Cor-blimey: Europe’s first new Vettes arrive!

  • New Corvette ZR1 arrives in UK
  • Specially imported and left-hand drive
  • Priced from £365,000
  • Power of 1,064 bhp

Europe’s first new Corvette ZR1 supercars have arrived in the UK, bringing some serious American muscle to our shores.

The Vettes come via specialist high-performance retailer Clive Sutton.

With just fewer than 200 models in the initial 2025 production run, these twin-turbo V8 beasts are some of the rarest and most sought-after supercars on the continent.

The first pair to land include a striking Competition Yellow ZR1 with the full carbon-fibre aero package, alongside a black model with bold twin red racing stripes.

Each is equipped with an eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission.

How powerful is the Corvette ZR1?

The ZR1 is the most powerful Corvette ever.

It’s powered by a thunderous 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 that develops an astonishing 1,064 bhp.

The ZR1 will rocket from 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 233 mph - numbers that put even Europe’s finest performance machines in the shade.

The ZR1’s performance credentials are equally impressive on track: in June 2025, it posted a 6:50.76 Nürburgring lap time, making it the fastest American production car at the time, beating the Ford Mustang GTD.

How much does the Corvette ZR1 cost in the UK?

The ZR1 ain’t cheap.

With the Sutton team handling all sourcing, transportation, 10% import duty, 20% VAT, UK homologation and registration, UK customers will pay between £365,000 and £425,000, depending on the spec.

That’s almost double the price of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and you could get two Ferrari Amalfis.

Clive Sutton, Founder and CEO, said: “We’ve been importing the world’s most desirable high-performance and luxury vehicles for almost 40 years, but the ZR1 still gets the pulse racing. Securing Europe’s first models is a real milestone, and with two of the first three already sold, it’s clear demand far outstrips supply for this iconic American supercar.”
