C8 ZR1 Makes Road and Track's 2026 PCOTY ShortlistโFinally Time to Prove It
Chevrolet's twin-turbo mid-engine monster earned a spot among Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year contenders, giving the ZR1 a legitimate stage to justify its $110K+ price tag against purpose-built competition. With 1,064 hp and a sub-2.8-second 0-60, the question isn't whether it's fastโit's whether it can do anything else well enough to matter when judged alongside dedicated track specials.
PCOTY awards are where production cars get their real report card; the ZR1 finally has to compete outside the Corvette faithful's echo chamber.
