As we reported earlier in Chevrolet’s lineup for SEMA post, they unveiled two special edition Corvettes at the show. There’s the Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept, which for all intents and purposes is inspired by the C6R Racing ‘Vette, and the Corvette Jake Edition which comes with a skull under the bonnet, literally!
The Z06X concept is based on the Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ equipment package, along with the Z07 Performance Package and CFZ Carbon Fiber Package. The 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package creates the lightest production Corvette and includes carbon ceramic brakes and Magnetic Ride Control, while the CFZ package offers body components that enhance aerodynamic down force on the race track, including a front splitter.
The car is painted in a low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior color garnished with exposed carbon fiber parts and red trims.
