Corvette Z06 appears certified to go beyond 200 mph

The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 debuted over six months ago, with the production slated to begin in late 2022. The information about the car is still not complete, but CorvetteBlogger has just discovered something important regarding its top speed.

Apparently, the Z06 owner manual has a section listing the slowest speeds suitable for upshifting and the top speeds for downshifting from particular gears. The bit that interests us claims that the car hits 188 miles per hour (302 km/h) on its fifth gear. Since it has a couple of gears above that, it would be only logical to assume that it can cross the psychological barrier of 200 miles per hour (322 km/h).

The new Z06 comes powered by the same 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 as the Corvette C8.R. The block produces 670 PS (661 hp / 493 kW) and 623 Nm (459 lb-ft) of torque, which an eight-speed preselector gearbox sends to the wheels.
