          Chevrolet offered significant updates to the Z06 for 2011, with special packages and new options that enhance performance and styling, while also offering greater personalization choices. With its racing-inspired powertrain and suspension features, along with an aluminum frame and carbon fiber fenders and floor panels, it delivers exceptional levels of capability and technology.


         The Z06’s exterior design were shaped by the experiences of the Corvette racing program, where high-speed stability and cornering capability are paramount. While the race cars use large rear wings. Standard features include High-Intensity Discharge lighting, fog lamps, leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning, cabin air filtration and head-up display with track mode and g-meter.
