Hard Core Track Ready Vette

With the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06, Chevrolet has reinvented the iconic sports car into a track-ready supercar.  Chevy's primary goal with the new Vette is to redesign and redefine it into the rarified league of genuine supercars like the Lamborghini and Ferrari.  Chevy has infused the power and the fury of a hard-core track-ready supercar into the Vette with a new LT6 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, along with a Tremec sourced, 8-speed dual clutch gearbox that pushes the power to the rear wheels for quick takeoff and blistering speeds.  The Z06 can hit speeds of 198 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds...all of which places it well into supercar territory.

Mid-Engine Supercar

In the past, Corvettes have had an engine placed in the front of the vehicle.  The new Corvette Z06 has a mid-engine setup like other supercars.  It sports a new powertrain with a whopping 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.  The suspension system has been re-designed.  There are brand new Michelin wheels and 6-piston Brembo carbon-ceramic front brakes.  The vehicle is stunning in its aerodynamic design.  Chevy is taking orders for it.  The base price starts at $106,395, while a convertible starts at $113,895.  Automotive experts are giving it rave reviews as one of the top new concepts for 2023 that is hitting the market.
