Barbie (and Ken, but who cares?) lives in a magical world that seems perfect and far more advanced than our real world, but it’s not actually that far away. Here are 3 bits ofBarbietech that are almost real.
1. The Iconic electric Corvette

One of the most striking elements ofBarbiepromotional material and a pretty big part of the movie, is the Pink self-driving Corvette that goes between Barbieland and the real world.
The model that Margot Robbie’s character uses is a C1 Corvette, that was introduced in the 50s, but this version has a surprise feature, and we’re not talking about Ken hiding in the back seat. According to its listing in theForza Horizon 5DLC, It’s electric.
An electric Corvette might seem slightly unusual considering its association with American muscle but there is in fact one on the way in 2024 (in time for a sequel perhaps?).
The Corvette E-Ray is a much more modern machine of course (and it’s actually real) but capable of doing 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and with 655 combined horsepower, it could get you from here to Barbieland in a flash.
2. Pink… everywhere!
