The 2026 Chevy Corvette ZR1X coupe will have a base price of $207,395; the convertible version will start at $217,395.
Stepping up to the top-spec 3LZ trim pushes the ZR1X coupe and convertible's base prices to $218,395 and $228,395, respectively.
Chevy has also introduced a limited-production ZR1X Quail Silver Edition, which features the first factory matte paint option since the C1 Corvette.
The odds of most humble Corvette fans having enough money to buy a seven-figure hypercar with Ferrari or McLaren badges are slim to none. However, there's a much wider pool of people who can afford the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X. Sure, its $207,395 base price is still out of reach for most folks, but that's a helluva deal for a 1250-hp hybrid all-wheel-drive supercar.
Corvette ZR1X Pricing
That price tag is for the ZR1X 1LZ coupe, but you'll need to add another $10K to gain access to the convertible version, which starts at $217,395. For those who want even more creature comforts, the better-equipped top-spec 3LZ trim is the way to go. The coupe starts at $218,395, and the convertible starts at $228,395. For comparison, the regular ZR1 coupe starts at $182,395, and the droptop model starts at $192,395. So, essentially, you're paying between $25,000 and $35,000 more for an extra 186 horsepower and two additional drive wheels—not to mention the bragging rights to say you own the most-over-the-top Vette ever built. Priceless.
The "Quail" Edition
The 2026 Corvette ZR1X will also offer a limited-production Quail Silver Edition. Don't be silly. It's not named after the pheasant-like bird. The special edition's name relates to the popular Monterey Car Week event known as the Quail, and the ZR1X Quail Silver Edition will make its public debut next week at Pebble Beach.
With a price that starts at $241,395, what makes the Quail Vette so special? Along with a fancy plaque, the 3LZ-based convertible-only special features the first factory matte paint option in six decades, dating all the way back to the C1 generation that spanned the 1957 to '59 model years. The modern-day color is called Blade Silver Matte, and it was inspired by the Inca Silver from the OG Corvettes. Inside, the Quail spec has upholstery that mixes Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray colors, with a hint of Habanero accents. Orange brake calipers mimic that interior element and pair with black exhaust tips and carbon-painted mirror caps.
The 2026 Chevy Corvette ZR1X will go on sale before the end of the year, and it will be built at GM's factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky, alongside the rest of the Corvette lineup.
