2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z07

Besides marking a shift from the Z06 name—which was utilized for high-performance iterations of the C5- and C6-generation Corvettes—we expect the Z07 will carry GM’s ultimate sports-car torch for most of the C7 Corvette’s product life. (A ZR1 based on the latest Corvette isn’t likely to join the lineup until late in the C7’s cycle, if at all.) Plus, as with all hot new cars, the base Corvette Stingray’s appeal is bound to cool at least somewhat in the next year or two. The Z07 should keep consumer interest and intrigue humming along.
