Chevrolet continued the Corvette saga with the introduction of the Z06 version for the C8. Thus, when most carmakers were concerned about electrification, the American carmaker indulged itself with another extreme version of their supercar.

The seventh generation of the Corvette lived its final years when Chevrolet introduced the Z06 version of America’s fastest sports car before re-inventing it as a mid-engined, proper supercar.

The 2008 Corvette Z06 was the beast unleashed by General Motor in a final attempt to create a strong image of a dying breed: the large V-8 engined American sports cars.
