2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Hot Springs AR

The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the one built around its engine: a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter LT6 flat-plane V8 that revs to 8,600 rpm and makes 670 horsepower, the highest-output naturally aspirated V8 Chevrolet has ever put in a production car. It is not turbocharged, and that is the whole point. Starting at $121,500, the Z06 is the track-focused Corvette for the enthusiast who values how an engine makes its power, and Allen Tillery Chevrolet orders and services it for drivers across Hot Springs, Malvern and Arkadelphia.

Below is what the Z06 is and where it fits in the range.

What the Z06 Adds Over the Grand Sport

Where the Grand Sport shares the Stingray's engine, the Z06 brings its own: the LT6, a 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V8 unrelated to the LS6. It makes 670 horsepower to an 8,600-rpm redline, roughly 135 more than the naturally aspirated cars below it, and it changes the character of the whole car. The Z06 also carries the wide body and can be optioned with the Z07 Performance Package for full track hardware. This is the step from a fast road car to a purpose-built track weapon.

2027 Z06 Engine and Drivetrain

The LT6 5.5-liter V8 is naturally aspirated with a flat-plane crank, making 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft and spinning to an 8,600-rpm redline that gives it a sound like a racing engine. Drive goes to the rear wheels via the 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle; 60 arrives in 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 131 mph with available equipment. A common mistake is to call the Z06 turbocharged; it is not. The twin-turbo engine is the LT7, found in the ZR1 and ZR1X.

Z06 Chassis and Hardware

The Z06 backs its engine with serious running gear: forged 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, standard Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The Z07 Performance Package is the track upgrade, adding carbon-ceramic brakes, Cup 2 R tires and a unique rear spoiler, and it requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package with its high wing, ground effects and dive planes. Ordered that way, the Z06 is a car happier at a track day than almost anything at its price.

Z06 Pricing and Packages

Prices exclude the $2,495 destination charge. Two seats, a 12.6-cubic-foot pair of trunks and no tow rating are the practical figures behind the Z06's track focus. A federal Gas Guzzler tax applies.

The Z06 in the Corvette Lineup

The Z06 is the naturally aspirated performance peak. Below it, the Stingray and Grand Sport share the 535-horsepower LS6; above it, the ZR1 and ZR1X add twin turbos and far more power. For the numbers, see the specs page; to weigh the Z06 against its siblings, see the models compared page.

Which Buyer Should Choose the Z06?

• The engine enthusiast: the 8,600-rpm naturally aspirated flat-plane V8 is the emotional high point of the lineup.
• The track-day regular: with the Z07 package it is a genuine circuit car.
• The buyer who wants exotic character below supercar money: the Z06 delivers it. Build yours in the Z06 inventory.
