Reviewer score 84%The 'Vette was always a lightweight machine built of fiberglass, but of course these days it's carbonfibre layered across the dash, those seats and of course above your head, with that removable roof. The seats are really well bolstered: the fittings and finish of the cabin, including the leather, isn't Porsche-like, but it's hardly Asda either. The driving position is low, snug and near-perfect, giving you prime position to lord over that undulating bonnet.

Pros
- Powerful V8
- Gorgeous looks
- Fantastic handling
Cons
- Rear visibility isn’t great

Reviewer score 74%The ZR1 is the fastest, most powerful production Corvette yet. Costs $121,000 (£94,650) compared with $55,495 for a base-model C7 'Vette. Has a blown 6.2-litre V8 developing 755bhp and 715lb ft of torque. Not many cars can outperform it, not for this money.
