A walkaround video of Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1X from the New York Auto Show spread online on April 18, giving enthusiasts a close look at the car before any fresh U.S. technical briefing tied to the clip. (x.com) The video shows the ZR1X on the show floor with a deep front splitter, large side intakes, a wide rear track, and a tall rear wing aimed at adding downforce, the force that pushes a car into the road at speed. (x.com) Chevrolet already positions the 2026 Corvette ZR1X as the top car in the Corvette range, above Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1, and says the model combines the ZR1’s twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 with the E-Ray’s front electric drive unit. (chevrolet.com, chevrolet.com) That setup matters because the ZR1X is not just a trim package with extra bodywork. Chevrolet says the gas engine makes 1,064 horsepower, the front motor adds 186 horsepower, and the combined output reaches 1,250 horsepower with electric all-wheel drive. (chevrolet.com) The car’s shape is built around cooling and grip as much as styling. Chevrolet says the ZR1X uses the same LT7 V8 architecture as the ZR1, while the visible aero parts in clips from New York match the company’s push toward track-focused hardware across the upper Corvette lineup. (chevrolet.com, chevrolet.com) The New York appearance also puts a physical car in front of the public after Chevrolet moved the ZR1X onto its consumer site and online configurator, where the 2026 model is listed in 1LZ and 3LZ trims. (chevrolet.com, chevrolet.com) Chevrolet’s configurator lists the 2026 Corvette ZR1X at $209,595 for the 1LZ and $220,595 for the 3LZ, putting the hybrid flagship well above the 2025 ZR1 it builds on. (chevrolet.com, chevrolet.com) Independent videos from the 2026 New York International Auto Show show the same car from multiple angles, suggesting the online clip is part of a broader wave of attendee footage rather than a new factory reveal. (youtube.com, alamy.com) For now, the April 18 walkaround is filling in the small details — stance, vents, wing, and bodywork — while Chevrolet’s own materials define the bigger picture: a 2026 Corvette flagship with 1,250 horsepower and all-wheel drive.
