2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 unveiled

The production of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is said to start sometime in mid-2022.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has made its official global debut. The new Z06 is the most powerful version of the mid-engine Corvette C8 model that was unveiled back in 2019.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 comes with a 5.5-litre, naturally-aspirated, V8 engine producing 670 BHP @ 8,400 rpm and 623 Nm @ 6,300 rpm. The engine is further paired to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Chevrolet claims that the Z06 is capable of sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds.

Along with the massive jump in performance compared to the standard models, the Z06 also features a bunch of aerodynamic and styling updates, including multiple carbon fibre components. The Corvette Z06 also features a new front fascia to allow for better air intake, quad exhaust tips at the rear, a large rear spoiler, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels shod with specially developed Michelin Sport Cup 2 R ZP tyres.

The Z06 can also be opted with carbon-ceramic brakes, as a part of the carbon aero package, which also includes a front splitter, dive planes on the front corner and plenty of carbon fibre inserts in the cabin.

The production of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is said to start sometime in mid-2022. Pricing for the Z06 will be announced closer to the start of deliveries.
