Chevrolet has finally revealed the pricing for its super-hot Corvette Z06 sports car, and it’s a similar price to a much-loved Porsche model.
The regular – if you can call it that – Corvette line-up also benefits from some safety and visual upgrades, but those models also cop a price increase.
So, how much is the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette?
The new Z06, unsurprisingly, tops the range at a whopping $336,000 before on-road costs. For that money you get a 5.5-litre V8 engine delivering 475kW of power and 595Nm of torque. It is exclusively offered in coupe guise.
Standard wheels are 20-inch forged aluminium ‘Spider’ wheels up front and 21-inch at the rear, and the Z06 comes standard with the 3LZ trim that includes carbon-fibre elements on the steering wheel and shift paddles, leather-wrapped door and dash panels, Nappa leather bucket seats and more.
But what else could you get for that $340k?
The most direct competitors would be the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from $335,900, Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition from $352,500, or a McLaren 540C from $350,000.
When it comes to the Corvette Stingray, the prices have gone up between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on the grade. Both the Coupe and Convertible are offered in 2LT and 3LT guise, with the 2LT Coupe now kicking off from $175,000.
For the model year update, the Stingray gains some new safety features including forward collision alert with low-speed automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking and auto high beam.
It also gains a new spoiler design, a pair of new wheel designs, and three new body colours – Cacti Green, Riptide Blue and Sea Wolf Gray. Other visual tweaks include a new engine appearance package, and a new frunk power soft close latch.
Deliveries of the Z06 kick off late in 2023.
