Official 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 Release Date

Back and better than ever in 2015, the Chevy Corvette Z06 took its place among the elite of the track-ready supercars, capable of miles and miles of explosive thrills. For the 2016 model year, the Corvette Z06 builds on the already incredible offerings of the 2015 Chevy Corvette, adding customizable new interior design packages, world-class performance and an all-new C7.R Edition. While the official 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 release date has not yet been divulged, you can expect to see the newest Chevy Corvette hit showroom floors in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The biggest news surrounding the release of the 2016 Chevy Corvette is the inclusion of a Corvette C7.R Edition that is an homage to the Corvette Racing C7.R supercar. Making its debut in Corvette Racing yellow or a sharp-looking black, the C7.R Edition will include coordinated exterior and interior style elements. Only 500 of these automotive masterpieces are scheduled to be built and each will include the Z07 Performance Package with carbon ceramic brakes and a serialized ID number.

Color-themed design packages are another highlight of the 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 adding three distinct appearances — Twilight Blue, Spice Red and Jet Black Suede — each providing a custom feel for the new Z06. Additional upgrades and updates will also be added to the new Chevy Corvette Z06 design. New 2016 Chevy Corvette features include: a carbon fiber hood option with a visible weave element, new “Blade” wheel designs, two-tone GT seats in red or gray and available in leather or suede microfiber, interior accent stitching, a front curb view parking camera and an enhanced Chevy MyLink interface with the innovative Performance Data Recorder.

Under the hood, the 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 will retain the same caliber of performance that is expected of an elite supercar. Fueled by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 powermill, the Corvette Z06 will hammer out 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful GM production model available. A lower, wider appearance for the new Z06 will also augment the aerodynamics and downforce of the track-ready masterpiece, combining with a third-generation Magnetic Selective Ride Control system to provide a flawless ride no matter what insane speeds may be reached. Available with a seven-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, the 2016 Corvette is capable of mindblowing performance specs. Equipped with the performance-tuned Z07 package, the 2016 Chevy Corvette will reach 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and will run the quarter mile in 10.95 seconds at 127 mph.
