Big rev Corvette

GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) has confirmed Australia will be among the right-hand drive markets to receive the 2023 Model Year Corvette Z06. The high performance Z06 is the pinnacle of the Corvette sports car range but has previously only been available in left-hand drive. Confirmation of the all-American supercar follows the September arrival of Australia’s first right-hand drive C8 Corvettes: its first production run sold out in record time. The more potent Z06 debuts a naturally aspirated 5.5L DOHC V8, with its flat-plane crank enabling a heady 8600rpm rev ceiling, and bristling outputs of 500kW/623Nm. It’s been a big first year for GMSV, which rose from the ashes of Holden in 2020, and has since launched a model portfolio comprising the Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Premium, LT Trail Boss and Silverado Heavy Duty LTZ Premium, as well as the C8 Corvette.
