Richard Rawlings, founder and owner of the world-famous Gas Monkey Garage, acquired a highly sought-after 2026 Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3LZ that he’s giving away to a lucky winner just in time for the holidays. Embracing true Gas Monkey style, the black on black 1,064 horsepower beast with a 5.5L V8 twin-turbo engine and 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is the fastest Corvette ever made. Reaching top speed of 233 mph, the ZRI currently commands more than $200,000 over sticker price. This 828 lb.-ft. includes the ZR1 carbon fiber aero package that produces over 1,200 lbs. of downforce. As for the cherry on top, the winner can choose the color of a custom full exterior vinyl wrap.
Rawlings comments, “This car is practically unattainable and is by far the biggest and coolest giveaway we’ve ever done here at Gas Monkey. Somebody is going to have a very happy holiday cruising into the New Year in this ride.”
The sweepstakes are happening now through Dec. 21 at Gas Monkey Garage. Official rules here.
