THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

For Corvette enthusiasts, 'Z06' has always carried a special allure. Originally the package one got if they were destined for the track in their C2 Corvette, it took a long sabbatical from the option list before return as the hottest version of the C5 Corvette as a hardtop-only model that was both the lightest and most powerful in the lineup. With the C6, the Z06 returned as the lightest and most powerful version of the newest 'Vette it also brought the 7-liter V8 back into the fold—a displacement that had been missing from the Corvette lineup for over three decades.

For 2011, Chevy unveiled the Z06 Carbon, a model intended to bridge the gap to the ZR-1—a monster of a machine with 145 extra, supercharged ponies. But in keeping with the ethos of the Z06, this special edition was intended for the purist enthusiast who wanted channel the track driving experience. The rare package featured the ZR1's carbon ceramic brakes housed around staggered wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot rubber, magnetically control shocks, and a plethora of additional carbon fiber components-as the name suggests. This includes a front splitter, hood, roof panel, and full width rear spoiler. In addition, the interior is swathed in plenty of alcantara from the seats to the steering wheel.

This car is one of only 500 Z06 Carbons produced with and one of 250 made in Supersonic Blue. It was delivered new to a gentleman in the Philadelphia area who soon parted ways with the car and placed it into the hands of its current caretaker. At the time of cataloging, just 1,665 miles show on the odometer. As it sits today, the car remains in remarkable condition overall and an inspection upon its most recent purchase has deemed the car fully functional and ready to go.
