2010 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept<\/h1>\n
\n

Corvette is a mainstay on racing circuits ranging from LeMans to club racing. Chevrolet\u2019s Corvette Z06X Concept suggests a new idea and components for transforming a production Corvette into a serious, closed-course track car.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Corvette Z06X Concept showcases how an enthusiast can leverage Chevrolet\u2019s expanding portfolio of performance parts to create a full-on track car. Chevrolet teamed with Pratt and Miller, partners in Corvette Racing in the American LeMans Series, to create this Z06X track car concept.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing is an integral part of Corvette performance and technology,\u201d said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. \u201cThis concept car represents a mid-point between our GT race car and the production Z06, prepared by the team responsible for the Corvette Racing C6.R race cars, and featuring many performance parts owners can choose today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Z06X concept is based on the Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ equipment package, along with the Z07 Performance Package and CFZ Carbon Fiber Package. The 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package creates the lightest production Corvette and includes carbon ceramic brakes and Magnetic Ride Control, while the CFZ package offers body components that enhance aerodynamic down force on the race track, including a front splitter.<\/p>\n

The Z06X Concept features competition-oriented modifications including: an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, a polycarbonate rear window, roll cage, racing seat and safety harness, racing wheels, suspension enhancements \u2013 including coil-over struts with fully adjustable camber plates \u2013 racing-spec cooling system and more. The radio, carpeting and sound-deadening material are also removed.<\/p>\n

The concept vehicle wears a low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior color, accented with exposed carbon fiber body components and red trim. It rides on black racing wheels and racing tires. The interior is all business, with a racing seat, window net and roll cage-mounted camera system. It includes a racing pedal kit, a Genuine Corvette Accessory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a classic case of form following function,\u201d said Dave Ross, design manager. \u201cThe exterior color and accents were carefully selected to enhance the Corvette\u2019s racing-influenced design, but there\u2019s nothing superfluous in the Z06X\u2019s design \u2013 everything is there for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
