WE RATE THE W Corvette C8 Stingray. Anything that can emerge in top spot in a comparison test against a Mercedes-AMG C63 S, an Audi RS5 and a Jaguar F-Type P450 (Wheels Sept '22) is clearly made of the right stuff. With a 369kW V8 slinging just 1545kg up the road, it'a a potent and accomplished thing. It's priced keenly too, thanks to its factory right-hand-drive build.
We always knew that the 'vanilla' 'Vette was just the start. The C8 product line had some hugely ambitious plans behind it.
The first of the specials to make landfall in Australia is the Z06. This features a 5.5-litre atmo V8 with a flatplane crank and, in Australian tune, develops 475kW and 595Nm. The first cars are now arriving, and the asking price in the 3LZ coupe (the only version imported) is $336,100.
