CARSCOOPS:Chevrolet today unveiled the brand new Corvette Z06. The first high-performance variant of the eighth-generation Corvette, the supercar will be the first mid-engined Z06 in the history of the marque.
Unveiled in a livestream hosted at the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Z06 that is available as both coupe and convertible, brings high-performance aero features and a naturally aspirated flat-plane crank 5.5-liter V8. The latter has an 8,600 rpm redline that churns out 670 hp (679 PS/500 kW) and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque at 6,300 RPM.
“The new Corvette Z06 defines the American supercar,” said General Motors President Mark Reuss. “It builds on the distinctive design and groundbreaking dynamics introduced with the mid-engine Corvette and elevates them to deliver refined but uncompromising track capability with world-class performance.”
