The Corvette Z06 is the fastest, most powerful production Corvette ever built. A super factory in Kentucky is the only place in the world where a Z06 is built from start to finish in 36 hours.
Long synopsis: The Corvette Z06 is a high performance street machine exploding with the force of 505 horsepower and a top speed of three hundred and twenty kilometres an hour. It's the fastest, most powerful production Corvette ever built. The Corvette factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is the only location in the world where a Z06 is built from start to finish in 36 hours. Every Z06 engine is hand assembled by one builder and the structure of the sports car has been painstakingly crafted to be lightweight - with an all-aluminium frame, carbon fibre fenders, a balsa wood floor and the first ever magnesium engine cradle. All these components make the Corvette Z06 a fierce competitor in the sports car world - surpassing most in road performance and handling.
