It was only a matter of time before we found ourselves watching a Hennessey video featuring the new King of the Hill ZR1 and folks, that day is here!

Hennessey Performance is showing off a menacing Black 2026 Corvette ZR1 Coupe on their Instagram page and we just watched the car as it was run up to 200 MPH! The sound of the engine is amazing as it just continues to gather speed. “Relentless” is the term that Vehicle Chief Engineer Josh Holder uses to describe the ZR1s acceleration and it fits very well.

We actually have two videos from Hennessey to show you. The first video is just a teaser as we only see the new 2026 Corvette’s updated speedometer shown in Track Mode as it races to 200 MPH. The second video is from Instagram that shows the car making its debut at their Texas test track. It sounds like a Jet as it passes by the camera! What an amazing car!!

From Hennessey Performance via YouTube:

In this video, the Hennessey team stretches the ZR1’s legs on a closed course to explore its true top-speed potential. With 200+ MPH on tap, active aero working overtime, and a flat-plane twin-turbo V8 screaming toward the horizon, this is the kind of testing the ZR1 was built for.

Hennessey posted this next video to their Instagram page. They said “Our 2026 C8 ZR1 🦇🚀making its explosive debut on our test track! 🏁 #corvette #zr1 #1064hp”
