by The Chevrolet Corvette 2022 lineup has been supplemented with the charged Z06 version. It will go on sale in the summer and promises to be relatively inexpensive—starting from $100,000.
Inexpensive, considering the characteristics of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, because they are at the level of exotic supercars. It is equipped with a new 5.5-liter V8 from the racing Corvette. The engine develops 670 hp at a high 8400 rpm and has a torque of 623 Nm at 6300 rpm.
The Corvette engine has never been so high-revving. By the way, the American sports car finally received a V8 with 4 valves per cylinder. Incidentally, it is the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the world.
The dynamics of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 are not yet disclosed, but it is known that acceleration to a hundred will take less than 3 seconds, and the maximum speed will exceed 320 km/h—for a car costing $100,000, that is very cool. Even though if someone finds this insufficient, they can wait for the new Corvette ZR1—it will have 800+ hp!
The Corvette features a refined 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and suspension, equipped with adaptive shock absorbers and enlarged Brembo brakes. Carbon-ceramic disks are also offered as an option.
Along with the ceramic brakes comes carbon body kits and a rear wing, creating up to 332 kg of downforce at 300 km/h. The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is recognized by enlarged air intakes and four exhaust pipes.
The fenders have also been widened to fit 275/30 R20 tires up front and 345/25 R21 tires at the rear. By the way, the rims can also be carbon—for an additional cost—just like those on Bugatti.
