The perspex engine cover is certainly interesting.

Beauty isnt in this cars interest though – sheer brutal performance is, and the look certainly signals that. Nothing wrong with that either.

awazing fuel effiency, better than t5he ferrari 599 and lambo! Car looks tough, great engine, hoping that that a detuned version may fall into a gts-r.

never heard someone refer to a corvette as ugly before… well excluding the ugly C4 model anyway

I dont see how this could be considered ugly, its very exotic and got that swept-back almost italian sports look. I like it.

Now this is an ugly car. Awesomely fast though.

Cant wait to see the ‘ring times that come from it…

And then the unavoiable comparison to the GTR…

And then for the V-spec to step up to any mark it does set…

And for the eternal argument to continue :)

Go the trap speed, 131 MPH!!! That’s 9 second territory!

That would be mad, bolt up a set of slicks and run a low 10 / high 9 straight out of the box!

Which they won’t Anthony, unfortunately, they won’t even build the normal corvette in RHD. However there are a few company in australia, most notable corvettes queensland, who do RHD conversions and compliance for corvettes which i’m sure with a big enough bank balance will be able to get you into a ZR1

You’ve gotta love this Corvette – 427kW in a composite body and a car you can live with 24/7. The best performance car the US produce and quite the bargain at US$103,000 which I suppose will mean over two hundred grand if they were to build some RHD versions.
