The 2023 Chevy Corvette<\/a> Z06 is nearly upon us, but just before its official Tuesday reveal date they’ve given us a sneak listen to its glorious exhaust note.

The first<\/a> showed a C8 Z06, still wearing its camouflage, in an anechoic chamber. It does a slow climb to the flat-plane 5.5-liter V8’s stratospheric 8,600 rpm redline<\/a>. Every time you expect the note to crescendo, the Chevy<\/a> delivers more in a seemingly endless escalation.<\/p>\n

A second<\/a> video has Hartford plugging her ears by the quad exhaust as a driver spikes the go-pedal. The revs peak as instantaneously as the most exotic supercars<\/a>, sounding more like like a BMW<\/a> or Lexus<\/a> V8 rather than the low, lumpy-cammed thump-thump of traditional Detroiters or the powerful but frankly tinny sound of the C7 Z06.<\/p>\n

The engine is related to the V8 found in Chevy’s Corvette C8.R race car, which actually has less power and a lower redline at 7,600 rpm. Those are due to rules in the racing series in which it competes, not an engineering limitation.<\/p>\n

The car in the anechoic chamber looks closer to the Z06 that Chevy has officially shown<\/a>, as it lacks the giant wing seen on the Z06 in spy shots<\/a> and in the second video. Both spoilers differ from the one found on the base Corvette<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the wing, the Z06 will have more aggressive front and rear fascias. The side intakes feeding the mid-mounted V8 appear to take a different shape as well, wider and contrasting colors<\/a> in their housing.<\/p>\n

The V8 sounds befitting of a mid-engined supercar, and foretells good things about the Z06. We’ll know more when the official release takes place tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
