2023 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06


Chevrolet’s mid-engine sports car is getting its
newest Z06 treatment. But instead of adding
a supercharger like on prior Z06s, Chevrolet
developed a new naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8
that revs to a sky-high 8,600 rpm and churns out
an impressive 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of
torque. It’s backed by an eight-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission.


Aside from the engine, the Z06 is wider than
the regular Corvette in order to house the larger
tires that wrap the 20-inch front and 21-inch rear
forged aluminum wheels. Owners who track
their Z06 will appreciate its electronic limited-
slip differential, estimated 2.6-second 0-60 mph
time, and a traction management system that
offers five distinct settings for optimum on-track
performance. Production begins this summer.


Estimated starting price: $90,000
