Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06 (Spy)

[Touareg 2.5]

Could have up to 600 bhp (447 kW)

The North American International Auto Show is six months away but a new report is indicating the 2015 Corvette Z06 could debut in Detroit.

Citing a reliable source, Jalopnik says the Corvette Z06 and C7.R race car will debut together at an upcoming auto show. The website goes on to speculate that both models will debut in the Motor City.

Little is known about the Z06 but previous reports have indicated it could keep its naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine. While the current model produces 505 bhp (377 kW), rumors suggest the new Z06 could have up to 600 bhp (447 kW) which would make it 38 bhp (24 kW) less powerful than the outgoing ZR1. If these numbers pan out, the model could easily accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds.

[h=2]Could debut in early 2015[/h]The Corvette Stingray hasn't even hit dealerships yet but new details are starting to emerge about the Z06 replacement.

According to Car & Driver's sources, the model will adopt the Z07 name to reflect that it is based on the seventh-generation Corvette. Rumors also suggest the car will come equipped with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and larger Michelin tires.

There's no word on what will power the Z07 but the magazine believes it will use a turbocharged or twin-turbocharged V8 that displaces "significantly less" than 6.2-liters. The current model has a 7.0-liter V8 that develops 505 bhp (376 kW), but new engine could have 600 bhp (447 kW) despite its smaller size. Regardless of the engine's displacement and output, it could be connected exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.

If everything pans out, the Corvette Z07 could be introduced in early 2015 as a 2016 model.

Ma che lo deducono che è una Z07 o ZR1? mah..

[Merak]

Semplice deduzione: la variante più estrema canonicamente arriva verso la fine del ciclo vitale del modello. Z06 è stata presentata a un anno dal debutto anche sulla C6.
