A similarly-powerful Ferrari and a similarly-extreme 911 helped GM zero in on what exactly the ultimate Corvette would become.
When developing a new car, automakers regularly purchase vehicles from competitors to study and compare with their upcoming models. Acura, for instance, purchased a Ferrari 458 Italia and and a 911 GT3 when building the second-generation NSX. We now know at least two cars that Chevrolet used as comparison points when developing the outrageous new 2025 Corvette ZR1: the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
The SF90 used for ZR1 benchmarking was also seen testing at a GM proving ground, although it was thought at the time to be a benchmark for the E-Ray hybrid. Like the E-Ray, the SF90 is a hybrid that combines a V-8 with electric motors. Thanks to that system, the SF90 produces an enormous 986 combined horsepower, and serves as the top series production car in the modern Ferrari lineup. That number is, of course, still not quite equal to the ZR1's massive power output.
