Horsepower: 730 hp Price: $3,400,000 Artful, rare, and built with obsessive detail, the Huayra is everything that you imagine an exotic car should be. But in terms of output, it’s absolutely demolished by the 2026 Corvette ZR1X—despite costing nearly 14 times more.
Mercedes-AMG One
Horsepower: 1,063 hp Price: $2,700,000 Built using a literal Formula 1 powertrain, the AMG One is a marvel of engineering. But in terms of output, the ZR1X surpasses it by nearly 200 hp.
Ferrari LaFerrari
Horsepower: 950 hp Price: $1,416,362 Ferrari’s first hybrid hypercar brought KERS tech to the street. Now, the 2026 Corvette ZR1X eclipses it by a full 300 horsepower.
