Chevrolet and General Motors announced the launch date and time of the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 model year 2023. The car will be presented next October 26th at 6pm Italian time. Over the last two months, the American brand has not given up on giving small samples: in August, in the context of its sporting commitment, it showed the Z06 in a disguised version alongside the car entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2021. Then it has shown again the car, alone (cover photo), allowing you to have some extra details on the exterior style.
“Designed to amplify driving emotions, the Corvette Z06 is a supercar that does not disappoint, on everyday roads as on motorways or on the most famous circuits in the world such as that of Sarthe.“, Reads the Chevrolet website. Pushing the US marque’s sports car is expected to be a centrally mounted 5.5-liter V8 engine, which will be capable of unleashing 617 horsepower overall and 651 Nm of peak torque. these are specifications that will allow the new Corvette C8 Z06 to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in less than three seconds flat, and to reach a top speed of about 300 kilometers per hour.
The front wheel arches are wider in order to accommodate tires of greater width and the air intakes modified to ensure, in addition to cooling, a greater aerodynamic contribution. Fixed aerodynamic appendages have been improved or added to help the engine run at its best. New seven split-spoke wheels and a track that seems wider than expected complete the work. The one shown would be the basic version, why an even more aggressive sports package is likely to be launched on the market with higher rear wing and larger front splitter.
This is the sound of the car, according to an audio and video teaser released by Chevrolet last July.
