2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06

A few days ago, Chevrolet released a short video of the new 2023 Corvette C8 Z06, and now it has been officially unveiled. It is the eighth generation Corvette, more powerful than the first version.

The Z06 will be offered in both body versions, the Coupe and the Convertible. The optional Z07 Performance package offers many carbon elements. Also, the company said that the engineers developed the exhaust system for two years to get the desired sound that sets the Z06 apart from the sound produced by all previous Corvettes. The multi-adjustable suspension and wider front are just some of the changes, compared to previous models, that give the Z06 a more aggressive look.

Inside, the Z06 retains the look of its predecessor with heated seats, a 12-inch digital cluster and a head-up display, but also with specific decals.

The Corvette C8 Z06 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 engine with 670 hp (493 kW) and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h).

For safe braking and stopping there are 6-piston front and 4-piston rear Brembo brakes. The Z06 is equipped with 20-inch wheels with Michelin Sport Cup 2 R ZP 275/30/20 (front) and 345/25/21 (rear) tires.

Production of the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 is expected to begin in the summer of 2022.

The OpenSea website sells a California license plate that contains only two letters, MM. Believe it or not, it sells for as much as $ 24.4 million, making it the most expensive license plate in the world.

California has more than 35 million registered vehicles, and each of them has unique license plates with between two and seven characters. Cars like the Bugatti Chiron and LaFerrari have been seen before with license plates with only three characters on them. Two-character license plates are extremely rare in the United States, and especially in California.

The “MM” California plates are one of only 35 copies with two characters in the United States. The NFT token, which provides access to digital data and proves authenticity, adds value to the tables. The QR code and ID number of the NFT troken are laser printed on the back of the license plate.

Besides license plate MM, there is also one that says “New York.” It is currently on an old Volvo and is selling for about $ 20 million. The most expensive license plate sold in the US is with the number “11”, in Delaware. It was purchased for $ 675,000.

Currently, the most expensive license plate in the world was paid $ 14.8 million and was purchased in Abu Dhabi.
