What We Know About the 2022 Corvette Z06
The 2020 Chevy Corvette was a highly anticipated vehicle. This anticipation was because of the increase in power this vehicle would get with Chevy moving the engine to the middle of the vehicle. This mid-engine Corvette produces nearly 500-horsepower, but there is a new Corvette Z06 that will produce more than 600-horsepower. How will it do that? Learn more about what we know about the 2022 Corvette Z06 below.
What to Expect from the 2022 Chevy Corvette Z06
The upcoming Chevy Corvette Z06 will be home to a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 engine that has a flat-plane crank. This engine will be able to spin its crankshaft at 9,000 rpm. This engine will be able to give you more than 600-horsepower, which will make it significantly more powerful than the 495-horsepower 2020 Corvette.
MotorTrend says, “Like the Stingray, look for the Z06 to rely on an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to send all those horses to its rear wheels. Revisions to the car’s suspension and a set of sticky summer tires—that are properly wide at the rear—are sure to keep the Z06’s power from overwhelming its drive wheels and chassis.”
The Corvette Z06 will be an extremely powerful vehicle, but it will also offer you some nice technology and entertainment features. This vehicle is likely to be home to the Chevy Infotainment 3 Plus system with an 8-inch touchscreen. It is also likely to bring you Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a Bose premium stereo system.
When can you expect the 600-horsepower Corvette Z06? The coronavirus pandemic may have an impact on the production of this vehicle, but hopefully, you will be able to get your hands on this vehicle at the end of 2021 to represent the 2022 Corvette model year.
