Fox News Autos Test Drive: 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The 2020 Corvette Stingray is the first mid-engine version of the all-American sports car. Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu found out if it it has what it takes to compete with the world's best.
The first image of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has been released a month before the sports car's official debut on Oct. 26.

The silver car shown in the photo posted to Instagram features a revised front end and substantially larger side air intakes for its mid-mounted engine than the Stingray's.

Technical details on the Z06 have not been revealed, but it is expected to be powered by a racing-style flat-plane-crank V8, which can be heard in a previous social media post.
Rumor has it that the engine will have a displacement of 5.5 liters, similar to the Corvette C8.R racing car's, and over 600 horsepower.
