2016 Corvette Z07 to offer 600 hp :: Safelite AutoGlass
2016 Corvette
New details are starting to emerge about the next-generation Z06. According to Car & Driver, the the Z06 replacement will be called the Z07 to reflect that it is based on the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette.
The magazine also believes the car will use a turbocharged or twin-turbocharged V8 engine which could develop 600 hp from significantly less than 6.2-liter of displacement. Regardless of the engine’s output, it will be mated exclusively to a Tremec TR-6070 seven-speed manual transmission.
To take advantage of the added impetus, the Z07 will be equipped with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, lighter wheels and larger Michelin tires.
The Corvette Z07 is expected to be introduced in early 2015 as a 2016 model. While the outgoing Z06 costs around $76,000, the Z07 will have a starting price of $100,000.
