Chevrolet is bringing back the gentleman’s classic Corvette in grand fashion with the release of the Corvette Z06. The move is to pay homage to the 1960 Corvette competing at the 24 hours of Le Mans. Corvette is releasing this mean machine in limited edition. So, if you got the cash to pony up for one of these bad boys you better get it right away. They are only releasing 500 in late summer.

For those who do manage to get their hands on this car, which blends science and style together in perfect harmony, be aware that this is one high quality automobile. It’s been compared to the ZR1 which is the fastest that the Corvette has ever been. Makers have a treat with the Z06; it’s not only capable of the same speeds, but it’s lighter as well.

The Z06 is a balanced car from front to back. It’s rocking 19inch tires in the front, and 20 inch tires in the back. It’s sporting a 7.0 liter V-8 engine that hums like nothing you have ever seen before. As for the inspiring, lightweight frame? Nothing other than the use of carbon. From the carbon engine cover to the ceramic and carbon brakes, this car is so light you can’t help but feel totally free.

It’s the kind of car that ChivCulture.com loves. It’s sleek, styling and makes an impression from the moment you put your eyes on it. It’s more than a car, it’s a high fashion statement.
