Corvette Z06 news - Corvette Z06 blasts into Britain - 2006

Published: 03 Feb 2006

Corvette is back in the UK - and this time it's gonna kick some supercar butt with the Z06.

Packing a rootin' tootin' 512bhp from a monster 7.0-litre V8, the Z06 blitzes 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 200mph. A handy 470lb ft of torque also helps things along.

Weighing in at 43kg less than the standard Corvette coupe, the Z06 is the most powerful road car the company has ever built.

European supercars should be very worried, because the price of all this power and performance is £59,850, making that Ferrari 575 M suddenly look a touch pricey.
