New 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in Bellevue, NE
New 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in Bellevue, NE
Some cars are fast. The Z06 is a racing engine with license plates. Its 5.5-liter LT6 uses a flat-plane crankshaft borrowed straight from motorsport, screaming to an 8,600 rpm redline and making 670 horsepower with no turbos and no hybrid help. That makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever fitted to a production car, and it sounds like nothing else on a Nebraska road. Co-developed alongside the championship-winning Corvette GT3.R, it reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, clears the quarter mile in 10.6 at 131 mph, and lapped the Nürburgring in 7:11.826. A wide-body stance, quad center exhaust, and standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 complete the package. Starting at $120,300 in coupe or convertible form.

Every Vent Earns Its Keep
The Z06 is 3.6 inches wider than a Stingray, and none of it is decoration: the flared bodywork feeds air to the LT6 and clears far larger tires. Quad center exhausts sit where the sound belongs, and the available carbon fiber wheels shed serious unsprung weight.
Interior
Built Around the Driver, Literally
Three new screens wrap the cockpit for 2026: a 12.7-inch center display, a 14-inch driver display, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen. Choose Competition Sport buckets, Ultimate Suede in your stitch color, and an available carbon fiber display hood that turns the dash into sculpture.
The 2026 Corvette Z06: A Race Engine You Can Register
The LT6 is the whole argument. A flat-plane crankshaft lets the 5.5-liter V8 spin to an 8,600 rpm redline, and the resulting 670 horsepower arrives with a hard, exotic wail that no cross-plane pushrod engine can imitate. Nothing about it is assisted: no turbochargers, no supercharger, no electric motor. It is simply the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever put in a production car, hand-assembled in Bowling Green and mounted behind the seats where it belongs.
Chassis hardware matches the engine. Standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 reads the surface and adjusts damping in as little as 10 milliseconds. Six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes are standard, with carbon ceramics available. The Z07 Performance Package adds those carbon ceramic Brembos, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, a unique rear spoiler, and the required Carbon Fiber Aero Package with high wing, dive planes, and ground effects. So equipped, a Z06 lapped the Nürburgring in 7 minutes 11.826 seconds.
For 2026, the cabin caught up. The redesigned cockpit brings a 12.7-inch center display, a 14-inch driver display, a 6.6-inch auxiliary screen, five new premium colorways, and a rebuilt Performance Data Recorder that handles lap analysis and video comparison on the car's own screens. Chevrolet also revived the Custom Engine Build program, letting you assemble your own LT6 alongside a master technician. Browse our Z06 inventory in Bellevue.
2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 2026 Corvette Z06 cost?
The 2026 Z06 starts at $120,300 for the 1LZ. The 2LZ opens at $129,200 and adds the 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system, heated and ventilated seats, the Performance Data Recorder, and blind zone alerts. The 3LZ begins at $133,850 with Napa leather GT2 seats and a leather-wrapped instrument panel. A well-optioned example shown by Chevrolet reaches $166,125.
How fast is the Corvette Z06?
Zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and a quarter mile of 10.6 seconds at 131 mph. More telling than the straight-line numbers is the Nürburgring lap: 7 minutes 11.826 seconds, set by Corvette engineer and driver Aaron Link on one of the most demanding circuits in the world.
What makes the LT6 engine special?
Two things. First, the flat-plane crankshaft, a design normally reserved for Ferrari and racing engines, which allows the 5.5-liter V8 to rev to an 8,600 rpm redline and gives it that distinctive high-pitched howl. Second, the output: 670 horsepower with no turbocharging, supercharging, or hybrid assistance, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever fitted to a production car.
What does the Z07 Performance Package add?
Z07 is the track specification. It brings four-wheel carbon ceramic Brembo brakes for far greater heat resistance, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 ultra-performance summer tires, and a unique rear spoiler. It also requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package, which adds a carbon fiber high wing, dive planes, and ground effects for meaningful downforce. If you plan to run track days, this is the package to order.
What changed on the Z06 for 2026?
The interior received its biggest revision since the C8 arrived. Three reconfigurable screens now surround the driver: a 12.7-inch center console display, a 14-inch driver information center, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen. Add five new premium colorways, a standard wireless charging pad, an available carbon fiber display hood, the reworked Performance Data Recorder, and the new PTM Pro traction mode that fully disables electronic intervention.
Can I help build my own Z06 engine?
Yes. Chevrolet brought back the Corvette Custom Engine Build program, which lets you assemble your own LT6 alongside a master technician at the Performance Build Center in Bowling Green. It includes a custom engine plaque, an exclusive gift, and professional photos. Add RPO code PBC to your order through us. Availability is limited, so ask early.
How is the Z06 different from the Stingray?
Everything meaningful. The Stingray uses a 6.2-liter pushrod V8 making 490 to 495 horsepower and is tuned for daily comfort. The Z06 substitutes the high-revving flat-plane LT6 with 670 horsepower, widens the body by 3.6 inches, fits far larger wheels and tires, and adds standard Magnetic Ride 4.0. It is louder, stiffer, and considerably more focused. The Stingray is the road car. The Z06 is the track car you can drive home.
Is the Z06 available as a convertible?
Yes. Both coupe and hardtop convertible bodies are offered across all three trims. The coupe uses a removable body-color roof panel, while the convertible's power-retractable hardtop raises or lowers at speeds up to 30 mph. Performance hardware is identical between the two.
