General Motors may be busy narrowing in on the Corvette’s redesign, but in the short term Chevrolet is introducing a new limited edition Vette to stir demand among enthusiasts. The Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition borrows many of the same features found in the high-performance ZR1 and transplants them into this other performance model.
Among the new features found on the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition include Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, magnetic select ride control system, black carbon-fiber rockers, carbon-fiber raised hood, and 20-spoke wheels wrapped with Michelin PS2 tires.
The 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Corvette’s first 24 Hours of Le Mans race. As such, this Vette will also receive European styled racing decal numbers.
With its Z06 engine and extreme lightweight – thanks to a bevy of carbon fiber bits and pieces – this limited edition Corvette will certainly be better suited for the track than as a daily driver admits Hartford Chevrolet. But with only 500 of these models being produced, it’s likely that they will go fast when they arrive in showrooms this summer.
