FIRST LOOK: 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 – all you need to know + glorious noise | Top Gear

This is the new Corvette Z06, and we’ll get the big news out of the way first: it’s being made in right-hand drive. It marks the first time we might be able to buy the most athletic ‘Vette officially in the UK. But with 670bhp, it’s also the world's most powerful nat-asp V8 you can get. And in Z07 spec it has carbon wheels and a ginormous wing. Oh, and it also makes a fabulous noise. So allow Top Gear’s Ollie Marriage to geek out about it so you know the score before it hits our shores

Man that silver z06 with those rims, Removable top and flat wing are nice. I really want one now

I was in Bowling Green when the 2 tornados came through at night on Dec 11. The corvette plant there was fortunate it didn’t get destroyed like so many hundreds of homes and factories in Bowling Green. There was a fire on the roof- perhaps from downed electrical lines and the employee entrance was damaged. But all in all it survived. Not so for SO many others. 12 lives lost and hundreds homeless. Pray for Bowling Green and the rest of the towns and families impacted by this storm.

In all seriousness the z06 coupe spec is absolute artistry

Now this engine should’ve been the successor to the glorious N/A V8 found in 458 😂😂 I know I know, you can only do so much with N/A engines and I totally understand why Ferrari went the turbo route but hear this thing out, this is just insane! I’m always a Ford guy but this is just irresistible ❤️

[citizenkane]

I still cannot believe GM somehow made a car that stunning inside, beautiful on the outside, and one of the highest performers on the market, all while having a sticker price under 150k.

[devanman]

This is the car we want. Its like all the best stuff we love in a sports car without all the bs that comes with sports cars now.

[Storms]

The sound of that engine alone makes it worth every penny.

[lesflynn]

That silver Z06 is absolutely gorgeous.

[tdodge]

2:50 didn't sound like you had the car exhaust in it's noisiest setting. You can go into the cars menus and set the exhaust tone, opening more valves and making the sound louder and more crisp.

[orjanlax]

This engine has to be the best V8 I’ve ever heard, the LT6 is magical in every way, the real successor to the 458 engine

[sturat]

It fixes some issues I have with the rear. Incredible engine. Z07 is a bit too much for my taste. That silver coupe with maybe red seats, black/grey plastics would basically be perfect.

[williewideback]

This corvette will be a hit once it's finally out

[revelare_xvii]

A flat plane crank engine in a production Vette. What a time to be alive.

[staLkerhu]

I've never truly loved silver on any car, but this car looks just WOW in it! I think this silver color and the yellow one (appeared in Jay Leno's garage) are the best match! Black, white, red, blue and orange versions are quite meh for me.

[drewkramer]

Wow that sound. Something electric cars will never be able to capture. That silver spec with those wheels is absolute perfection.

[ravioli]

As a C4 Corvette can not wait to own a C8 Zo6 !!! Good video 👍

[sdlausen]

*This is the next generation Ferrari 458 that Ferrari never built and it's made by Chevrolet!* Never thought I'd see the day!

[jessevarela]

I like the way you explain things in an exciting and non-snobbish manner. Well done.

[shaun]

As an American, it's my opinion these are the best cars in the world. And here's why:

They are priced so that ANYONE in the middle class can save up some money and get one. These aren't $300k super cars. The base 'Vette goes for $60k, which is cheaper than most of the F-150 trucks driving around on the road.

[twyzne]

That silver with the wheels is breathtaking. Not to mention that hot red interior and design 🔥 They really hit it out the park with this one.
