GM Teases 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Chevrolet to Introduce 2015 Corvette Z06 at Detroit Show
Most-capable Corvette ever will lead industry’s broadest range of performance cars General Motors December 4, 2013 DETROIT – Chevrolet will introduce the 2015 Corvette Z06 next month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It will be the most track-capable Corvette ever, designed to deliver supercar levels of performance through unique powertrain, chassis and aerodynamic features. The Corvette Z06 will complete Chevrolet’s performance car lineup, which will also see the addition of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, Camaro Z/28 and SS sedan. “Chevrolet is America’s favorite performance car brand, and for 2014 we are going to offer enthusiasts more choices than ever before,” said Alan Batey, senior vice president, Global Chevrolet. “No other manufacturer will be able to match the breath of performance cars from Chevrolet.” Chevrolet sells one out of four performance cars in 2013 For the first 11 months of 2013, Chevrolet has accounted for about 25 percent of all performance car sales in the U.S. as Corvette and Camaro continue to lead their respective segments. Corvette outsold its closest competitor, the Porsche 911, for the first 11 months of 2013. This is all the more remarkable given Corvette production was halted for six months as the Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant prepared to build the 2014 Corvette Stingray. In November, Corvette sales jumped 229 percent year-over-year, as demand for the new Stingray continues to outstrip supply. Camaro also outsold its closest competitor, the Ford Mustang, for the first 11 months of 2013. Camaro enters December with a 4,093-unit lead in total sales. More importantly, Camaro has an estimated 10,000-unit lead in retail sales. If that lead continues through the end of the year, 2013 will be the fourth consecutive year Camaro has been the best-selling sports car in the U.S. Four new performance cars for 2014 The sales lead for Chevrolet is expected to accelerate as the brand adds four new performance cars to the lineup, including:

I hate the month or so of teasers and 'leaks' before Detroit. When the cars finally get shown, they no longer feel new.

This could be very interesting if the new Z06 beats out the c6 Z07 package in the corners and the c6 ZR1 in the straights!

The regular Vette with Z51 is already so full of win its ridiculous. This car is going to be downright nasty.
Lots of people are hoping for naturally aspirated, and I am too (assuming they will produce another ZR1). I'd guess 500 - 550 HP naturally aspirated, but if they go forced induction I don't see room for a ZR1, unless they want the ZR1 to have like 750+ HP. lol

I believe it will be N/A, since that has been the formula for the Z06 since the start. I wouldn't be surprised to see a forced induction ZR1 in another year or so.

They're bringing the cars that's for sure.
I just wish the quality and service was better on them. |

Also, the timing of this announcement/teaser image + the auto show debut is pretty funny.
Methinks GM wants revenge for a certain Mustang variant that debuted at the same time the ZL1 did.
