ONLY 500 will be lucky enough to own one.
Chevrolet wheeled out what it calls the most track capable Corvette in the brand’s history
#2OwnOne #Only500
What would happen if cars would start taking drugs? Some would turn worse and some, like this ‘Vette you see here, would go absolutely insane. There is no other way to describe it but to tell you that this thing is on some kind of drugs. It’s not that Lance Armstrong type of drug, but one Chevy developed in a top secret meth laboratory and gave it to the car. Look at it. It’s fabulous. It’s something you’d expect from a child to draw on paper and tell to its daddy “I want this, please give it to me if you love me”. And just because of all that lunacy, childish appearance and berserk styling this ‘Vette is possibly the maddest ever.
Dubbed the Z06 C7.R Edition, this mad Z06 is the closest race-car-but-still-allowed-on-the-streets thing that Chevy ever produced. Based on the already biblically fast Corvette Z06, the C7.R Edition received just enough race spec elements which every real gearhead would enjoy having on his car. Starting from the outside, this badass received a full on carbon fiber decoration complement called by Chevrolet “visible carbon fiber ground effects package and new visible carbon fiber hood section”. They should really call it “a blast” or something more catchy than “section”. I mean a roof on a house is a section in some way. Not so imaginative, is it!?
The rest of the car is luckily imaginative enough to steer your mind away from cars such as the Ferrari 488 GTB or the McLaren 650S. Yellow paint on the outside beautifully decorated with real carbon fiber elements definitely makes this track ready monster even more appealing, but the real deal here isn’t the looks, but the stuff hidden beneath the flashy exterior.
Buying this Z06 will get you a Z07 Performance Package as well. With it, the Corvette is equipped with goodies such as Brembo carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors (with less weight than before), adjustable front and rear aero components and Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires for enhanced grip. These kind of things are something only full on racing drivers will use to its full potential, but that shouldn’t stop you from wanting this one, ‘because you’ll probably never get it. 500 units of the Corvette Z06 C7.R will be produced in both Coupe and Convertible versions. It is hard to tell, but Chevy might already have sold them all. It wouldn’t be a surprise for a number of reasons. First of all, look at the stickers on it. You have it on the bonnet, on the roof (except of course on the convertible) and in the inside, while the plaque says that the Chevy has 7 LeMans GT Class Wins and 10 manufacturers titles. Who wouldn’t like to have a car that pays a homage to all of that success?
Besides that, there are few other things worth mentioning. The engine inside is the same like in the Z06 and that is the best thing ever. This thing is more than 150 HP more powerful than the real deal – the C7.R race car whose 5.5 liter engine churns out 491 HP. How cool is that!?
You have a track ready road car that has more power than the not-road-ready race car! Of course, Chevy did not fiddle with the engine at all, but thanks to these new tires that shouldn’t worry you much cause this beast achieves 60 mph in 2,9 seconds. That is some seriousness right there.
