The Hyper-Hybrid Holy Trinity: Ferrari SF90 vs. Lamborghini Revuelto vs. Corvette ZR1
Comparison • 1,000+ HP Club • 2025
Two Italian hybrids and one American twin-turbo brute, all fighting for a spot in the same four-digit horsepower club. Here's how they actually compare.

A New Golden Age of Hypercars
Three cars, three completely different philosophies, one shared destination: the 1,000-horsepower club. Ferrari and Lamborghini both got there by bolting electric motors onto their flagship engines. Chevrolet got there the old-fashioned way, with twin turbos strapped to a V8 and nothing else complicating the picture. All three land in roughly the same performance window, which makes comparing them one of the more interesting exercises in the supercar world right now. If pure top speed is what interests you most, it's worth knowing none of these three come close to the 308.3 mph record set by the electric BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme. And if you'd rather see how an EV stacks up against pure combustion muscle in a head to head, our BYD Yangwang U9 vs Bugatti Divo comparison covers that angle.
Ferrari SF90: The Hybrid Pioneer

The SF90 was Ferrari's first series-production plug-in hybrid, and it set the tone for how the brand thinks about electrification: not as a replacement for drama, but as a tool to sharpen it. At its core sits a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, backed up by three electric motors, two on the front axle and one wedged between the engine and the 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Combined output lands around 1,000 horsepower. The front motors don't just add power, they give the SF90 true torque vectoring and short-range electric-only driving, something no purely combustion-powered rival can match. The V8 supplies 72.5 kgfm of torque on its own, with the electric side adding another 35.0 kgfm on top.
0-60 mph comes in at roughly 2.5 seconds, and top speed sits at 211 mph. Ferrari also fitted the SF90 with an active rear wing section that adjusts downforce on the fly, clamping down in corners and flattening out for top-speed runs. If you're curious how the SF90 fits into Ferrari's wider lineup, our 488 GTB buyer's guide covers the more attainable end of the Maranello range.
💡 Real World Benefit: the e-AWD system means the SF90 puts its power down with almost no wheelspin off the line, which matters a lot more on a public road than a raw horsepower number does.

Lamborghini Revuelto: The V12 Reborn
 |

Replacing the Aventador was never going to be simple, and Lamborghini's answer was to keep the naturally aspirated V12 alive rather than turbo it or drop it entirely. The new 6.5-liter V12 revs to 9,500 rpm and makes 825 horsepower on its own, before three electric motors, two up front and one built into the new transverse 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, push the combined total to roughly 1,001 horsepower.
Like the SF90, the front motors give the Revuelto e-AWD and torque vectoring, a genuinely new experience for a Lamborghini flagship. The V12 contributes 72.5 kgfm of torque, with the electric motors adding another 35.0 kgfm to fill in the low-end response a screaming naturally aspirated engine usually lacks.
0-60 mph is also around 2.5 seconds, and top speed climbs past 350 km/h to 217 mph. The car rides on a new carbon fiber monocoque structure Lamborghini calls the monofuselage, which helps both stiffness and outright performance.
💡 Real World Benefit: keeping the naturally aspirated V12 means the Revuelto still sounds like a Lamborghini flagship should, something the hybrid system enhances rather than mutes.

Corvette ZR1: The American Overlord
 |
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 charges down the straight in Competition Yellow, combining breathtaking speed, aggressive aerodynamics, and unmistakable American supercar performance. |
While Ferrari and Lamborghini went the hybrid route, Chevrolet took the more old-school path: a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8, no electric motors, no complexity, just raw output. The LT7 engine is a turbocharged evolution of the Z06's flat-plane-crank V8, and it produces 1,064 horsepower, the highest of the three, with a genuinely staggering 828 lb-ft of torque, more than the combined torque figures of either Italian rival.
All of that power goes to the rear wheels only through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, making the ZR1 the only rear-wheel-drive car in this comparison. Chevrolet leans on aggressive traction and launch control software plus a massive rear contact patch to keep that torque manageable.
0-60 mph comes in at 2.3 seconds, the quickest of the three, and top speed tops out at a claimed 233 mph, the highest number here by a wide margin. A large fixed rear wing and extensive carbon fiber bodywork generate the downforce needed to keep a rear-drive car planted at that kind of speed.
💡 Real World Benefit: no hybrid hardware means less weight and less complexity to service, which matters if you're the kind of owner who tracks the car regularly rather than just showing it off.

💡 Value tip: the ZR1 wins on paper in every straight-line metric, but the two Italian hybrids offer e-AWD traction and torque vectoring the Corvette simply doesn't have access to, which matters more in the corners than the spec sheet lets on.
FAQs
Which of these three is the fastest in a straight line?
The Corvette ZR1, with the quickest 0-60 time at 2.3 seconds and the highest top speed at 233 mph.

The SF90 Stradale starts at roughly $528,764 before options, taxes, and destination fees.
How much does the Lamborghini Revuelto cost?
The Revuelto starts at around $608,358, making it the most expensive of the three by a wide margin.
How much does the Corvette ZR1 cost?
The ZR1 starts at roughly $174,995, well under a third of what either Italian rival costs.
What is the top speed of the Ferrari SF90?
211 mph, achieved with help from its active rear wing and hybrid all-wheel-drive traction.
What is the top speed of the Lamborghini Revuelto?
217 mph, the second-highest of the three cars in this comparison.
What is the 0-60 mph time of the Corvette ZR1?
2.3 seconds, the quickest of the three, according to Chevrolet's official figures.
Is the Corvette ZR1 faster than the Ferrari SF90?
In a straight line, yes. The ZR1 hits 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and tops out at 233 mph, ahead of the SF90's 2.5 seconds and 211 mph.
Is the Lamborghini Revuelto faster than the Ferrari SF90?
The Revuelto has a higher top speed at 217 mph versus 211 mph, but both cars post a similar 0-60 time of roughly 2.5 seconds.
Which of the three is the cheapest?
The Corvette ZR1 by far, starting at less than a third of the Ferrari SF90's price and roughly a quarter of the Revuelto's.
Booomracing Verdict
There's no single winner here, just three different answers to the same question. The SF90 is the intellectual choice, precise and digitally managed. The Revuelto is the emotional one, keeping the V12 legacy alive while adding genuine usability. The ZR1 is the raw one, proving a twin-turbo V8 with no hybrid assistance can still out-punch two of Europe's best. Which one you'd pick says more about what you want from a car than which spec sheet is objectively best.
