Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C8 Teased Ahead Of October 26 Debut

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C8 will debut on October 26, 2021. To hype the new sports car, Chevy released a teaser video showing the Z06 on the road in Germany and France, including at the Nüburgring and at Le Mans. The video clearly wants to create the connection between the new Z06 and C8.R race car because the competition machine makes several appearances in the clip. The rumor is that the two models also share an engine. The 5.5-liter mill reportedly has dual overhead camshafts and a flat-plane crankshaft. It allegedly makes 617 horsepower (460 kilowatts) and revs to a 9,000 rpm redline.

A recent video shows a development vehicle using a Tremec-sourced gearbox with what appeared to be a magnesium case. Recordings of the Z06 indicate the transmission is capable of ultra-quick shifts. Compared to the standard C8, the Z06 has a larger front splitter with canards at the corners. There’s a larger opening in the center of the lower fascia. The openings in the rear fenders are significantly bigger, too. At the rear, the Z06 in this video has a big wing with upturned sections on each side. A redesigned bumper has four exhaust pipes coming out of the center and vents at the sides.
