It’s America vs Italy in this quarter-mile drag race! 🇺🇸🇮🇹
Mat’s lining up against the brand-new, twin-turbo hybrid Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X in the legendary plug-in hybrid Ferrari SF90 Stradale. On paper, this is an absolute heavyweight clash of hybrid hypercars - so let’s see how the stats stack up before they hit the runway!
Starting with the Chevy, the Corvette ZR1X pairs a ferocious 5.5-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 with a front-mounted electric motor to produce a staggering 1,267hp and 1,123Nm of torque! Power is sent to all four wheels and it has an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The whole thing tips the scales at 1,875kg and it costs $240,995
Then we have the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Behind the driver sits a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, assisted by three electric motors for a combined output of 1,000hp and 800Nm of torque. Like the Corvette, it sends power to all four wheels through and also has an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Though it has a slight weight advantage, coming in at 1,670kg and it costs around $540,489
With 267hp more in the Chevy, you might think the ZR1X has this in the bag—but Ferrari’s launch control and lighter kerb weight make it a serious giant-killer! Will American muscle take the crown, or will Italian engineering hold the line? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! 🏁
