The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the naturally aspirated answer in a lineup that otherwise turns to turbochargers for more power. Its LT6 5.5L flat-plane-crank V8 makes 670 horsepower and revs to 8,600 rpm, which Chevrolet calls the highest-output naturally aspirated V8 ever put in a production car. Chevrolet co-developed it alongside the championship-winning Corvette GT3.R race car, and it shows: 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 131 mph, both with available equipment, starting at $121,500 before destination.

At George Nunnally Chevrolet in Bentonville, the Z06 is the step up from the Stingray for a buyer who wants a genuine track car that is still street-legal — the engine, the chassis hardware behind it, the pricing, and where it sits between the Stingray below it and the ZR1 above it, are what separate it from the rest of the lineup.

What the Z06 Adds Over the Stingray

The Z06 is not a Stingray with more power bolted on — it is a different engine entirely. Where the Stingray's LS6 is a big-displacement naturally aspirated V8 built for torque, the Z06's LT6 is a smaller-displacement, flat-plane-crank V8 built to rev, and it makes 135 more horsepower doing it. The Z06 also wears the wide body every other 2027 Corvette except the Stingray uses — 79.7 inches versus the Stingray's 76.1 — for wider front and rear tracks and more front-end cooling. Standard equipment steps up too: a Bose 10-speaker system, 8-way power GT1 seats in Mulan leather, a color Head-Up Display, a wireless phone charger, and a removable body-color roof panel on the coupe.

2027 Z06 Engine and Drivetrain

The LT6 is a 5.5L naturally aspirated V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, mounted mid-ship, making 670 hp and revving to an 8,600-rpm redline — a genuine race-car characteristic in a car you can drive to the office. It shares its 5.5L displacement and flat-plane architecture with the ZR1's LT7, but the two engines are not interchangeable: the Z06 is naturally aspirated, full stop, while the ZR1 bolts on twin turbochargers for a different powerband and a different personality. Power runs through the standard 8-speed dual-clutch automatic to the rear wheels only.

Z06 Chassis and Hardware

Every Z06 carries Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 standard, reading the road and adapting damping in as little as 10-15 milliseconds. Standard brakes are 6-piston front / 4-piston rear; the available Z07 Performance Package steps up to 4-wheel disc carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes for repeated hard stops. Z07 also brings Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer-only tires, a unique rear spoiler, and requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package — a carbon-fiber high wing, ground effects and dive planes — for real aerodynamic load, not styling. Chevrolet also offers a Corvette Engine Build Experience on the Z06's LT6: build your own engine alongside a Performance Build Center technician at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant (RPO Code PBC, limited availability). The wide body trims cargo to about 9.1 cubic feet across the front and rear trunks, less than the narrow-body Stingray's 12.6.

Z06 Pricing and Packages

The Z06 comes in 1LZ, 2LZ and 3LZ, each available as a coupe or a convertible. Every step keeps the same 670-hp LT6 and adds cabin equipment as you climb the ladder.

Model level	Starting MSRP, excluding destination	Headline additions
1LZ	$121,500	Bose 10-speaker, GT1 Mulan-leather seats, color Head-Up Display, removable body-color roof panel
2LZ	$130,400	14-speaker Bose Performance Series, heated/ventilated seats, Performance Data Recorder, heated steering wheel, Memory Driver package

Where the Z06 Sits in the Corvette Lineup

Below the Z06, the Stingray runs the LS6 big-block for daily-driver torque at a lower price. Above it, the ZR1 takes a similar 5.5L flat-plane architecture and adds twin turbochargers for 1,064 hp, and the ZR1X pairs that turbo engine with a front electric axle for all-wheel drive. See all four side by side on the Stingray vs Z06 vs ZR1 vs ZR1X comparison. Shoppers cross-checking last year's car can see the 2026 Corvette research hub.

Which Buyer Should Choose the Z06?

• You want a street-legal track car you can also drive home. 670 hp and an 8,600-rpm redline, without giving up daily usability. See Z06 inventory.
• You want the sound and response of a naturally aspirated engine, at the top of what that architecture can do. There is no NA Corvette engine that revs higher.
• You plan real track days. Order Z07 for carbon-ceramic brakes and the Carbon Fiber Aero Package.
• You want more power still, or all-weather grip. The ZR1 adds twin turbos; the ZR1X adds hybrid all-wheel drive on top of that.

Is the Z06 turbocharged?

No. The LT6 is naturally aspirated. The Corvette's twin-turbocharged engine is the 5.5L LT7, used in the ZR1 and ZR1X — a different engine, even though it shares the Z06's displacement and flat-plane crank.

The 1LZ starts at $121,500, the 2LZ at $130,400 and the 3LZ at $135,050, all excluding the $2,495 destination charge, in coupe or convertible.

How fast is the 2027 Corvette Z06?

0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 131 mph, both with available equipment.

Is the Z06 all-wheel drive?

No. The Z06 is rear-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive 2027 Corvettes are the ZR1X and the Grand Sport X.
