Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with upgrades and new features

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2012

The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a two-in-one sports car that can be used for daily driving or weekend track outings. Its racing-inspired motor and suspension, as well as an aluminium chassis and carbon fibre fenders and floor panels, help it achieve a curb weight of only 3,199 pounds (1,451 kg), making it the lightest and best-balanced Corvette model and one of the most slimline supercars on the market.

The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 offers updates and additional features for the optional Z07 performance package, including new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Zero Pressure tires. The tires are expected to help set new norms for Corvette performance when combined with new-for-2012 Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology, which controls torque delivery for maximum performance. Engineers predict an increase of 8% in maximum lateral acceleration to more than 1.1g, as well as a reduction in braking distance.

The improved Z07 package's effectiveness was confirmed with a new lap time of 7:22.7 around Germany's iconic Nürburgring, making it one of the fastest production vehicles to complete the circuit.

The 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette, which includes a sleek black colour scheme, distinctive design components, and Corvette's sports car technology, also pays homage to Chevrolet's performance heritage. The special package is based on Chevrolet's racing heritage and is available on all 2012 Corvette models.

The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 features improved seats, a new steering wheel design, and a new Bose Premium audio system, which are common with other Corvette models.

Customers who choose the Corvette Engine Build Experience get to help build their engine at the General Motors Performance Build Centre in Wixom, Michigan.

All models of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 come standard with OnStar. In the case of a crash, it employs GPS and cellular phone technologies to immediately call for assistance. OnStar subscribers can also utilize the program to be Good Samaritans by sending assistance to other motorists and calling for assistance in non-crash situations.
