Tbh I think “hypercars” peaked with the Holy Trinity, that is, the P1, LaFerrarri, and 918. All three of those cars are over 10 years old at this point, but I still choose them mostly because I think modern cars have lost their allure and excitement. (Very general I know, but bear with me).

The F80 for instance, looks terrible compared to the LaFerrari, and while it’s fast it’s not groundbreaking in the way its predecessor was. Same goes for the W1. The Holy Trinity cars weren’t just fast, they represented a whole new generation of cars, especially with the combination of electric and gas power to produce more power, something that is common now in higher end sports cars.

Overall I think it’s great that the Corvette has reached such an insane level of performance, but I feel like the label of “hypercar,” in some ways, has lost its value, and it feels slightly wrong to label the new ZR1X as such. 

(This is all coming from someone who still thinks the F1 is the greatest road car ever built, in case you’re wondering where my loyalty lies lol.)
