Car enthusiasts visiting EPCOT have a brand-new reason to linger after the ride — one of the most powerful production Corvettes ever built has joined the General Motors vehicle showcase at the exit of Test Track.
Meet the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3LZ
The newest addition to the showcase is a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3LZ finished in Blade Silver Metallic. It sits in a circular display area beneath a Corvette wordmark in the attraction's post-show showroom — and it's quite the sight to behold.
An asymmetrical Edge Red and Carbon Flash dual racing stripe runs the full length of the car, coordinating with bright red brake calipers, Torch Red seat belts, and an asymmetrical Adrenaline Red and Jet Black interior. The car rides on 20-spoke Carbon Flash forged aluminum wheels, and the revived split rear window — one of the ZR1's signature design elements — is visible beneath a towering rear wing.
This ZR1 is equipped with the Carbon Fiber Aero Package, which adds a prominent carbon-fiber high-wing spoiler, dive planes, and a tall hood spoiler. Additional carbon-fiber elements include the front splitter, rocker panels, roof, and exterior accents.
Staggering Performance Numbers
The mid-engine ZR1 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter LT7 V8 paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Chevrolet rates the engine at 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque — making it the most powerful engine ever installed in a production Corvette and, according to Chevrolet, the most powerful V8 produced for a production vehicle by an American automaker.
According to Chevrolet, a properly equipped ZR1 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and complete a quarter-mile run in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph. A standard-aerodynamics ZR1 also achieved a two-way average top speed of 233 mph during testing in Germany.
Corvette ZR1 Track Records
The reverse side of the display car's placard highlights six high-performance lap times associated with the ZR1 model (not the specific car on display). Those times are:
- Watkins Glen Long Course: 1:52.7
- Road America: 2:08.6
- Road Atlanta: 1:22.8
- Virginia International Raceway Full Course: 1:47.7
- Virginia International Raceway Grand Course: 2:32.3
- Nürburgring Nordschleife: 6:50.76
Chevrolet detailed the five U.S. records in an official announcement. The EPCOT display car shares the same ZR1 powertrain and ZTK Performance Package used for those record-setting runs, making it broadly similar to those configurations.
What's Under the Window Sticker?
The EPCOT Corvette includes the $4,395 ZTK Performance Track Package and the $10,495 Carbon Fiber Aero Package. Other upgrades include Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Level 2, a front-lift system with adjustable height memory, a Stealth Interior Trim Package, custom Adrenaline Red leather stitching, and mixed seating — a Competition Sport bucket seat for the driver and a GT2 bucket seat for the passenger.
According to the accompanying window sticker, the base price of the Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3LZ is $191,400. With $27,700 in options and a $1,995 destination charge, the total listed price comes to $221,095.
About the Test Track Vehicle Showcase
After completing Test Track's outdoor high-speed finale, guests enter a post-show area that opens with a mural of the retro-futuristic city seen near the end of the attraction. A curved black pathway then leads through the General Motors vehicle showcase, where current GM vehicles are presented within rounded, blue-accented display areas. General Motors product specialists are on hand to explain features and answer questions.
It's worth noting that the showcase is not a dealership — guests cannot complete a vehicle purchase on location. However, interested guests can speak with a representative to begin the purchasing process, with any transaction and delivery handled through an authorized dealership.
The current showroom debuted alongside the latest reimagining of Test Track, which officially opened on July 22, 2025. That project returned the attraction to General Motors sponsorship after the previous version had been presented specifically by Chevrolet.
