The Z06 balances raw power with structural integrity to deliver quality performance on every type of road.
Aerospace technology and an all-aluminum body make the Z06 robust yet incredibly light. The impressive power-to-weight ratio ensures a smooth, well-balanced drive, while more sensitive steering gives you greater direct feedback.
Together with Active Handling stability, the Z06 responds to your need for control as well as speed.
The all-aluminum body dramatically improves performance and handling. With a curb weight of 1,418 kg, the Z06 has an outstanding power-to-weight ratio.
Yet it also delivers strength and torsional rigidity. The secret is the use of aerospace materials and the highest volume of carbon fiber in any production car.
Carbon fiber has a low coefficient of expansion that creates a tighter fit, making the car more responsive.
More torque demands greater traction, which is why the Z06 features larger wheels that provide a wider ‘footprint’ on the road.
This helps to manage the car’s power and make cornering smooth and controlled on every type of road.
The Z06 is more than just an engine. It needs to put the driver in touch with its power, to make car and driver feel as one.
That’s why the steering has been refined to improve road feel at all speeds.
The Magnasteer variable assist steering control has also been recalibrated, increasing sensitivity and ensuring the tires stay flat on the road when steering into a corner.
For the extra control demanded by so much horsepower, the Z06 features an Active Handling System as standard.
This works in tandem with a yaw-rate sensor, lateral accelerometer, ABS and traction control, creating greater stability and balance during cornering. The system also applies braking to individual wheels when required.
Extensive use of carbon fibre and an all-aluminum frame give the Z06 a greater weight to performance ratio.
The Z06 transfers Corvette racing technology to the road with deck-plate honed cylinders.
Four large stainless steel exhaust pipes, a cold air scoop on the hood and a large air extractor behind the wheel give the Z06 a distinct profile.
Cast-spun aluminum wheels and tires featuring run-flat technology tires elevate handling and safety to a new level.
Stay focused on the road with a display that projects the speedometer, tachometer, g-force meter and navigation data onto the windshield.
Intuitive placement of key controls and white LED back-lit gauges ensure the Z06 driver is always comfortable and in command.
The Z06 delivers incredible stopping power via monobloc calipers with six pistons, a system rarely seen in production cars.
Rich leather seats with fixed side bolsters increase comfort and luxury while more securely holding the driver through corners.
