"Meet the new Corvette Z06! It’s the hardcore, track-focused version of the regular C8 Corvette, and Mat’s about to find out just what’s changed over the standard car. Starting with the design, there’s more than just some new badging to help the Z06 stand out from the regular C8. Up front there are some bigger air intakes (to help cool the bigger radiators) along with a larger, protruding splitter.

Along the side the wheel arches stick out further to help house the larger & wider wheels, while there’s also extended side skirts and bigger air intakes. Then around the back, the twin tailpipes from the C8 have been brought together to make quad tailpipes in the centre of the car, and a gurney flap has also been added to the rear spoiler. It’s a different story on the inside, though, with only a handful of changes to be found. The steering wheel now comes with Z06 badging, and it’s possible to upgrade it to include some carbon fibre. Some new figure-hugging sports seats have been added, and there are Z06 kick plates on either side…

But that’s your lot! Otherwise, it’s the same as the regular C8. But of course, the biggest change comes with the engine. Despite the Z06 having a smaller-sized engine than the C8 (with the 6.2-litre NA V8 swapping for a 5.5-litre NA V8), it has so much more power. You see, this is no regular V8… Chevrolet have taken a Ferrari 458 engine, reverse-engineered it, and given it 100hp more. As a result, the Z06 pumps out an eye-watering 670hp, making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated V8 in the world!! The Z06 starts from around $100,000, which is around $40,000 more than the regular C8 Corvette. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!s://youtu.be/qzYRYrqXK3w "

Look to be 3.6s at best on this vidéo for the 0 to 100 km/h.

Not really Amazing since Chevy said 2.6s but the car sound so good that i forget that anyway.

I love the C8 Z06. This is the best Corvette ever. I don't think the ZR1 or anything else they come up with will be any better at this point.
