Granted, the ZR1X doesn’t have the exotic carbon-fiber construction of the Ferrari and McLaren, or 3D-printed suspension parts. In fact, it’s largely similar to the two-wheel-drive ZR1, with the same bodywork. As with its sibling, the X will be offered in coupe and convertible form, and with and without the big-wing aero package and ZTK suspension.

The difference is that the Chevrolet’s 5.5-litre V8 is considerably more powerful than the Lambo’s, with peak power of 1,064bhp and an astonishing peak torque of 1,188Nm – and these figures, remember, are without the e-motor being factored in.

The Corvette ZR1X gets an amplified version of the Corvette E-Ray’s hybrid system to reach 60 mph in less than 2 seconds!
