The Corvette Z06 Carbon 65 Breathes Efficiency

Corvette Steps Into The Electric Arena

The Corvette turned 65 years old last year. If it were human, the natural course would be to slow down, relax and probably settle into a nice long retirement.

The Z06 Carbon 65 convertible is doing none of those things and instead looks more invigorated to do unthinkable magic. But how best do you understand this car?

On the exterior, the Carbon 65 Edition creates some sensible visual drama enhanced by exclusive gray body color, special badging such as door/fender decals, and enough carbon fiber to build to call it true carbon car. The front splitter, rear spoiler, body kit, hood insert, side mirrors, and wheel caps are all cast from the material.

With 650 horsepower and 650 pounds of torque and a 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, you will need to be have a little bit of guts to ride in this one. Actually, what might just work best for you is a road without other drivers and the cops.

Inside, the Carbon 65 package adds steering wheel and center console carbon fiber trim, as well as cool contrasting blue stitching on the dash and the Competition Sport bucket seats. All these fantastic elements make the interior look several notches upscale, with heated and ventilated bucket seats that hold you in the perfect driving position are extremely comfortable for the experience.

It is a car made for speed but comes with some admirable luxurious features and steady, smooth riding that won’t let you down.
