ZR1X+ 918 UNLIKELY PARTNERS • The Corvette ZR1X stands on the shoulders of Porsche’s groundbreaking hybrid supercar.

MAN & MACHINE • Racing legends center around famous names, all-conquering machines, and heroic drives. They don’t always include all three categories and are often fleeting, lasting only a race or a season. Sometimes, though, the feats are so mighty that the wheelman and the race car become inextricably linked. Presented here are three cases where the mere suggestion of either half of the relationship immediately brings to mind the other.
