At a recent auction, the first retail production 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 sold for $ 1,000,000. The amount will be added to the previous amount generated by the sale of the Corvette C8 Z06 70th Anniversary (total $ 4.6 million) and the money will be donated to charity.

The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 is powered by a 5.5-liter LT6 V8 engine with 670 hp (493 kW) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque. It is the most powerful atmospheric V8 engine in the history of production cars that does not share any part with other Chevrolet V8 engines. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the Tremec 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The owner will have the opportunity to customize the car as he wishes, which would make it an exceptional collector’s item and a wish of every collector and fan of the Chevrolet Corvette.

The winner of the auction is Rick Hendrick, President and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group. He also owns the Hendrick Motorsport team, which has won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 14 times.
