London, 20 January 2026 – Europe’s supercar scene has just received a seismic shake-up. Specialist performance and luxury car retailer Clive Sutton has imported the continent’s first new Corvette ZR1 models, bringing one of the world’s most coveted American supercars to the UK for an exclusive handful of drivers.
The first arrivals include a striking Competition Yellow ZR1, complete with the signature carbon fibre aero package, and a contrasting black model adorned with twin red racing stripes. Each of these twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 supercars delivers a staggering 1,064 bhp, and both hail from the ultra-rare initial production run of fewer than 200 units in 2025, making them some of the most collectible new supercars in Europe.
Clive Sutton: Delivering the Ultimate Supercar Experience
Clive Sutton, Founder and CEO, said: “We’ve imported the world’s most desirable high-performance and luxury vehicles for almost 40 years, but supercars like the ZR1 still make my pulse race. Securing the first models for the UK and Europe is a tremendous achievement, and two of the first three cars have already found their owners. Demand is certain to outstrip supply, and our clients expect a seamless, premium experience from order to delivery.”
Sutton’s team manages every step of the process, from sourcing and shipping to homologation and registration, ensuring that each customer enjoys a smooth, end-to-end journey. The ZR1, the most powerful Corvette ever, rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 233 mph. Its performance credentials are further underlined by a Nürburgring lap time of 6:50.76, demonstrating that this American powerhouse can compete with Europe’s elite supercars.
Exclusive Opportunities for UK Buyers
While the black ZR1 is already spoken for, the Competition Yellow model remains available, offering a rare chance for a European driver to join this elite club. With Sutton’s sourcing, import, and homologation processes in place, additional orders for both coupe and convertible ZR1 models can be accommodated, all equipped with the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Every ZR1 combines advanced aerodynamics, adaptive suspension, and a commanding V8 soundtrack, providing both track-ready performance and road-going stability. Inside, the cabin blends driver-focused ergonomics with premium materials, supportive sports seats, and the latest connectivity, offering an engaging yet refined driving experience suitable for daily use.
With the US market seeing ZR1 models sold for up to $100,000 above MSRP, Sutton’s European import channels provide a highly competitive route for UK buyers. Depending on specification, the cars are priced from £365,000 to £425,000, inclusive of sourcing, transportation, 10% import duty, 20% VAT, UK homologation, and registration.
