Don't forget Porsche 918:



Bugatti Veyron:



Bugatti Chiron:



McLaren P1:



McLaren 720S:



Ferrari LaFerrari (active wing and diffuser!):



Koenigsegg Regera:



And for the plebes, 2019 Dodge Ram:



I'm guessing if these skirts ever show up on a Corvette, they'll be more like the Ram's air dam than a hypercar's spoiler: unpainted plastic that is easily replaceable and inexpensive.

Edit: The Porsche 918 also has active flaps underneath, to reduce or increase airflow to the front wheels for brake cooling:
