You'd be amazed, wouldn't you? Perplexed maybe. Especially after you'd just read that Ferrari's bread and butter supercar can be driven purely on electricity. You'd be wondering which company had the temerity to buck the trend, to swim against the flow of the supercar establishment, which nation would provide the covering fire of sales to enable this machine to escape design studio captivity.
But you already know the answer, because you recognise a Corvette when you see one. And, hard though this seems to believe, later this year you should be able to buy one in the UK. With the steering wheel on the proper side and 670bhp of 8,600rpm, titanium intake valved, non-forced induction V8 firepower and fury. Lamborghini, we can only assume, will be watching closely as it works out the Huracán's next step.
Thinking those power figures sound, well, wrong? This is not the regular 495bhp Corvette C8. This is the Z06. If the Corvette is America's Porsche 911, this is its GT3. And in American sports car folklore there is no bigger deal.
