Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wallpaper

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is undoubtedly the most sophisticated sports car ever produced by General Motors. Underneath the Z06's hood sits an all-new LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine rated at what Chevy estimates will be 625 horsepower and 635 lb-ft. of torque (figures will be confirmed closer to the Z06's on sale date late in 2014). Like the standard Corvette's V8, it also now includes continuously variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation (to reduce fuel consumption) and direct injection. The V8 can be mated either to a seven-speed manual or a new eight-speed 8L90 automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Instead of fitting the 'Vette with a dual-clutch unit, the automaker's engineers worked to give the eight-speed gearbox "world class shift-response times."
