The Corvette Z06X Concept by Chevrolet

The Z06X Concept is being shown in a low gloss Icy White Metallic exterior color, accented with exposed carbon fiber body components and red trim. The CFZ package offers body components that enhance aerodynamic down force on the race track, including a front splitter. The 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package creates the lightest production Corvette and includes carbon ceramic brakes and Magnetic Ride Control. This concept car represents a mid-point between our GT race car and the production Z06, prepared by the team responsible for the Corvette Racing C6.R race cars, and featuring many performance parts owners can choose today. The Z06X concept is based on the Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ equipment package, along with the Z07 Performance Package and CFZ Carbon Fiber Package.

Chevrolet teamed with Pratt and Miller, partners in Corvette Racing in the American LeMans Series, to create the concept. Racing is an integral part of Corvette performance and technology, said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept shows how enthusiasts can use the brand’s expanding portfolio of performance parts to create a full on track car. To celebrate and suggest new ideas and components for the transformation of the production Corvette into a serious, closed course track car, Chevrolet will debut the Corvette Z06X Concept at the 2010 SEMA Show. Chevrolet motorsport portfolio is pretty expansive ranging from LeMans to club racing.
