Unveiled in Detroit and presented in a Canadian premiere in Toronto, the mighty Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will cross the Atlantic for a European debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Incorporating several elements of the Stingray, it differentiates itself with the addition of many functional cosmetic changes to maximize airflow and downforce.

We find:
- Flared fenders front and rear
- Larger vents to improve engine cooling
- A new front splitter and a modified version of the Z51 rear spoiler
- An adjustable wickerbill spoiler on the rear

More connected than ever, the Corvette Z06 allows you to save, share and analyze your conduct on track and on the road  Your achievements will be recorded in real time on video, through an SD memory card.

The new Z06 is powered by an LT4 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine developing an output of 625 horsepower and 635 lb-ft of torque.  It offers a choice between 7-speed manual or automatic 8-speed transmissions.
