The Chevrolet company has revealed the newest Corvette Z06 C7 version which had been long awaited by car enthusiasts all over the world. This vehicle is expected to be incredibly fast taking into consideration the success of a “regular” Corvette which had shown great results in performance tests with European supercars. Let us remind that the previous Z06 was fitted with a 7-litre atmospheric V8 producing more than 500 hp and a 6-gear manual transmission. The new Z06 has a lot of technical innovations. Let’s begin with the engine. The old motor gave place to a supercharged 6.2-litre V8. Though the powerplant might look like C6 ZR1 engine but that is just the first impression. The engineers from Chevrolet fitted the engine with direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication system and upgraded compressor. The car produces 625 hp and 860 Nm of torque which is much more than the power produced by C6 Z06. The new Corvette will shift through either a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. The standard Z06 will come with P285/30 ZR19 rubber in front and 335/25 ZR20 in back. Well, the specifications look impressive, we’ll be looking eagerly for the first road tests.
