A first picture that is certainly not very clear but confirms what we thought for some time, the new Corvette Z06 forsake the big V8 naturally aspirated engine 7.0 L supercharged V8 for another, perhaps the LT4 engine that we have shown there is some time.
Regarding the appearance of this new generation of Z06, one discovers a nasty sporty hesitating between inspiration came from the competition, some influences from tuning and aggressive look for to harm competition.
We discover also the yellow livery and large black wheels, aerodynamic pack consisting of a front spoiler blade drawing close to those found in racing including ski to the front fenders to better channel the flow of air. There is also small fender flares front for covering large tires. Directional air outlets are integrated into the front grille and the bonnet seems to have a bigger boss but at the same aesthetics as the small 'Vette mind.
Wide underbody be appreciated, new air intakes placed on the rear wings and falls on a massive rear spoiler that should be there to encourage support of the car especially at high speeds. The four large central exhaust and diffuser seem to be very close (visually) of the original ones which means that at Chevrolet, we probably thought the very sporty versions from the start. We also discover / a bonnet bicolor matte black livery bodywork and aerodynamic components that seem to be carbon fiber.
The cockpit is meant to be sporty faith, sober and very close to that of the base Corvette. However, we discover inserts carbon fiber sports seats that seem marry leather and black fabric with contrasting white stitching. The dashboard uses the same instrumentation as the standard on the 6.2 L 450 hp.
Mechanically, no additional information for now and we are on a power of 620 hp, a torque of 881 Nm and an automatic gearbox with robotic control and paddle shifters.
A review in two or three days very closely. One thing is sure this new Z06 will give headaches to Ralph Gilles, SRT boss and the engineers in charge of the Viper. The side of European, we must also look carefully this American supercar that could cause trouble come in the pack of Italian, English and German. Alone can be, the GT-R Nismo will remain in pace with the Z06? To see in the coming months.
