Chevy Engineer: Here’s Why The Corvette ZR1 Doesn’t Have Active Aero

  • The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 can produce 1,200 pounds of downforce without active aerodynamics. 
  • Corvette engineers couldn't find any performance benefits with an active aero system on the ZR1. 
  • The optional ZTK package adds a massive rear wing, front dive planes, and a Gurney lip on the hood for maximum downforce.  

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is an American supercar that competes with its European contemporaries in a very old-school way. Unlike many high-end performance cars today, the ZR1 lacks active aerodynamics. Every canard, spoiler, and wing are fixed in place, and the Corvette can produce 1,200 pounds of downforce when equipped with the ZTK package.
