Presented on October 26, 2021, the Z06 version of the Corvette aims to compete directly with the Porsche 911 GT3. The 5.5-litre V8 reaches up to 8600 rpm, developing a power of 679hp. The Z06 retains the Stingray chassis without additional reinforcements, not even provided on the convertible. The fenders are however widened by 9cm to make room for the Michelin Pilot 4S tyres. The aerodynamic appendages are foreseen on the Z06 version: among other things, the package includes a large carbon rear spoiler capable of developing a downforce of 334kg at 299 km/h. Production started in the summer of 2022.
