We got the numbers, and more! The 1,250-horsepower ZR1X has been through our independent instrumented testing, plus some damp track laps and a drift session. We even dusted the pavement this time. But how quick is it to 60 mph, through the quarter-mile, and around our figure eight course? Is X gon' deliver it to ya? Combining the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 of the rear-drive ZR1 with an enhanced version of the front electric motor from the all-wheel drive E-Ray, the ZR1X promises the ultimate Corvette powertrain, with the Nurburgring lap time to prove it. Watch the video to see the results, because they're not as cut-and-dry as we expected.

Tested! Just How Quick Is the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X?

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine. Ford calls it “a supercar with the soul of a Mustang,” and the GTD proves it on track and on the road.

The Corvette team isn’t slowing down. Just after the insane 1,250-hp ZR1X, Chevy drops TWO more models: the all-new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and the hybrid Grand Sport X.

A naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 pushing 535 horsepower, paired with widebody Z06 hardware and serious track-ready upgrades. And if that’s not enough, the Grand Sport X brings AWD hybrid performance with 721 horsepower and supercar-level acceleration.

The Ferrari 296 GTB is something of a legend in the MotorTrend offices given that it's the quickest rear-wheel-drive production car we've tested to date. The 296 GTB is something of a line in the sand for Ferrari: a mid-engined twin-turbo V-6 with an electric motor. Its halo SF90 may have two more cylinders and three electric motors as opposed to the single one in this, but the 296 has a livability that makes It genuinely compelling
