GM Canada has announced pricing for the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the high(er)-performance variant of the mid-engine C8 Corvette that took the world by storm in 2020.
The Z06 rides on the same platform as the C8 ‘Vette, but rocks the new LT6 engine, a hand-built naturally aspirated flat-plane 5.5L V8 generating 670 horsepower and revving up to 8,600 rpm.
Pricing opens at $128,198 for the base-level 1LZ coupe; $138,198 for the 2LZ coupe; and $144,198 for the 3LZ coupe. Convertible versions of all three trims are also available for an additional $9,000 each, and all prices include the $2,298 destination freight charge.
“With a striking, confident stance, expansive tactile feel delivered to [the] driver, and new levels of customization available, the 2023 Corvette Z06 is putting the world on notice,” GM Canada wrote in a release. “The supercar’s hand-built 5.5L flat plane crank engine is the most powerful production naturally aspirated V8 ever made, and it creates an unmistakable sound as it revs to 8,600 rpm.”
GM is also offering a number of packages with the Z06, including a Carbon Aero Package that adds a Z07 splitter, rockers, dive planes up front, and a spoiler out back, all finished in either Visible Carbon Fibre for $12,065; or Carbon Flash-Painted for $9,765.
The Z07 Performance Package ($10,344) builds on the Carbon Aero Package with FE7 suspension, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, track-ready Michelin Pilot Cup 2R ZP tires, and underbody strakes to improve aerodynamics. And finally there’s the option for carbon-fibre wheels that cut a total of 18.6 kg (41 lbs) from the car’s weight and can be ordered in Visible Carbon Fibre for $13,794; or Carbon Flash-Painted for $11,494.
By our calculations, that gives the most elevated version of the 2023 Z06 a price of $172,930 excluding taxes.
The 2023 Corvette Z06 will be available for order in Canada as of July 28.
