Can the new Corvette C7 Corvette Z06 make a comeback?
A new C7.
R model from Corvette is now in production, and that means the new C6 Corvette is getting a facelift too.
The C7’s engine and suspension are all made from carbon fiber, and its interior is going to be a bit different, too.
That’s good news for the new Z06, which will be coming out next year.
The car also gets a new interior, new front and rear bumpers, and a bigger powerband.
Check out the video below to see the C7, and then read on for the full details.
The C7 is a full-sized sports car that will be built for Corvette enthusiasts and hardcore Corvette fans.
We’ve got an exclusive preview of the car on Corvette.com , but we wanted to share the full build report for those of you who are more into the hardcore Corvette crowd.
The new C5 is currently in production for the brand, and the C6 is expected to follow shortly after.
This new model will be available in a limited quantity of 350,000 units, so if you’re looking to get one, be sure to act quickly.
Here’s what you need to know about the new car:It will be a very special vehicle.
While the new vehicle is going up against the C5, it will still be the smallest Corvette ever produced.
It is about the size of a small car and has a 3.9 liter V8 engine, which can deliver more than 1,000 horsepower.
The car will be powered by a V8 V8-powered 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged engine that produces 3,000 to 4,000 bhp.
This engine will make its debut on the Z06 in late 2017.
The V8 will be the same that powers the new BMW M6 MQB.
The engine is expected at a power output of 2,000 hp and a torque of 6,000 lb-ft, depending on the transmission.
The Z06 will also get a new 5.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged V8 in its place, which is also expected to produce 1,500 to 2,500 bhp, and it will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
A powertrain upgrade that includes a new exhaust system and an upgraded intake manifold is expected, too, but we don’t know how much.
The new Corvette will also feature a carbon fiber hood that can be made from a different material.
This means it can be used in other C6s and Z06s as well, and we haven’t seen any photos of this particular hood in the media yet.
We’ll update this story as we get more information.
The Z06 is expected for the 2018 model year, and will go on sale in the United States in 2021.
