2011 Z06 Carbon Limited Edition

You want something hot for the track? It's going to be hard to anything that comes to close to being as incindiary as the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition coming in late summer. Price wasn't announced.

This limited edition Z06 will boast Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with specific dark gray metallic calipers. These powerful brakes were first introduced on the ZR1. Black 19-inch wheels -- 19 inches in front and 20 inches in the rear -- set off the car's jaunty look. It also has Magnetic Selective Ride Control for the first time on the Z06 and enhanced cooling. The car also features a special carbon pattern engine cover. The carbon fiber can be found on black rockers, splitter and roof panel with the full-width body color spoiler.

Colors? Just two: The Corvette Z06 Carbon will be available in Inferno Orange and Supersonic Blue, seen above. Black headlamps and mirrors, a ZR1-style body color spoiler, body color door handles, carbon fiber raised hood, and black carbon fiber rockers and splitter enhance the Z06's dynamic design and reduce mass and aerodynamic lift. For track events, customers can also install the Euro-styled racing numbers that come with each car.

Chevrolt says the Carbon Limited is an example of how the Corvette line up is expanding.:

Five years ago, customers had the choice of a Corvette coupe or convertible. With the addition of the Z06, Grand Sport coupe and convertible and ZR1, Corvette enthusiasts now have more choices than ever.

"Designed to further incorporate technology developed through racing, the Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition is a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Corvette's first race in the 24 Hours of LeMans," said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet General Manager. "With a limited production of 500 units, this car is a must-have for the true Corvette collector and driving enthusiast."
