Stock 2019 Corvette ZR1 Decimates Lamborghini Huracan Spyder: Video

The 2019 Corvette ZR1 is a performance monster, as we all know. Out of the box, the supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 engine produces 755 horsepower and 715 pound-feet of torque. That’s otherworldly – especially with a starting price $120,000. The mill pushes the ZR1 from zero to 60 miles per hour in around three seconds, with a top speed of 212 mph. It’s a bargain compared to other supercars with similar performance. The Corvette ZR1 also makes the perfect candidate for Hennessey, as the tuner can crank out even more insane levels of power. To demonstrate how fast the ZR1 is, HPE decided to pit a stock example of one against a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, which starts at over $300,000, to see how the two compare.
The Huracan gets a jump off the start. However, the Corvette ZR1 quickly finds grip and passes the Italian supercar. The ZR1 continues to pull away through the finish line. The ZR1’s win is easily attributable to its performance advantage. The Huracan packs a naturally-aspirated V10 engine making 571 hp and 398 pound-feet of torque — a pittance compared to the ZR1, which is why the American supercar blew the Lamborghini out of the water. It wasn’t even a fair fight.
The company plans to add its barrier-busting HPE1200 package to the Corvette ZR1, which adds a host of performance upgrades to help crank out 1,200 hp from the car. Often, Hennessey drops in a new engine, upgraded supercharger, high-flow fuel injectors, and many other upgrades so the 1,200-hp car can reliably deliver power to the ground. Expect an assortment of HPE1200 and Hennessey badging to come, too.
When Hennessey adds the HPE1200 package to the Corvette ZR1, it’ll turn the already potent performance car into a monster. If you think the Corvette crushed the Huracan here, wait until there is a rematch. Then again, we doubt the Lamborghini would want to be embarrassed in such a manner.

Live to dream.. a Chevrolet Bolt with a 450 horsepower electric motor could do essentially the same thing against the Lamborghini Huracan without any lag because of the electric motor’s instant torque.
They do this at least once a year and I think its ridiculous. Why are you even comparing these two cars? One car cost 3x the cost of the other car!
It’s a waste of time! Most people buying a 300k car are not cross shopping a car 3x less!
Start comparing cars based on price! Car need to be a few grand apart in order to be competitors!
The car costing 1/3 the price shamed the car costing 3 times the price. Lol
Poor Lambo…
It just shows you that a super car doesn’t have to cost $300,000 . You pay more for the status of a foreign car than performance.
De plus, il s’agit là de la huracan lp570-2 et non de la lp610-4 et cela il le savent et le mentionne pas(je le fait savoir pour les ignorant), pour mieux valoriser la corvette c7 zr1.
How can you compare a 610 bhp vs. a 757 bhp it’s like comparing a person running vs. motorcycle compare cars that are similar in horsepower and let see. Perhaps find something like a 720s which 37 horse power less and see.
The 720s beats it
Also the lambo they had is rwd If it was the awd it would win
SCAM ALERT: This is a lp580-2 2wheel drive Lambo @ 572hp and a measly 398 lb-ft. Down 183 hp and 317 lb-ft Would have been really sad if the Vette hadn’t squeaked a win.
What’s next a Civic Type R? Lol

The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder doesn’t start at 300k. But alright. Also it’s a naturally aspirated v10. Means you’re starting bare minimum with 600 hp
