We’re about eleven views in so far… And believe me you, the first six seconds are all that’s really needed to understand that the new 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one serious ultra-high-performance car.
The video you see above was shot at the recent Indianapolis 500 and while racing took place, the star is by far the various Z06 spottings with a number of start-ups. At about 1:26 minutes, the first Z06 Convertible with the extraordinary Z07 package and carbon fibre wheels.

The speed is made possible thanks to the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06’s flat-plane crank 5.5-litre V8 that produces 670 horsepower at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,300 rpm – the redline being a stunning 8,600 rpm.
