Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car is one of the undoubted highlights at the Chevy’s booth at this year’s edition of SEMA. As the name suggests, the special ride showcases how a production Corvette can be easily transformed into an exceptional, full-on track ride.
Developed in collaboration with the brand’s partners in the American LeMans Series – Pratt and Miller, the Corvette Z06X Track Show Car draws its basis from the Corvette Z06, packed with a 1LZ equipment package, a Z07 Performance Package, as well as a CFZ Carbon Fiber Package.
Among its most significant race-orientated enhancements, the Corvette Z06X utilizes an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, a polycarbonate rear window, roll cage, racing seat and safety harness, racing wheels, suspension enhancements – including coil-over struts with fully adjustable camber plates – racing-spec cooling system and more.
On its exterior, a remarkable low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior color accented by exposed carbon fiber body components and red trim is reinforced by the 10-spoke black racing alloys wrapped in high-performance racing tires, which lend the ride even purer racing character.
Dave Ross, design manager stated: “It’s a classic case of form following function. The exterior color and accents were carefully selected to enhance the Corvette’s racing-influenced design, but there’s nothing superfluous in the Z06X’s design – everything is there for a reason.”
