There's two kinds of car enthusiasts: those that still enjoy playing with Lego, and liars. Lego's newest Technic kit is sure to garner interest from both parties. Following a successful run of [European performance cars](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/21333/full-size-lego-mclaren-720s-on-display-at-petersen-automotive-museum.md>) from the likes of Bugatti, Ferrari, and Porsche, Lego is now bringing things stateside with a Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 kit.

While not as large or complex as some of its other car kits, Lego's Corvette ZR-1 comes in at just $49.99, considerably cheaper than the Porsche 911 GT3 kit ($299.99) and [the Bugatti Chiron kit](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/21216/you-can-now-build-a-bugatti-chiron-with-this-3599-piece-lego-set.md>) ($349.99). Just like in real life, the Corvette my be simple compared to its peers, but it gives its European counterparts a run for their money.

The Lego Corvette ZR-1 still has awesome features that will endear it to enthusiasts, like working steering and [a V8 with pistons that move](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/22528/look-at-these-wonderful-little-lego-engine-models.md>). Interestingly enough, the Lego Corvette ZR-1 has a feature not shared with its larger Porsche and Bugatti siblings: an alternate set of instructions. Per a press release, the Corvette ZR-1 kit will include an additional set of instructions to build a classic hot rod.

The hot rod build actually looks pretty neat, considering that it only uses the pieces that came in the box to build a modern Corvette. For the price, we might be persuaded to pick up two. We'll have to wait just a little bit longer, though, as the Lego Corvette ZR-1 won't be available to order on Lego's website until New Year's Day. What a great way to start 2019.
