2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The 2024 Corvette is Chevrolet's mid-engine sports car, offered as a coupe or convertible with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. It lines up against the Porsche 911, Audi R8, and Nissan GT-R, but undercuts them on price while matching their performance. The mid-engine layout gives it tenacious grip and a balanced feel, though the ride is firm, especially on track-oriented trims. The cabin wraps the driver in controls angled toward them, with a front trunk and a rear cargo area for weekend luggage. Standard tech includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a head-up display on higher trims. Stepping up to the Z06 from the Stingray swaps the pushrod V8 for a high-revving flat-plane-crank V8 that revs to 8600 rpm, and adds wider bodywork, a track-tuned suspension, and a rear spoiler. The 5.5L V8 makes 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and returns 15 mpg combined. The Z07 package adds carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, and a carbon-fiber aero package for serious track capability.
