The newest generation of the Corvette Z06 is a legitimate supercar in every sense of the word, competing with elite European-made exotics in performance while maintaining a more approachable price point. The 2025 Corvette Z06 offers standout features like tremendous horsepower, track-inspired handling, and modern safety features.
5 Standout Features of the 2025 Corvette Z06
Incredible Horsepower and Torque
At the heart of the Z06’s performance is its precision-engineered 5.5-liter high-output DI V8 that incorporates an innovative flat-plane crank, dry sump oil system, and variable valve timing. The engine, which redlines at 8600 RPM, generates 670 horsepower and 470 foot-pounds of torque. With the optional Z07 Performance Package, the Z06 boasts a blistering 0-60 MPH time of only 2.6 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 10.6 seconds at 131 MPH.
Advanced Dual Clutch Transmission
The Z06 features an advanced 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that helps deliver its power to the pavement efficiently. The gearbox offers the smooth transitions and precision of an automatic transmission with the engagement and responsiveness of a manual. Shifts occur within 100 milliseconds to continuously deliver power and torque to the wheels. The double paddle declutch lets drivers disengage the clutch by holding down both paddles.
Track-Inspired Precision Handling
Horsepower is only useful if it translates to performance, and the Z06 has handling features that give it agility in any driving conditions. Its aluminum body structure keeps the Z06 nimble, and its 5.56 performance rear axle ratio and performance Brembo antilock brakes improve handling further. The Z06’s active handling stability control automatically enhances control during sharp maneuvers by adjusting power and braking to keep the Z06 on its path.
Performance Suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control
The Corvette Z06 incorporates the special Z06 Performance suspension with the Magnetic Selective Ride Control as a standard feature. The damping system reads road conditions by the millisecond and can correct to changes in as little as 10 milliseconds. It employs a metal particle-infused suspension fluid that can instantly become rigid when needed, keeping all four wheels engaged and planted on the pavement.
Confidence-Inspiring Safety Features
Though the Z06 is built for speed and performance, it is also engineered to keep drivers safe under varying conditions. The standard safety features in the Z06 include all-speed traction control, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert, following distance indicator, performance traction management, automatic emergency braking, an HD rear vision camera, a comprehensive airbag system, and front pedestrian and bicyclist braking.
The Corvette Z06 marks the pinnacle of American supercar performance and engineering, with a powerful high-output engine, advanced transmission, and elite handling characteristics that inspire and excite.
