This astonishing Technic Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was discovered on Eurobricks today, and – even more astonishingly – it’s built only from the parts of the 42172 Technic McLaren P1 set.
Shown here in render form (but also built for real, however with inadequate images), this 1:8 replica of the latest 1,000bhp Corvette comes from Timorzelorzworz, and is as packed with working functionality as its donor set.
A mid-mounted V8 engine is hooked up to a 7-speed gearbox, the steering is controlled from the steering wheel, suspension is independent front and rear, the front trunk, engine cover and doors open, whilst the entire bodywork aft of the b-pillar is removable too.
Building instructions are available and there’s much more to see including further renders, images of the brick-built model, and full build details at the Eurobricks forum. Take a look via the link above and convert your P1 into a ZR1.
