2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will be the 7th generation car and the Most Capable, Ever
With the track-focused Z07 performance package, the 2015 Corvette Z06 delivers faster lap times than the 2014 Corvette ZR1.
The performance envelope for Corvette with unprecedented levels of aerodynamic downforce, at least 625 horsepower from an all-new supercharged engine, and an all-new, high-performance eight-speed automatic transmission all building on the advanced driver technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray.
The heart of the 2015 Corvette Z06 is the all-new LT4 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine, expected to deliver an estimated 625 horsepower (466 kW) and 635 lb.-ft. of torque (861 Nm). To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages the same trio of advanced technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray: Direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing.The aluminum frame carries over from the Corvette Stingray.
The new 1.7L Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger spins at up to 20,000 rpm 5,000 rpm more than the supercharger on the Corvette ZR1's LS9. The rotors are shorter in length, too, which contributes to their higher-rpm capability
High 10.0:1 compression ratio for a forced-induction engine enhances performance and efficiency; enabled by direct injection
Forged aluminum pistons with unique, stronger structure to ensure strength under high cylinder pressures.
Stainless steel exhaust headers and aluminum balancer that are lighter than their LT1 counterparts.
Standard dry-sump oiling system with larger cooler capacity than Z51; used with dual-pressure-control oil pump.
For performance driving, the transmission offers full manual control via steering wheel paddles, and unique algorithms to deliver shift performance that rivals the dual-clutch/semi-automatic transmissions found in many supercars but with the smoothness and refinement that comes with a conventional automatic fitted with a torque converter.
The 2015 Corvette Z06 is the only supercar that delivers over 600 horsepower and offers the choice of a 7-speed manual or an all-new available track-certified 8-speed paddle-shift automatic.
In fact, the 8L90's controller analyzes and executes commands 160 times per second, and wide-open-throttle upshifts are executed up to eight-hundredths of a second quicker than those of the dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911.
The eight-speed automatic will be built at GM's Toledo, Ohio, transmission facility.The LT4 will be built in Tonawanda, N.Y., and Bowling Green, Ky., at the new Performance Build Center.
