Professional basketball superstar Devin Booker and performance driver Emelia Hartford are starring in a reveal film highlighting the Corvette Z06. The 30-minute project premieres at 12 P.M. ET Tuesday, October 26 and will feature a panel discussion with experts who will outline how the Z06 promises to wow with its delivery, handling, and overall experience.
Motortrend saw a teaser video showcasing the flat-plane crank V8 revving up to 8,600 RPM. For those curious about what the ’23 Corvette Z06 will look like, the Corvette Instagram account is the place to look!
A brand-new wheel design is evident, and much of the excitement has been centered around the 5.5-liter flat-plane crankshaft V8, which is expected to produce around 600 horsepower. The streets will never sound the same, and this car will be unlike anything anyone has seen or heard before.
An overall wider stance is expected, with punched-out rear fenders above the massive 345 mm rear tires, and some of the prototypes having been spotted with 275 mm tires in the front. Two years ago, the Z06’s interior was teased brandishing two big red buttons on the steering wheel marked “Spec Mode.” There was also carbon fiber instead of leather on some surfaces. The digital gauge cluster in this sketch portrayed a racetrack layout, perfect for high-performance driving on the world’s best tracks.
Car and Driver caught one Z06 testing its launch control system on GM’s proving grounds, and were all itching to try the exact same thrilling feat for themselves. Some fans will be excited about an audio clip leaked last year that showed off the naturally aspirated 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V8 revving and accelerating with the cleanest and most distinguished sound yet!
