Chevrolet is now shipping the 2015 Corvette Z06 Coupe from Bowling Green Assembly and some early customers could receive the much-anticipated supercar later this week.
The new Corvette Z06 offers the most choice for customers in the model’s history. It is the first Z06 to offer an available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. In addition, it is the first time since 1963 that the Z06 is available as a convertible, which will arrive in early 2015.
The new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 hhp at 6,400 rpm and 881 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm - making the 2015 Corvette Z06 the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States.
The car accelerates from 0-96 km/h in only 2.95 seconds when equipped with the all-new, available eight-speed automatic transmission, and achieves it in 3.2 seconds with the standard seven-speed manual transmission.
Pricing for the 2015 Corvette Z06 starts at $78,995 including destination, while the convertible model will start at $83,995.
