AutoZine Awards 2023

Surprise of the Year

Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Surprise, surprise! Following the conversion to mid-engined, the Corvette team continues to surprise its fans and outsiders with the new Z06. It abandons the traditional small-block push-rod V8 for a brand-new 5.5-liter DOHC and flat-plane crank V8 that mimics Ferrari's V8. 124 horsepower per liter, 8600 rpm redline and a torque curve peaking at 6300 rpm all sound very un-Corvette. Now the Z06 is truly a junior supercar.
