Corvette ZR1 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The ZR1 is the track-focused top of the standard Corvette line. This page looks at what the ZR1 costs by body style and equipment level, what is charged on top of the base price, and how the price changed between model years.

The figures below are 2027 MSRPs before destination. Other Corvette models are covered on their own pages, so only the ZR1 is priced here.

The ZR1 comes in coupe and convertible form, and each can be had in 1LZ or 3LZ equipment level. The 1LZ Coupe is the entry point at $194,700. The 3LZ Coupe is listed at $205,700, the 1LZ Convertible at $204,700, and the 3LZ Convertible at $215,700.

Two patterns stand out. The convertible costs more than the matching coupe, and the 3LZ costs more than the matching 1LZ. Choosing a 3LZ Convertible stacks both steps and lands at the top of the list.

The delivery freight charge for the 2027 Corvette is $2,495, and it is not part of the MSRP figures above. Add it when you work out the real starting cost.

The SU1 carbon fiber wheels are listed at $15,995. They are one of the more expensive single options on the car, so decide early whether they are worth it. Other options exist, but no other option prices were verified for this page.

After a December 2025 increase, the 2026 ZR1 1LZ Coupe was listed at $182,000, and the 2026 3LZ Convertible at $203,000. The 2026 destination charge from that point was $2,495.

Compared with the 2027 list, the 1LZ Coupe moved up from $182,000 to $194,700, and the 3LZ Convertible from $203,000 to $215,700. Destination stayed at the same figure. If you are choosing between a leftover 2026 car and a new 2027 order, compare the two prices and the equipment on each.

• Body style: The convertible adds to the coupe price.
• Equipment level: The 3LZ sits above the 1LZ.
• Options: Wheels, paint, and packages add up quickly on a car at this level.
• Destination: The freight charge is added to every car.
• Dealer pricing: A dealer may add to or discount from the sticker.

Demand for the top Corvette can exceed what a dealer receives. Dealers get a limited number of cars from the factory, and some keep a list of buyers waiting for an allocation. In that situation, you may be offered a car at a price above MSRP or be asked to put down a deposit.

Ask whether the dealer is charging above the sticker price, what the deposit terms are, and whether the deposit is refundable. Get the answers in writing, and ask more than one Chevrolet dealer.

• Insurance: Rates depend on your location, record, and how the car is used. Request quotes before you order.
• Tires and brakes: High-performance parts wear faster and cost more.
• Service: Maintenance costs depend on the dealer and the work required.
• Depreciation: Value changes over time, and the rate depends on demand and mileage.
• Storage and care: Many owners keep a car like this in a garage and may budget for upkeep.

Payments depend on credit, term, and down payment. Compare the dealer's financing with an offer from your own bank or credit union. For decisions about borrowing, consider speaking with a licensed financial professional.
