2023 corvette z06 indy pace car officially revealed

GM’s 33rd such machine is a special 2023 Corvette Z06 Indy Pace Car set to be driven by the fastest woman in Indy 500 history.

We’ve known about the existence of the 2023 Corvette Z06 Indy Pace Car for some time, as that particular car carries on a rich tradition within GM’s halls of history. However, now that we’re only a couple of weeks away from the 106th running of the iconic Indianapolis 500, GM has finally pulled the covers completely off the 2023 Corvette Z06 Indy Pace Car 70th Anniversary Edition model, giving us a full look at this special machine – as well as naming the lucky person that will get to pace the upcoming race.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 Indy Pace Car is powered by the same 5.5-liter, 670 horsepower V8 as its road-going brethren, and is also equipped with the Z07 Performance Package. It’s finished in White Pearl Tri-Coat Metallic paint and features unique 70th Anniversary Edition exterior badging with special Corvette crossflags, Edge Red brake calipers, and 70th Anniversary Edition logos on the seats, steering wheel, and sill plates. Chevy’s Performance Design Studio created an asymmetric stripe package specifically for the pace car, too.

“The Chevrolet Team is proud to pace the Indianapolis 500 for the 33rd time, while celebrating 70 years of Corvette,” said Steve Majoros, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “It’s only fitting the Indianapolis 500 will be the first race the 2023 Corvette Z06 paces, a truly special moment for Corvette and IndyCar fans around the world.”

The new pace car will be driven by former IndyCar driver turned team owner Sarah Fisher, who remains the fastest woman in Indianapolis 500 history. Fischer started the Indy 500 a record nine times between 2000 and 2010, with a fastest four-lap qualifying speed of 229.439 mph in 2002 that remains an event record for a female driver. Fisher also was the first woman to win the pole position for a major North American open-wheel event at Kentucky Speedway in 2002, and was also was the first female driver to earn a top-three finish in IndyCar competition after placing third at that same venue in 2000 and second in 2001 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

“Every time I’ve had the opportunity to drive at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it’s been special – from IndyCar series cars to two-seaters to vintage cars,” Fisher said. “Driving the pace car is just as special of an honor. And to have served in that role for the NTT IndyCar series since Johnny Rutherford retired, I’ve had many great memories to add to my career. I am humbled and proud to become the official Pace Car driver for the 106th Indianapolis 500 and to represent the hard work and development that Chevrolet puts into these fantastic pieces of automobile advancement and technology.”
